For some reason this morning, the word that’s running through my head is grateful. I’m aiming for big things, just like you are. But sometimes in that aim, we forget the simple things. I’ve got ten fingers. I’ve got ten toes. I’ve got a roof over my head. I’ve got a cup of coffee in front of me, and I have a working vehicle. I’m ahead of a lot of people. And I don’t mean to say ahead. I mean to say different, okay?
There are people who don’t have the circumstances I have. So I shouldn’t focus on making $5 million this year. I should focus right now, in the moment, on being grateful. I would encourage you to do the same thing. Be grateful for the simple things right in front of your face. Your spouse, your kids. Hey, you know what? If you’re someone with adult kids and they’re not in jail and they’re not on crack, you should sure as hell be grateful for that. Do yourself a favor. Take five minutes a day and be grateful for the simple things right in front of your face.
