Sometimes we spend so much time and energy thinking about where we want to go that we don't notice where we happen to be.

You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you
