LET GO OF WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE
To be thankful for what you have let go of what you do not have.
I remember my first Thanksgiving as if it were yesterday. It was my first year after leaving South Africa and I’d been invited to two gatherings. I wasn’t sure what to make of pumpkin pie but I loved the extended family gatherings I was included in. And then I began to think of my family so far away and how the only family I would have would be the one I created.
In that moment I had a choice to focus on what I did not have or open my energy and spirit to something different.
I knew I could not live in a place of longing for what I did not have. I looked around the room and realized that I was blessed by those who had included me.
In my moments of regret or longing I always go back to that moment and remember the life-lesson it still teaches. How will you be thankful for what you have?
Call-to-Action:
-
Let go of yearning for what you do not have
-
Be thankful for who and what you have today
Notice how being present to thankfulness enlivens you.
