As Thanksgiving (and Thanksgiving break) approaches, I can't help but think of all the things I'm thankful for. With all of my to-do lists and weekly happenings, it is so easy to focus on the mountain of things in front of me, without thinking of the mountain of blessings I have as well. How many times a day so we really stop and just meditate on how fortunate we are? Not nearly as much as we should, thats for sure.
I want this Thanksgiving to be different for me, and I have a feeling it will be. I want to break the mentality of focusing on what I have not, and place heavier emphasis on what I have. If we constantly mediate on the things we lost or wish we had, we lose precious time to pursue the things we are destined to obtain! Venting can be an awesome release, but there comes a time when you need to vent less and speak out more. The more you speak about and meditate on a thing, the more likely you are to make it happen.
One thing I am especially thankful for this holiday season is time. I am thankful for this time I have had to be to myself, discover who I am, and understand myself. I am thankful for the time I have had to talk with wonderful, uplifting, and encouraging people. People who have been willing to invest their time and words of wisdom in me, who took the time to see something in me worth becoming a part of. I am thankful for the time I wasted, because I often work better when I know I have less time to work with. But most importantly, I am thankful for the times to come. Everything that I have learned and done has only been the tip of the iceberg. The things that are to come are the things that keep me excited and motivated, they are worth all the time in the world.
