START WITH GRATITUDE

We wish, hope, and long for things to happen. And one day, they do. But maybe not exactly when we wanted, or not with the perfect details we imagined. Perhaps it happened differently than we pictured—yet it happened.

What if we started with gratitude?

You took the first step when you wished for it. Now that it has come to life, set aside the conditions and expectations—take the next step and say thank you! Then reflect: What did you want, and what actually happened? Maybe what came to you is even better than what you initially wished for, but you just haven’t realized it yet.

That checklist in your hand—take another look. Could it be that something you thought was missing was actually exactly right all along?

What’s one thing in your life that turned out different than expected—but maybe even better?
