STOP THINKING AND BEGIN THANKING

STOP THINKING AND BEGIN THANKING

Have you found yourself in a situation where you think and think and think and can’t see a way through? 

Maybe you need to change your tactic. Maybe you don’t have a THINKINGproblem… maybe you have a THANKINGproblem.

When you can’t THINK your way through, you need to THANK your way through!

We live in a world that values process, procedure, charts, graphs, reports, analysis, logic and hard cold facts. 

But some situations cannot be logic-ed through!

Some situations don’t make sense no matter how many charts you make or ways you look at it.

Some situations are out of our control to change.

Some situations are so painful that thinking about them becomes unbearable.

Some situations you cannot THINK your way through!   
Yet, you can THANK your way through.

Do you want a new job, a new home, a new relationship and you THINK about it all the time, but you don’t move forward.
Until you are thankful for what you have you will never have more. 

Let me repeat that… 
Until you are thankful for what you have you will never have more. 

Don’t waste your time THINKING, poor me, I will never get that job, big house or perfect relationship.  This kind of stinking thinking just builds resentment, anger and frustration.

Instead, be thankful for the job you have now- no matter how bad it is; be thankful for the place you live now – no matter what size or condition it is in; and be thankful for the friends, family and relationships you already have –even if you don’t have that perfect partner right now.

Once you begin being thankful for what you have you begin to get more! 

If you are grieving the loss of a job, relationship, or the passing of someone dear to you, turn any bitterness or anger into gratitude.

Be thankful for the time you had with that situation or person.
Be thankful for what you learned from them, (good and bad).
Be thankful for the love they brought into your life and the love you had the opportunity to express to them – no matter what length of time that you had with them.  


When you turn THINKING intoTHANKING the pain of your grief will lighten.

Once you begin being thankful for what you had or what you have now, you will begin to see your life in a new way.
Change that one little letter in the middle of the word… stop THINKING and beginTHANKING!
