Fall, a time to be thankful, to reflect, to think about the coming year. It seems a calmness comes with Fall - Life slows down if only for a moment. Giving us all a moment to take a much needed breath. Are you thankful for where you are in your life? Would you be happier if you had different possessions, opportunities, situations or people in your life? Focusing on what you don't have won't make you happy. Focusing on what you want can and should drive your goals, but it's absolutely wrong to tell yourself that you will be happy when you get what you want. What happens when you get it? You are happy for sure, but that feeling only lasts a moment. There is always a NEXT THING to want and because there is always something more to be had, your happiness becomes more about chasing a dream and not living in the moment, being present and attentive. You can't let what you don't have stop you from appreciating what you do have. There is not a moment in life that goes by that we don't have something to be thankful for. Wake up each morning grateful, spread love and happiness, look for ways to add value to the lives of others. Count your blessings each day and be thankful for the present, today, the moment.
