I'M THANKFUL THAT I'M NOT A BEST-SELLING AUTHOR

Yes

You see I do not have to worry 

that my next book won't outsell 

my last one

nor do I have to continue a series 

of which I've grown weary!

I can roam wherever my imagination

 takes me at my own pace 

and in my own way.

The whole concept of weight training

is that our muscles grow stronger

by fighting resistance to them.

We achieve success after repeated attempts 

and failure.

The Snowflake Generation:

Young adults of the 2010s, 

thought of as being 

less resilient 

and more prone 

to taking offense 

than previous ones.

Resiliency is a key indicator of success.

 for we are made stronger

BECAUSE

of the struggle not in spite of it.

THE JOURNEY 

IS THE DESTINATION

Be thankful for the little things along the road in our struggle for whatever goal is in our sights. 

 Imagine all the small things you overlook because you’re caught up in the daily grind. 

The soothing sight of the season’s first snowfall, the joy of a playful puppy, 

a delightful birdsong in spring or 

the pleasant patter the raindrops make as they hit the parched ground. 

When it comes to life,

 the critical thing is 

whether you take things for granted 

or take them with gratitude

May you have more blessings today 

than you thought possible!
