"Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." William A. Ward
Did you wake up this morning with a "just another day" mentality? Are you going to work or school and just going through the motions, just waiting for it to be over? Or maybe you are passing up opportunities that could really be a blessing in disguise and you didn't even know it. Well, if any of these applies to you today, there is really only one thing that you need to do. You need to change your perspective. This new perspective should consist of three things, praise, gratitude, and joy. When you wake up in the morning, praise God that you are able to go out and enjoy another day, when you do this, your day, rather than "just another day," will be a day packed full pf joy. When you go to work or school today, praise God for the fact that you have a steady job or that you are able to get an education, and once you show Him gratitude, He will fill your day, not just with the ability to go through the motions, but the ability to have a day filled with joy. Lastly, when an opportunity comes by, instead of just walking past it and not acknowledging it, thank God for this opportunity and ask Him to guide you, and wherever He may lead you, whether it be into that opportunity or past it, He will fill you with joy, simply because you showed gratitude for the things that He has put in your life. God created your life specifically designed for you. He wants to see you enjoy it! He doesn't want to see you just going through the motions. Thank God today, and every day, for all that He has given you, and He will fill you with a joy that you wouldn't be able to find any other way.
