Thoughts of the day and movin forward to 2015
I have always believed that two of the most powerful words in the world are these two simple words: Thank you. Think about it, how do you feel when someone sincerely takes the time to appreciate you?
If you’re anything like me, you feel energized, you feel like your efforts mattered to someone, most importantly, you feel important. On the flip side, how do you feel when you are underappreciated or unappreciated?
Yeah, exactly.
The power of a sincere “thank you” cannot be understated. That’s why it’s one of the first things we teach our children If we really want to make the world a more positive place, let’s commit to giving sincere and meaningful appreciation to others on a consistent basis. Sincerely thank a stranger for offering you a smile and brightening up your day. Believe me, these things matter a lot.
If you did just one of the things listed above–just one–you would completely brighten someone’s day in a way that you might not even believe. In some cases, the positive effect of your appreciation could stick with that person for weeks, months, or even longer. And it is so easy to do too.
You can literally make the world a more positive place by refusing to withhold praise and by choosing to sincerely and meaningfully thank others.

Thank someone today.
In our busy lives, we don’t always stop to appreciate the good things in our lives Honestly, I cannot say this enough. Being thankful, and I mean really thankful, is a state that we should consciously enjoy every single day of our lives. It is so easy to forget this because sometimes we’re too busy to be thankful. If so, it’s time for us to change that.
Let’s be real–no matter what’s going on in our lives, we’re never too busy to brush our teeth each day, right? (I hope) If so, and if you’re short on time, why not use that time to focus on what you’re thankful for? If you’re not currently spending time being thankful each day, how much happier could you be if you focused twice a day, morning and night, on being thankful?
In case you need a reminder, there are a lot of things in this world to be thankful for:
Our kids.
Our significant others.
Our health.
Our homes.
Our inner strength.
Our positive attitude.
Our jobs.
Our car.
Our compassion.
Our friends.
Our freedom.
Our unique skills.
If nothing else, we can all be thankful that we’re currently above ground and breathing. Seriously, I’m challenging you to try it. Sure, it’s easy to find something for us to complain about, but enough of that tired crap. Let’s focus on what we’re truly thankful for instead.
To start, all that you have to do is focus on what you’re thankful for while you’re brushing your teeth each day. That’s easy, right?
Do you want to change the world?
Remember each day what you’re thankful for and say a sincere “thank you” to the world that you’re fortunate enough to enjoy those things.
