Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. It can turn an existence into a real life, and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Gratitude makes things right.

It's so easy to look around and notice what's wrong. It takes practice to see what's right.

Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.

Today I will let go of my need for approval and my need to be liked. Instead, I will choose to like and approve of myself. The people who count (including me) will respect me when I'm true to who I really am.

Whatever we try to control does have control over us and our life.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

Let go of your expectations. The universe will do what it will. Sometimes your dreams will come true. Sometimes they won't. Sometimes when you let go of a broken dream, another one gently takes its place. Be aware of what is, not what you would like to be, taking place.

Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable.

---

Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.

---

If somebody rejects you or your choices, you are still real, and you are still worth every bit as much as you would be if you had not been rejected.
