I
realize that there are so many unseen heroes, helpers and everyday workers we
often forget.
I see our society
getting into the mode of always whining for more rather than valuing what we
have.
I wonder what would
happen if we praised rather than criticized.
I am open to all of
us shifting to believing and seeing, caring and sharing all the good we
receive.
Our
work for one another is an amazing gift of helpfulness.
With an appreciative
attitude, even more gifts will be given.
With thankfulness,
we will expand our capacity to give and receive.
With praise for our
children, neighbors, servicemen and women, we will are enjoy helping.
There
is an unlimited supply of Good within everyone of us.
If neglected,
rejected or exploited, the supply may diminish.
If respected,
praised and encouraged with inspiration the supply will expand exponentially.
Life is always
recreating itself in a positive way when we value what we experience.
Perhaps
it is time we take stock of our own ways of believing and seeing.
See the good and
Goodness expands.
See with criticism
and we cannot see or receive what is Good for us.
The habit of
appreciating will grow Goodness in our selves and our families, our communities
and nation.
Take a
moment to breathe and appreciate what you have, seen and unseen.
Be someone who says
and shows and acts with gratitude and respect to everyone.
Contribute to the
greater Good by valuing the Goodness in others around you.
Be aware of how
blesses we really are to have and do and be here now.
Creating
the Good I see, because I believe and appreciate the Good.
It makes me happy to
be openly grateful.
