Deep down all we ever want is to be happy.

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.” -Frederick Keonig

Appreciating what we do have is one of the keys to happiness and allowing your life to be the Masterpiece it was created to be.

Does this mean that you are always happy? No. But, more importantly it means that you  have the key to finding  happiness when you are feeling lost. It means that in any situation you can start to list the things that you appreciate and are grateful for. It will shift how you feel. Try it. Take a minute and say out loud or write down 10 things that you appreciate in your life right now. Notice how you feel when you look over your list. Then take a couple of deep breaths and notice how you feel again. Are you a little more peaceful? Are you a little less stressed? Are you a little less anxious? Do you feel more relaxed? If you are, then know that you are accessing the happiness within you. The beauty is, it’s always there for you to access when you are ready to open to it.  Try it. It works for me every time and I know it will work for you.

Prosperity Is Our Wish For You

We wish you a prosperous day. Some might ask “How is that possible in times when there is so much change and uncertainty?”. It is very possible and it is your birthright. Prosperity is a state that starts from within. It does not come from the “things” that surround you. “That’s what you think” you say, “you haven’t looked at my bank account, or my bills”.

I too have been there (and still go there) when fear comes up. What shifts the tide for me is when I can stop those thoughts, focus on the present moment (usually on the feel of something that is right in front of me i.e., my hand) and think of 3 things that I am so grateful for in my life. For example right now I am very thankful that I got to have dinner last night with a wonderful friend and my sister.

Prosperity and being prosperous in life is a state from within.  The road to get you there is gratitude.

Make a list right now of 10 things that you are grateful for and make a habit of doing it everyday. I play a gratitude game with my children and it goes like this:  “How many things can we think of that we are grateful for today”. Wow, are they creative! The interesting thing is that my children find money everywhere we go! And I don’t mean just pennies – $10 bills, $1 – it’s all over the place for them!

Here are 10 things I am so grateful for today:

1. My country – a place of freedom

2. My amazing husband

3. My children

4. My amazing friends

5. My gorgeous business partner – I love the freedom of being me and being able to instantly fly with ideas

6. My fully functioning body and the incredible ability it has to rebuild itself

7. The money that I do already have in my life as it allows even more to flow in

8. This journey of meeting and connecting to people

9. Being able to live and create my passion of transformation through Masterpiece Life

10. My parents having given me the gift of life.

Now it’s your turn to start your list.

Sending you love and wishing you a prosperous magical day
