Everyday is the perfect day to give thanks for all that we have in our lives. I know some of you, may be thinking "what do I have to be thankful for?"

Many of you may have lost a job, or lost your home. Maybe you're experiencing a challenge with your health, or a relationship.

Regardless of your personal situation, I have yet to meet anyone who does not have something to be thankful for.

Especially if you feel you have nothing to be thankful for, you more than anyone need to give thanks. Why? Because the Universe is not going to give you more than you already have unless you give thanks and show appreciation for what you do have.

If you are someone who feels you have nothing to be thankful for, let me offer some guidance. Did you wake up this morning? Then give thanks for the gift of another day, another opportunity to make a new start and walk down a new path.

Are you reading these words right now? Then give thanks for the gift of sight, and the ability to read and understand. With this gift you can acquire all the knowledge you need to change your situation for the better.

Are you aware of any sounds around you? Then give thanks for the gift to hear; to hear the laughter of children, to hear the sound of birds in the trees, and to hear your favorite song on the radio.

No matter how small or insignificant you may think it is, give thanks for it. When you do, the feeling and energy inside of yourself will begin to change.

The more you give thanks and show appreciation for what you have in your life, the more you will find others appreciate you. The more others appreciate you, the better you feel about yourself, and the more you open up to the possibilities all around you.

The more open you are to the possibilities all around, the more possibilities will be open to you. Before you know it you will be walking through life with a renewed energy. An energy filled with purpose, passion and hope.

While there is no "wrong" time to give thanks, one of the most powerful times to give thanks is just before you go to bed at night.

Make it part of your bed-time routine to write down all the things that happened during the day that you are thankful for, as well as all the things you have in your life that you are thankful for.

It is a Universal law that what you focus on expands. You have a choice. You can focus on all the things you don't have and continue not to have those things.

Or you can choose to focus on and to be thankful for what you do have, and encourage the Universe to open up its infinite abundance to you. It truly is your choice.

So let me ask you, what are you are you grateful for?
