WHY IT WAS PAINFUL

SO MUCH SO THAT THIS HAPPENED

HOW I OVERCAME IT

MY OWN GRATITUDE RITUALS

• Morning & Evening

• Quiet moment – maybe driving or just relaxing

• Thank the spiritual being for opportunities to impact others’ lives

• Thank the spiritual being for another day of life

• Thank the spiritual being for the opportunities I experienced throughout the day

• Focus on the positive

REMOVED FROM THE PROCESS

• How could I have made today better?

• I don’t ask this – no sense in dwelling on what was and how it could have changed. It’s more about moving forward.

• Daily affirmations – “I am”

• I am confident in myself and my being that I do not use “I am” affirmations in my life.

MOVING FORWARD

•Blogging

• Talking about my experiences with others (including apprentices)

TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW YOU WILL BE MORE DISAPPOINTED BY THE THINGS YOU DIDN’T DO THAN BY THE ONES YOU DID DO. SO THROW OFF THE BOWLINES. SAIL AWAY FROM THE SAFE HARBOR. CATCH THE TRADE WINDS IN YOUR SAILS. EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER.
