subject: FAITH * PURPOSE * GRATITUDE [print this page] Did you know that most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure. And that was due to the fact that they persevered. We must always remember to keep our thoughts at a positive level, because if you remember, you attract to your life whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to, whether wanted or unwanted. So we want to insure to attract the positive circumstances we desire in our lives by focusing and concentrating our thoughts on those things we hope for.
We all must take personal responsibility. We may not be able to immediately change the circumstances in our lives, the seasons, or the wind, but we can change ourselves. That is something we have charge of. We can beging to gradually change our circumstances by focusing on the type of life we wish to live and the ideal surroundings accompanying them. But we need to understand that these things take time, persistance and perseverance.
Faith - Let us always have faith in the things and conditions we hope for. Faith that all the things and circumstances we desire will be ours. Let us never give in to doubt or fears, about the outcome of our efforts. Believe that you will achieve your desired goals and put forth constant effort toward their attainment.
Purpose - Set your sights daily on a definite purpose and center your efforts unwaveringly upon it. Dedicate your actions and focus on the things you need and want and take the necessary action which wil attract those things and conditions toward you. "You attract to your life whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to, whether wanted or unwanted."
Gratitude. Be forever grateful for all the blessings of the day. No matter how things may seem at times, there is a blessing laying underneath every episode of our lives. Be grateful that you are alive and able to perform the efforts toward achieving your desires. Give thanks daily. Just remember that no matter how badly you may think things are going for you, there is always someone somewhere who has it much worse.
