One of my favorite quotations about life’s teachings comes from Thomas Carlyle, who said “Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.”

So, here’s what I’ve come to know:

Take care of yourself as best you can. Daily exercise, relaxation and nutrition are vital for optimal performance in every area of life. Do your best and don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

Love is what makes life worth living. I believe learning to love is the most important skill we can develop in our lives, and yes I strongly believe it’s a skill that must be learned. I think it’s the reason why we are born – to love and be loved.

Give until it hurts. That’s my motto and sometimes it does hurt – especially when others take advantage. But give anyway! Giving is the other part of receiving, and I’ve found that helping others always comes back to me multiplied.

Learn to be interested in others and their lives. Always look for ways to be of service and you’ll never be alone. You never know who you’ll meet and how your life will be blessed by your connection.

Have goals but don’t fall in love with them. Be flexible, as life is ever changing and your goals will change as you grow and your dreams evolve.

Learn to flow with life like a stream. Change is the only constant in our world, everything and everyone is in always in a constant state of change. Learn to flow with life, relax and enjoy the ride. Remember, “Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream…”

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.” ~ Meister Eckhart

Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations on the planet. It is a close cousin to love and comes spontaneously from opening your heart to love itself. The energy of gratitude is soooo powerful that it instantly opens your heart, and connects you to the Divine power in all of existence. In every moment you have the opportunity to be grateful for what is showing up. The real question is HOW to always remain in this constant state of appreciation, without having to continuously reboot and refocus your mind back on what you’re thankful for.

The secret to this answer is in increasing the general vibration and consciousness within your body. I invite you to take on my 24 Hour Gratitude Challenge to upgrade your life and start living in Gratitude-Ville! It starts first thing tomorrow morning before you get out of bed. You simply put on your “Gratitude Glasses” and begin SEEING everything in your life from this Grace-filled state. As you practice your new all-seeing “Gratitude Vision” you are strengthening your ability to relax and experience every moment as perfect and Divine. This causes your body to feel deep sensations of relief and joy for life, turning you into a “grateful magnet”!

Now, here comes the fun part! Wear your Gratitude Glasses all day long for the next 24 hours. No matter what happens, meet it with this new perception. By perceiving all experiences and events with joy, appreciation and trust you will jumpstart your inner gratitude engine. After 24 hours you will drop into an automatic gratitude vibration and have enough momentum to glide into another 24 hours, which will allow you to go through the rest of the week with ease and Grace.

“To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.” ~ Johannes A. Gaertner
