AYD - Nov 18, 2014 - Pause for Grateful Identification

"Outside of love, no two things are more valued in another person than trust and loyalty."
- Zig Ziglar

Theme this week, keep it simple.
Assignment for today - start with Gratitude.
How?
Identify someone in your life you know you trust.
Identify someone in your life that gives you their loyalty.
Two people, one person for both, or lucky you to have multiple names.

What do we do with what we are given?

Pick the name you chose for trust.  Now ... You are given a feeling of trust.  Identify how that feels, and then ask yourself, "What does that give my life that I may not have easily identified with?"   

For example ... if you have a relationship with trust, you have no reason to be jealous, therefore you spend less time being insecure, you spend less time arguing over matters related to speculation from insecurities and questioning another person's motives or actions etc.

Now, we have identified what you DO NOT have to deal with in your relationship that has trust, can you see more clearly the values in that relationship that you enjoy everyday?   Lack of petty fights for example, maybe better communication.  Negative elements command attention.  Elements that bring peace are ... well, just there for you to enjoy on your journey.  So today, Pause for Grateful Identification, on the elements you get to enjoy.  The strong silent types. 

Put the negative junk on hold.  It will most certainly call back, but hopefully now, we are a little more distracted by something more worthy of our attention.

Good Morning,
greater day.
Greater you ... makes someone else thankful.
