I will be honest – I mostly write this blog and do this challenge for me. This challenge (and other blog posts) helps me think about and focus on what is truly important. Don’t get me wrong, I hope it helps others. It would be great if thousands read these posts and were helped. But if only a couple of people appreciate the posts and put them into practice, I will count it as a win.
This is the fourth time I have done this challenge. Each time, I learn something new about myself. Each time I become more grounded. I firmly believe this challenge led to my life transformation in November 2020.
Willie Nelson said, “When I started counting my blessings my whole life turned around.” What a simple yet powerful thought. Focus on what you have and you will realize you have a lot. What blessings do you have in your life? Family? Friends? Health?
I think of the countless people who make my life better. Last night I had a Zoom call with three of them. We haven’t talked in a long time but it is wonderful, for a few moments, to get back together. I know my life is better because they are in it.
The challenge for today is to think of one of your blessings or more specifically a person that has blessed your life. Once you identify that person, write them a handwritten note expressing your appreciation for them. Place the note in an envelope, seal the envelope, address the envelope, put postage on the envelope, and send the envelope. The super ambitious will send two notes today. As you send it, think about how you felt through this process. I suspect you are in a better mood. Have a great day!
