Perspective Will Come In Retrospect.

Much Of The Time, The Things We Feel Guilty About Are Not Our Issues. Another Person Behaves Inappropriately Or In Some Way Violates Our Boundaries. We Challenge The Behavior, And The Person Gets Angry And Defensive. Then We Feel Guilty.

Gratitude Unlocks The Fullness Of Life. It Turns What We Have Into Enough, And More. It Turns Denial Into Acceptance, Chaos To Order, Confusion To Clarity. It Can Turn A Meal Into A Feast, A House Into A Home, A Stranger Into A Friend. It Turns Problems Into Gifts, Failures Into Successes, The Unexpected Into Perfect Timing, And Mistakes Into Important Events. It Can Turn An Existence Into A Real Life, And Disconnected Situations Into Important And Beneficial Lessons. Gratitude Makes Sense Of Our Past, Brings Peace For Today, And Creates A Vision For Tomorrow. Gratitude Makes Things Right.

I Used To Spend So Much Time Reacting And Responding To Everyone Else That My Life Had No Direction. Other People's Lives, Problems, And Wants Set The Course For My Life. Once I Realized It Was Okay For Me To Think About And Identify What I Wanted, Remarkable Things Began To Take Place In My Life.

... I've Learned That I Have Many, Many Soul Mates Here, And They Come To Me At The Right Time And In The Right Place. They Come To Help Me When I'm Lost, And Each Comes With Different Sets Of Lessons For Me -- Usually, Always, My Most Intense Lessons -- The Ones My Soul Came Here To Learn.

I Never Know What The Next Lesson Is Going To Be, Because We're Not Supposed To Know -- We're Supposed To Trust Ourselves To Discover It.
