On this Thanksgiving Day... I began to think and ponder ... the thoughts of "being thankful"... and what REALLY motivates us ...  We can't be motivated by "fear" ... fear of failing ... fear of not being good enough.. fear of not pleasing others.. fear of the unknown.. We need to be motivated by gratitude and thankfulness for all things... things and circumstances ... as God does not make mistakes.. and shows us things through all things... and circumstances ... Sometimes we really don't know why things happen the way they do... but I've learned through many circumstances  in life... that worrying and concern doesn't really help the situation as we think it might ... We preoccupy our time, mind and thoughts with all what we think is going to happen.. trying to figure out why things the way they are .. and what on earth can we can do to change things but sometimes in actuality we are just running in circles... as the plan has already been set... He wants us to be the best we can be and TRUST in Him ... be THANKFUL  .. GRATEFUL and JOYFUL... for what we have ... 

I'm not sure how things got the way they are  ... we all make choices in our lives ... I find it extremely difficult being and living around negative people.. always seeing the doom and gloom in their lives and everyone else too.. God DOESNT MAKE MISTAKES .. and we are all meant and put in these circumstances for a reason whether we really understand or not ..Trust me I'm still working on this task just like everyone else .. It is truly a shame that people don't trust more and worry less... as these negative thoughts from people erode and poison others thoughts ... IF YOU LET THEM...  the key is to be very "thankful & grateful" for whatever things are and learn and grow from these life lessons .. Its an ever changing world out there ... and our gratitude is one of our strongest armors ... along with some positivity and ALOT OF FAITH ... 

KEEP THE FAITH ...
