Heroes Not Zombies

In the A to Z of Becoming, T stands for Thanks.

I’ve written about the value of gratitude journals before (here it is if you want to click through)

It’s strange but I think the things we value most in life are not easy to have if we set off to go and get them.

I’m thinking of happiness, health and love for example.

If you decide to go and find any of those things today I suspect you might do a lot of looking but they aren’t so easy to find. You can’t go and buy them in a shop. And you can’t go and ask someone else for them.

What you can do is create the conditions which makes it more likely they will turn up in your life. I think there’s a number of things we can do to create such conditions – certain choices we can make, certain actions we can take, certain thoughts we can think.

But one of the ways is through gratitude.

I’m saying thank you to YOU today.

Thank you for stopping by.

Thank you for reading these words I write.

Thank you for looking at these photos I take.

Thank you, most of all, for being the unique you that you are, and for embracing this journey of “becoming not being”.

There.

Already I feel happy, healthy, and loving.

Your turn.
