Give thanks!

Even though your morning may not have been productive, there
is still much you can accomplish in the afternoon. Even
though you've suffered some setbacks, there are still plenty
of options for moving forward.

Even though you may disagree with what someone has to say,
you can benefit greatly from understanding that person's
point of view. Even though you find yourself in difficult
and challenging circumstances, there is much value for you
to create.

Even though you may feel like quitting, you have what it
takes to keep going. Even though the goal seems far away,
every step brings you closer.

Even though there are plenty of reasons for you to feel
sorry for yourself, you can choose instead to renew your
determination and enthusiasm. Even though your path is
filled with obstacles, you can truly enjoy the sense of
accomplishment that comes from successfully moving beyond
each one.

Even though darkness may at times surround you, your light
can shine more brightly than ever. Even though you may
occasionally grow weary, there's always a way to renew and
re-energize yourself.

Even though the road has its twists and turns, the journey
is worth the effort. Keep going, keep growing, keep learning
and loving and living with all the richness your precious
life deserves.
