Thankfulness – Value of Challenges

One of life's gifts is that each of us, no matter what challenges or disability we have, can find reasons for joy and thankfulness.

With a number of countries celebrating Thanksgiving this month, this gives us additional encouragement to live, demonstrate and believe in thankfulness, as I describe in: Demonstrate Gratitude and Embrace Thankfulness.

In this season of thankfulness we can learn a valuable lesson from the Struggling Butterfly Story.

As we go through and experience life, keep in mind that experiencing challenges is an important part of any growth. In fact, it is the struggle that causes us to develop our ability to fly. 　

When the butterfly was denied the ability to experience ordinary obstacles and challenges, the butterfly’s life was impeded from reaching its full potential. In most cases going through challenges, experiencing life changing events, or enduring other difficulties will help us grow personally and professionally, and we should be thankful.

Every day should be Thanksgiving in our hearts and actions.

• Be thankful for some obstacles and challenges in our lives’.

• Learn the value of re-prioritizing your schedule, to allow you to have time to spend with love ones, family, friends and new acquaintances.

• Share time and enjoy the companionship of others during this season of thankfulness.

How will you show gratitude and thankfulness?

Do you have any tips, or stories to encourage and motivate us to be thankful and show blessing for what we do have?

We all look forward to sharing thankfulness together and hearing from you.
