And it will be the best vacation you ever had.
And the third thing is gratitude, is practicing gratitude.
When you practice gratitude.
It's so important because it goes against your natural tendencies.
We have a natural tendency to be,
ungrateful wretches all the time.
Our brains are wired that way as a matter of fact.
And one way to do that is to start the day, you know, you remember Norman Vincent Peale?
You know, and he would start each day, you know, with a Psalm.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice and be glad in it.
Yeah, it's great.
Give thanks for all the beautiful things that are gonna happen this day.
Be grateful for that.
But you know what else?
Say, and I'm also grateful for the things that are gonna challenge me this day.
These things are gonna be hard for me this day because I'm gonna learn and grow from those things.
So bring it on.
Wow, doesn't that make you feel good?
It makes me feel really good.
