- WHEN YOU GIVE, you open the door to receive more...
- Don't ask WHY? learn to ask what the LESSON is...
- Instead of complaining about a problem or circumstance, THANK IT for being there...
- GOD, help me to laugh, cry, love, be aware and be thankful with all my heart for every moment and each experience that I've been given. Thank you for my LIFE...
- GOD, thank you for the past. Help me LET GO with GRATITUDE, so that I can live more fully and joyfully now...
- Feel good about doing your part in helping YOURSELF...
- It's difficult to feel bad when we're feeling GRATEFUL...
- Find the GRATITUDE in your life, and you'll find JOY STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU...
- Comparison is JUDGMENTAL...instead of deciding if a situation is good or not so, just be THANKFUL for it---the way it is...
- GOD, help me use the powerful remedy of GRATITUDE as a tool for DAILY TRANSFORMATION in my life...
- Don't get angry when the time comes in your life to let someone or something GO. OPEN your heart to that person, place, or thing, and say, "Thanks for teaching me to love and helping me to grow." Then LET GO, without resentment in your heart...
- GOD, help me LET GO of my expectations and DELIGHT IN WHAT IS...
