I really love this quote from Albert Einstein:
»There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.«
Which is your way? And what is miracle for you, anyway?
Is miracle something big, life-changing, profound? Is miracle some major event that leave you speechless or in awe? Maybe only winning the lottery? Or having a baby when you’re told you can’t have one? Your life saved in unexpected ways?
According to my personality types, my Energy Profile and even my Horoscope sign, I should have very structured, organised life, following rules and routines. But I don’t. I really don’t like following the same routine day in and day out. That’s why my every attempt to keep any kind of journal is a challenging task. And usually I just don’t so it:)
But desperate times require desperate measures. No, I’m not desperate. I’m just in the middle of manifesting our dream summer volunteering vacations (you can read all about it at www.family-pif-project.com and please help if you can). With some of the expenses already paid I’m doing everything I can and know to get all the costs, expenditures and little extras (for the sightseeings, attractions…) taken care of.
So one rainy day not so long ago I went shopping – on Amazon. And even I don’t know why, I bought the latest book from Rhonda Byrne The Magic (The Secret), which is actually a 28-day Gratitude Journey
I said to myself, OK, why don’t we try doing the exercises. I practice gratitude and I’m extremely conscious about it, but I admit I never actually wrote a gratitude journal. So I gathered together my family and explained the whole idea. And we started.
How do you treat little pennies and cents in your wallet? Do you think of them as a value or just a burden and heavy weight to your pockets?
In our family we have a beautiful crystal bowl, where we collect little bronz coins, worth 1,2 or 5 Euro cents.
Whenever we go to the store and we receive a change, there are few coins that we put in this bowl. We get them at the market, coffee shops… We even find them on the streets. And because we are putting them in the bowl, we never have the change, so we change bigger bills and we get even more coins.
Did you ever think about your own childhood? Back in our “old days”, we only watched TV before going to bed, we played on the streets, climbed the trees, we didn’t have helmets, seat belts, cell phones and many other things our kids have today. Although I totally approve safety precautions, these are not the only things that changed.
The whole economic, education and job situation is completely different. I still remember my mother got her golden watch after being loyal to one employer for 30 years. And you got the scholarship and job as soon as you finished your schooling. You knew your steps on the corporate ladder. Those days are gone.
How many people do you know that are still working in the field they studied for? I know many more that are not. Some because they chose to and some because they had to.
Coming back to your kids – Are you sure you know what future holds for them? Are you sure the college you chose is the right one? Are you sure getting a degree is the right way to get a job and live happy?
You know baby
I know alot of people are against you
All the ladies in the world
But you can do whatever you set your mind to do
Can’t no one stop you
Believe that
It’s time, now’s the place,
do your thing, it’s your world
Don’t be scared, its your world,
don’t trip, shout it out
You’re the bomb, don’t be scared,
its your world
Gratitude
is the Best Attitude
