“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” Thornton Wilder

When was the last time you really dug deep and sought for the treasures that are in your heart?  Thorton Wilder

Treasures such as kindness, bravery, courage, compassion, unconditional love, individual worth?  Today, your challenge is to set aside 3 -5 minutes and look deeply at all that you are and name the qualities of greatness that you see and more importantly feel.  Set the stage for success by allowing yourself to quietly peer into your core.  Be prepared to write what you feel and honor in those moments.  You shouldn’t be discouraged or dismayed if only one or two words jump out — the more you practice seeking these words that define your greatness, the easier it will be become and the more you will see.

When you have finished this exercise, look at the words you’ve written on the page and pick one to focus on during the day.  And most importantly, as you complete your day, honor the moments you were that particular greatness, even if you felt a bit uncomfortable doing so.  Honor who you are… YOU ARE GREATNESS in a myriad of ways and each time you share your treasures with others you will get a return of 10 fold or greater.

Revisit this exercise of greatness frequently.  You won’t be discouraged because the greatness in you will continue to grow the more you practice and you’ll see more and more of who you are as well as see the greatness in others with more depth and beauty.  Begin today!

Today, I choose to be the greatness of gratitude. 

Make it a greatness filled day!
