With the blinding walls of expectation and comparison in ruins G-d reveals to us the plethora of constant miracles around us that always were as when we are present in what is without drowning in what should be we open ourselves up to HaMakom (another name for G-d which means for lack of a better english word " The Place") the all encompassing reality of what could be

The Gratitude Masterclass

We all get up in the morning consciously or subconsciously with a "whats in it for me today" attitude and so we start our daily journey.However maybe we should started asking consciously and/or subconsciously " What can I do today with what I have and who I am right now to add value,to contribute , to shine my unique part of G-D's light without excuses no matter how much darkness I may or may not see.
We start off our day aligning our focus with gratitude to G-D when we say Modeh Ani.. as we should, having been granted a golden ticket of life in a new day.
We see in Modeh Ani...the word. emunatecha( Your faith, belief..for lack of a better word).The questions arises.. We are thanking G-D it should be "emunateinu" ( our faith , belief etc)..
G-d with unconditional love is telling us no matter who you are, or what you have done..I have "faith" in you ,confidence in you to make this,whatever you face ,a truly powerful day full of gratitude showing up as the best version of you at this time...So trust G-D without your hand on the stopwatch, G-D "thought "you were worth creating..and has confidence in you..no reason you should not
Noone can be you but you, you are thus irreplaceable.You are never too far gone to go far
Start your day not as a casualty but as a champion of your circumstances. Live Authentically ,Live Gratefully, Live Resiliently..you can always take it higher ..you have G-D within you
