I thought my life was starting to hit the skids. You know that feeling. It’s the one where you can’t do enough; you can’t do it right, you don’t get paid what you are worth, you have some new aches, nothing tastes good. Get the picture? Once you start down that path, it just leads to darker areas.
And then I found out that a friend’s husband suddenly passed away in their garage. Six months ago, he seemed healthy. Now he’s gone. My life didn’t seem so bad anymore. I had just forgotten to count my blessings.
Blessings are those unearned gifts that you receive every day. They aren’t earned; they are just given. When you stop to recognize them, your life feels fuller. There is one simple step to filling your life with blessings.
Stop and count your blessings. In a notebook by your bed, list three things that you received that day for which you are grateful. After a while, you will start to see the blessings. You will savor the unearned grace that is in your life that you didn’t see.
When you look, you will find. As a leader, you need to recognize the blessings that your team brings to you. When you start to see these as gifts and not underpaid dues, your leadership will show their blessings.
Try this challenge: put a notebook by your bed for 30 days and then tell me what you have found.
