Thursday, and Every Day From Now On!

This week we will be doing what you will hopefully be doing also: Celebrating Thanksgiving Day. There are many successful business people who will tell you that their prosperity and blessing is a direct result of their being thankful for the things that they already have.

We want to let you know how much we appreciate you. We appreciate your courage, determination, and drive. We appreciate your wanting to do whatever it takes to experience the freedom of being successfully self employed. We appreciate you pushing yourself beyond what you thought you were capable of doing and being. And we want to leave you with two gifts this week as our way of saying "thank you" for partnering with us.

Here is a poem that we want you to take to heart:

BE THANKFUL
By Author Unknown

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

And lastly we want to share a video with you. It is fifteen years old, but the content is as fresh and current as today's newspaper. Take five minutes and see what your neighbors and fellow countrymen are thankful for.

May you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving Day!
