"No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude."English Mathematician/Philosopher
1861 - 1947
Who have been your mentors? Who have helped you along the way? I believe we must from time to time stop and acknowledge those who have assisted on our journey through life. Most people start with their parents and move on to their teachers. My parents gave me a start by paying for my college education. I was the first in either my mother's or father's family to graduate from college. So I have much to be thankful for. And my teachers have been numerous, whether in the classroom or in books or in day-to-day living. And don't forget your children and grandchildren. They teach us parents so much. They help us to return to the passion of our youth. How about the person who hired you into your current job. They saw something in you that others did not. I could list hundreds of people who have touched my life from beggars whom I gave a handout to the Presidents of companies. And don't forget your neighbors. The person who mowed your yard when you were sick. The minister who married you. The banker who loaned you money. We have so much to be thankful for. Yet, how easily we forget and feel we have nothing. It is time to develop an attitude of gratitude. Give thanks today.
