How you can give thanks

Each year I become more mindful of being thankful for each life experience. Often during my lectures when I talk about enthusiasm I tell the audience the only reason we need to be enthusiastic is to wake up. If you wake up, it's appropriate to say thanks.

Frequently we live our lives on automatic pilot, taking each experience for granted. We are so focused on the material aspects of life that we lose sight of everything else. One November morning I put all my business activities aside and spent two hours walking the beach and swimming in the ocean with my wife, Christine. Once again we were reminded how blessed we are to live in Hawaii. We observed the reflection of the sun on the crystal clear water creating multiple patterns on the sandy ocean floor, a school of fish who had no fears or worries and the unbelievable beauty of Hawaii. We found ourselves repeatedly giving thanks for the privilege of living in such a beautiful place; something we never want to take for granted.

For me, giving thanks is a sign of appreciation and gratitude that also brings about a deep sense of peace.

I have created a way that all of us can give thanks right now or anytime, for that matter. I invite you to visit my web site at http://www.wallyamos.com/inspiration then click on "CyberThanks". After you send your thanks, review the incredible list of blessings that others are thankful for. I guarantee it will make your day.

So, starting right now, be more conscious of all that life has to offer and say:

thank you!

thank you!

thank you!
