I keep being reminded that there are many that help me and support me, and I should be grateful. ‘Gratitude helps you to grow and expand; gratitude brings joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around you.’ (E.Caddy) Isn’t it amazing that gratitude helps you grow? However, we do need to remember that ‘As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.’ (J.Kennedy) Words are easier, action takes more effort. One way of showing gratitude is by encouraging others. ‘One word of encouragement can be enough to spark someone’s motivation to continue with a difficult challenge.’ (R.Bennett) How will you show gratitude via encouragement today?

Are you a glass half-empty or glass half-full type of person? ‘The seventh principle of problem solving is believing there is always an opportunity. All problems create opportunities when you have the right attitude. If you look at a problem correctly, there is always an answer, always a lesson, and always an opportunity.’ (J.Maxwell) There are always two sides of a coin, and probably 6 sides to a problem. The challenge is finding the opportunity side, because doing that will allow you to excel and grow through the problem.

Solving #6: Idea #482
It’s important that we learn from our problem solving so that the next time it’s easier and quicker to solve. ‘The sixth principle of problem solving is believing there is always a lesson in every problem. If you approach a problem correctly, it can make you better and lift you up. When we fail, we only lose if we don’t learn. Next time you have a problem, find out what the lesson is and apply it to your life.’ (J.Maxwell) What lessons are we learning when we work through our problems?
