Give Thanks

On this Thanksgiving Day, I think it is important to focus on the subject of appreciation.  It is easy to take our lives and the positive aspects of our lives for granted.  In taking our lives for granted, we are overlooking aspects of the opportunities around us.  Speaking for myself, I count it a privilege to live in the United States, where regardless of the economy, opportunities abound to establish your own business and generate wealth.  As human beings, we are the only creatures with the ability to change our realities, with the power of our words, thoughts and actions.  Today I am thankful for opportunity and the skills that I have developed and will continue to develop, in order to take full advantage of those opportunities.  What are you thankful for today?
