Truly one of the most inspiring things anyone can do for themselves is to find gratitude in their everyday life. Contrary to how bleak life may look to you at times, if you could state at least 3-5 aspects of your being with gratefulness, your attitude and outlook will shift.
I believe that Wayne Dyer was the person who stated: "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change".
Finding gratitude may be difficult to begin with if negative thinking seems to rule your life, or it seems that everything often goes wrong. Though beginning with saying "Thank You" for all the things that you have (that other people may not have been so lucky) is a great place to start. To have sight, hearing, the ability to walk, to talk, think, and the like are all good reasons to be grateful.
If you begin each day or end each evening with gratitude you will begin to notice how doing something so easy will have such a powerful impact on your life.
After a period of time of being faithful to this concept of displaying gratefulness, amazing things begin to happen with the way you think:
1) You will no longer search to find something to be grateful for, these thoughts will automatically embrace you.
2) You begin to see beauty around you everywhere you look.
3) You start to feel better about yourself.
4) You will find you display a more apathetic attitude towards other people, rather than a judgemental point of view.
5) Several other aspects of how you view life will shift.
Remember the importance of the statement that "we create our own life". Let's begin by taking responsibility for the way we think. So much information and thoughts go through our minds each day, that if we start to control "some" of our thinking, we will eventually be able to control a "lot" of our thinking.
There are several persons that get referred to as "Masters" of what they do. Oftentimes, these same "Masters" know the secrets of gratitude. They know that the thoughts they put out into the universe, is what will come back to them.
So begin today. Whether you just speak your thoughts of gratefulness in your mind, or begin to journal each day, (a very powerful method) things will begin to shift for you, and you will feel much more at peace with yourself. You will become your own "Master".
A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

It is the natural right of every human being to be happy to escape all the miseries of life. Happiness is the normal condition, as natural as the landscapes and the seasons. It is unnatural to suffer and it is only because of our ignorance that we do suffer. Happiness is the product of wisdom.

What Good Is A Rocket
That Fizzles?
The secret of getting your heart's desire is to keep your attention on what you want - on that idea or goal which caused the 'rocket of desire.' What happens to many of us is that after the rocket has returned to earth, we begin to observe reality; the way things are now. We focus on reasons why we don't have and probably can't have that desired outcome and effectively put the brakes on our 'rocket of desire'. Unless we can look beyond what is present today and picture ourselves as we want to be, we may never attain the level of belief necessary to receive the 'rocket of desire' as our new reality.

Choosing The Best Plants For Your Garden
Before planting out, place your chosen plants around the garden bed in their pots to see how they will look. Re-arrange them until you are satisfied. Grouping plants in sets of threes or fives usually looks better than planting in groups of even numbers. Be sure that you have an interesting combination of colors and textures of plants. Tall plants should go to the back, or the centre if your garden will be viewed equally from all sides. Try to keep your plants away from trees. The roots of trees are fiercely competitive and will steal all the nutrients and moisture meant for your flowers.
