You want more from life. Good.
It’s right to strive for more. It’s right to want better health or more money. It’s right to want to be smarter and have better relationships.
But what about what you have now?
What if I told you that the first key to getting more is to express thankfulness for what you have now.
If you want abundance, you must first express thankfulness for what you already have. (Tweet That) | Share this Graphic on Pinterest | Share on Facebook

Do you want 2014 to be your best year ever?
Who wouldn’t? Who actually started out this year saying, “You know, 2009 was as good as it gets. I really can’t beat that.”
No one. We all want this year to be our best ever. And for next year to be better.
You may have seen Michael Hyatt’s course, 5 Days to Your Best Year Ever. He sells it for $197. But I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to spend $197 to have your best year ever.
Everything is at stake
Michael said something recently that convinced me to give it a try:
Everything is at stake by not seeking transformation now.
Everything.
And he’s right.
If you waste one day, that might be the day that changes your life. One missed opportunity might set you back a week, a month, or even a year towards achieving your goals. It’s time to do something different. It’s time to invest in your best year ever.

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
Genesis 2:2
It took God six days to finish his masterpiece, then he rested. That is a good model for us working as well.

Most people are really lazy.
Myself included.
Interestingly enough, it took a sign that I saw while shopping for a Mother’s Day gift last month to convince me of that.
The sign is true. If we actually did all of the things we were gifted to do...it would blow our minds.
Most of us want to live an astonished life.
We want to do all of the things we dream about. To change the world and do what we’re called to do.
We want to wake up utterly astonished at what is happening in our lives.
We want to be wide-eyed at what has happened, curious and excited about the future, and doing everything we can to make right now amazing.

Is your workload a status symbol?
A recent Harvard Business Review article entitled, Why Men Work So Many Hours, had a passage that totally floored me:
How do the elite signal to each other how important they are? “I am slammed” is a socially acceptable way of saying “I am important.” Fifty years ago, Americans signaled class by displaying their leisure: think banker’s hours (9 to 3). Today, the elite — journalist Chrystia Freeland calls them “the working rich” — display their extreme schedules.
