This weekend whilst going through my "to do" list, I realized that I was too caught up in activities and not taking the space for gratitude.

I realized that I was taking my health, family and love for granted, yet these are priceless gifts.

I decided that regularly, I will list at least 3 things that I am grateful for.

As I did the exercise this morning, two things happened.  Firstly, I felt an energy boost just writing them.  Secondly, I began to write about things that were hidden somewhere in my being.  I began writing specific things about my wife, parents and children which made me appreciate them at a much deeper level.

I realized many of my associates contribute a lot to my life.  My co-author Harvey McKinnon and his staff especially Katie Sheehan have been incredible!  Our Power of Giving team comprising of Nancy Huffman, Carol Ann Fried, Vicki Robinson, Tony Jordan, Abdul Pirbhai, Taz Esmail and Nadav give freely of their time and wisdom.  My brothers Mehboob and Shaffin and their families have been super generous.  I can go on and on!

I realized how many people in my life practice the art of giving!

How about you?

You may want to make a list of your blessings, if you have not done so in a while.
