Positive Challenge / Gratitude Sunday

I am extremely grateful to the innate gifts provided to me.

When I was younger they provided great frustration to me. It made me feel out of place as I had to adapt to the external world in order to fit in. I believe most of us, especially those who have an ability to think deeply, experience this as life is full of contradictions.

My inner spirit is kind, hard working, loyal, supportive and empathetic.

Now, I appteciate these skills and abilities.

I am grateful that I have experienced strain over the last 3 years, in particular, to exceed my normal cruising altitude and suffer the turbulance created by those who wish to undermine me.

It is harder to just sit on the fence now. I am in my experienced years. The lessons I have learned now rise to the surface.

Much like a lion must lead his pride. I must learn when to rise up and when to leave it alone.

I am grateful to this awareness.

To remain humble in my times of pride.
To embrace those that love me.
To forgive those who try to harm me.

Yes, to forgive. It is a waste of energy to battle someone who doesn't know better. Sometimes their lashing out is the only way they know how to express themself.

I am grateful for my spirit, my teachings, my life lessons and all the ingredients that make me, me.

May I be the best I can be. Find my centre. And rejoice.

And from @steemit I am grateful to my friend @tezzajw who got me onto the platform.

I am grateful to @teamaustralia who aid and abet me by boosting my posts for >growth.

I am grateful to Greg Mannarino @marketreport for first mentioning Steemit over and over again on his YouTube channel and for opening my eyes to silver & the manipulated markets & central banking system with their fractional reserve system - debt!

I'm @jagged
