Is Anything Going Right This Thanksgiving?

November 23, 2016 by George Karris

Despite all the things going wrong in the world, we still have a lot to be grateful for…

There are a lot of things that aren’t going well in the world, and as I periodically open my Facebook feed or read the news, I feel I am reminded of that to the point of creating some actual stress.

Yet there are many, many more things that are going right in the world.

Each evening I try and reflect on three things that went well during the day as a way to increase my focus on what is going right.

Last night those three things were:

  1. A really positive meeting with a former colleague that may have identified a new business opportunity.
  2. Reading sailing stories to my son until he fell asleep next to me.
  3. Light traffic on the way to work.

As you can see, none of these things is particularly monumental… but they are still small things to be grateful for.

I find, and research validates, that by trying to focus daily on 3 things that went well, I stay more positive overall.

Thanksgiving represents a day for us to be focused on these positive aspects of our lives, and to celebrate them with our friends and family.

I want to wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,

George
