Focus.

Artists focus on opportunities.

Artists focus on results.

Artists focus on being productive.

Most importantly focus on being grateful.

Gratitude is so important, being grateful for all you have and the abilities you have.

So often we focus on what we do not have rather than being grateful for that we do have.

Every morning as I drive to work I see the stark reality of the haves and the have nots, it is bought sharply into focus as I see families living out their lives on the street with little or no hope of any improvement to this existence.

I know I hear all the excuses and reason why they are there but they are human beings with the same hope and dreams of all of us for a better life for their family, but without a miracle or two miracles it will never happen.

The reality of what I see make me so grateful for all that I have and all the opportunities that I have.

Lets not squander our opportunities but focus on what we can do and achieve our dreams and goals and be the best we can be.

I cannot change the existence of others but we can all do all we can to be the best people that we can be and make a difference in our world. As we work hard on being better people so our world becomes better and the day may come where it improves for everyone and we will not see people living and existing on the street.

No amount of money we give will change there lot in life but we can change our world by being better people and make it a better place for all and that will help them in the long term.

I was once asked many years ago, “How do we fix the world?”

I said, “ That would be simple, if everyone would do the right thing that would fix it and do unto others as we want done unto us.”

Be grateful for all that you have and work hard at being a better person and making your world better, if everyone did it the world would be a better place.

Making me better, makes my world better.
