Gratitude is a beautiful thing. Makes the recipient feel better. Makes the sender feel great.

In my journal, I often express gratitude to the people who elevate/influence and inspire me. On crisp white pages, I honor my kids for all the gifts they have brought to my life (wish I could be half as amazing as them). I celebrate the musicians who fill me with joy, people like Dave Matthews and Shakira and Zucchero and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan as well as bands like The Chilli Peppers/U2/Mana/Piero Pelu. Love them all. I appreciate my teammates who leave their homes each morning to help me share my message with people and organizations around the world ready to reach world-class. And I thank those who have believed in me and helped me along the way.

We all have a lot more blessings in our life than we know. It's human nature to focus on what's not working rather than to embrace all that is. No matter how good - or bad - your life looks at this very moment, there really is so much (and so many people) you can be thankful for. And gratitude begets gratitude. The more good things you see, the more good things you see.
