On this Thanksgiving Day, I want to remind you of the power found in thankfulness. No, thankfulness is not intended to externally change things immediately, but it is intended to internally change the way you see things instantly. You see, perception changes many things. And if it can change the way you view something currently going on in your life that isn’t a good thing, then it can actually change your outcome for the better. You just need to grab hold of the endless possibilities to start seeing change in your life. When this happens, it will influence you to begin moving forward.

This quality is learned, so it may not even be on your radar. But, the fact is that encouraging others is a special moment that can be part of each day that makes another person’s day better and that is enough to get excited about.
So, here are three things to think about when looking for opportunities to uplift those around you:
