I love inspirational quotes. They only take a moment to read, yet they can impart immeasurable wisdom on a variety of topics. For this reason, I’ve decided to include quotes as a regular feature of “The Healing Project.” The topics will vary, but I know that I will enjoy sharing some of my favorite inspirational [...]

As this is the week of Thanksgiving, it seems apropos to revisit the important topic of gratitude. I believe that gratitude is one of the critical ingredients for happiness! When we are grateful for what we have, we are better able to live in the moment and enjoy our lives.
No matter how many troubles we have at a given point in time, we can always find aspects of our lives that we appreciate and enjoy. This “glass half-full” type of attitude can help us to embrace what’s right in our lives instead of lament that which we feel is wrong.
As this is a holiday week (and hence, there is more to do in less time…) and I have written quite a bit on the topic of gratitude in the past, I have decided to highlight a few of my past posts instead of creating all new content for this week. The three posts which I have chosen to revisit all focus on the ever important topic of gratitude.

It was when I decided to change my attitude from negative to positive and to take charge of my life.
======================================
I made an important decision today which I know will be life-changing. It happened while on my elliptical machine reading a book which I’ve had for a year but only recently started to read. The book is called “The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die.” I was so excited when I bought this book last September, but I was too busy to read it until now, or maybe I wasn’t ready until now…
I turned 43 a few weeks ago, so statistically that puts me right at midlife. Of course, I have no way of knowing if I have 40 or 50 more years to live or only a few months. But even if I assume that I will live until 80 or 90 or more, do I want to live my life in the way I have been living it?

It’s hard to believe, but it has been 6 months since I started “The Healing Project.” My first post was made on February 3, 2010, and outlined my quest to heal my health and my life over the course of one year. My healing project utilizes the principles of Louise Hay and other teachers and [...]
