Learn to Be Thankful for What You Already Have

I want to start out today with a question. Is thankfulness a survival skill? Perhaps most of you would respond with, "No, Guthrie, thankfulness is not key to survival," and I would tend to agree with you. Most of us have probably already solved the necessary problems of survival, gone beyond that, and are now working to achieve our desires. But let me give you this key phrase, "Learn to be thankful for what you already have while you pursue all that you want." I believe one of the greatest and perhaps one of the simplest lessons in life we can learn is to be thankful for what we have already received and accomplished.
