Poor Dorothy Gale dreamt of a better place, where dreams come true and love isn’t far behind her. Somewhere over the rainbow she thought she could find all that she hoped and wished for. What she didn’t realize is that she already could make her dreams come true and she was already surrounded by all of the love she needed. She just couldn’t see it.
It certainly seems easy to notice what we don’t have and what’s not working in our lives. In this world of always wanting more, we may fall into a false sense of “lack”. It’s almost ingrained in us to be dissatisfied with what we have. Yet look around you right now. I would venture to guess that you have all of your needs met, right here, right now. Sure you wish you had a newly remodeled kitchen, or that your partner appreciated you more, or you had that new job that will bring you happiness.
Yet…
- How would your life change if instead of focusing on what you don’t have, you focused on what you do have?
- What if you focused on what you can give versus what you can get?
So how did Dorothy finally come to a place of gratitude? Thank goodness for her it was only a dream that she lost everything and everyone that she knew. After she woke up her perspective completely changed. Her life hadn’t changed at all; it was her willingness to see the goodness that always surrounded her and to acknowledge it.
- Who or what do you appreciate?
- What would you do without this person or thing?
- How can you express your appreciation?
- What can you give in order to celebrate what you have?
