Nothing is an obstacle unless you say it is.
I lost a company. So what? It's just stuff. Can't take it with you.
We are so focused on the material aspects of life that we lose sight of everything else.
The thing is not to leave unfinished business; make every day count.
For me, giving thanks is a sign of appreciation and gratitude that also brings about a deep sense of peace.
Each year I become more mindful of being thankful for each life experience.
