This weekend I saw the new movie from Alcon Entertainment / Warner Bros. titled, “The Blind Side.” The movie stars Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron, and Kathy Bates, and tells the true story of Michael Oher, a homeless teenager who is taken in by a family and given a second lease on life. The lessons learned from this movie include the power on one person’s decision to make a difference in the life of another, and a reminder of how grateful I am for everything in my life. Give yourself and your family (and possibly your staff) a gift, and go see this movie.
During this season of Thanksgiving (Why is thanksgiving compartmentalized into a season?) take inventory of all you have for which you should be grateful. Remind those people listed in this inventory of your gratitude for the part they have played in your life.
How does one put something back into life? Can you change the world? Yes, and the best place to start is by giving thanks by choosing to make a difference in the life of just one person.
This time of year businesses send holiday cards to clients, customers, and vendors. Consider picking up the phone this week and calling your best relationships to say thank you, and ask how you can help them now and in the future. Translate your gratitude into actions. Thanksgiving knows no season!
One more thing; please allow me to say “Thank you!” to my family, friends, clients and readers.
Happy Thanksgiving!
