Recently, I've been focusing more on my finances. I've been looking at how much money I'm going to make this week, and trying to see the abundance within the amount of money I have. I realized that I haven't been budgeting effectively, but I am grateful for the money that I do have.
For instance, I was able to pay for a $25 meal at a restaurant, $25 for gas, and $33 in admin fees to join an online marketing program. I also lent $100 to Janice and paid back $160 that I owed to my mom for my aunt. Additionally, I was able to spend $75 on clicks for a marketing website that I'm promoting.
Although I may not have enough money to spend on everything I want, I'm grateful for what I do have. It means that life has supported me, and for that, I'm thankful. I'm also grateful for my car, which may not be very luxurious, but it takes me from point A to point B. It has air conditioning, which may not work effectively, but I'm grateful to have it. I have gas in my car, and I'm able to get to work and back home. I even fixed the car on my own, and I'm grateful for the resources and knowledge that allowed me to do so.
Moreover, I'm thankful for my friends at work, who may not be close friends, but they're amicable and exchange good energy. I appreciate the lessons that Maya taught me today on how to pack items at work, and I'm grateful for her support and willingness to share her knowledge.
It's easy to focus on the negatives in life, but I'm reminded that there are good things and good people out there. I can find good people on YouTube or in my everyday life. Life is not always bad news, and I'm thankful for the good energy that is exchanged. By opening my eyes and focusing on the positives, I can see that life is supporting me, and I'm grateful for that.
