If you’ve been slow to show appreciation, there’s not a better time to express your gratitude than Thanksgiving Day.  Actually… anytime is the perfect time. That will be explained in the lyrics I’ll share in awhile.

Before we get to that, stop procrastinating and think about who and what you should be grateful for…now.

Who do you appreciate?

  • Family?
  • Friends?
  • Teachers?
  • Mentors?
  • Spiritual and/or religious leaders?
  • Authors?
  • Motivational Inspirational speakers?
  • Entertainment professionals?
  • Healthcare professionals?
  • Your income providers?
  • Inventors?
  • Retail workers who help you?
  • Maintenance people who do repairs for you?

Think about people you encounter in your life. Can you give thanks to them?

  • Good food

I believe we all need a motivational inspirational tip sometimes, so I have a simple one to share with you now.  It’s one I’ve just recently started practicing.

Motivational Inspirational - Stand Tall

So here’s my tip for you:  Stand tall with your shoulders back, chest out and tummy tucked. Do it now.

How does it make you feel?

Go look in the mirror and observe how you look when you stand tall.

You look important.  Don’t you?

When you look important and feel important, you’ll be treated differently….treated better!

You’d like that. Yes?

Of course, you would!

To help you remember, here are some  lyrics for you from the song, ‘Walk Tall’ performed by Ziggy Marley and Paul Simon:
