Seeing my glass of life as mostly full
triggers an amazing cycle of transformation
Appreciation for the abundance of life incites gratitude -

Being truly grateful for the abundance that
is now in my life causes an ever greater abundance
to flow in my direction.

What can you do today to help create that world?
