Too often we don’t take the time to appreciate and be thankful for the little things in life. Instead we tend to only notice the big things as they happen.
If we learn to acknowledge the beauty and blessing of both big and small things, and live a consistent life of appreciation, the Universe will keep a constant stream of things to appreciate flowing into our lives.

When you say, “I want that, or I have to have that,” sometimes it can get messy. But when you say, “I surely do appreciate that,” there is very little contradictory vibration within you. And you are much more likely to then use that as your excuse to allow what you’ve been telling the Universe, all along, with your yippees and yahoos, that you are wanting.” – Abraham-hicks

That’s all you’d need.” – Abraham-Hicks
25. “Trade your expectations for appreciation and the world changes instantly.” – Tony Robbins
