For the past few weeks, I’ve been posting about simplifying, clarifying and amplifying your life.
And, while there are lots of ways to achieve your goals, one of the easiest ways is also the most little-known to people: practicing gratitude.
Being grateful for what you already have helps you feel more abundant; while worrying about what you don’t have keeps you in a mindset of disappointment and lack.
Focusing on what’s good, what’s plentiful, or what’s improving in your world helps keep you in a state to receive even more of what’s good, plentiful, and improving.
It’s like you’re saying, “This is all cool. Aaannd…what else is out there for me today?”
It keeps you in a state of anticipation.
Watch for big things to be grateful for, like a phone call that up-levels your career, or randomly discovering your dream house before it actually goes on the market.
Also, look for little things, like finding a parking space near the entrance, or getting an unexpected refund check in the mail.
You’ll soon see that opportunities are hidden in every encounter, and that “unexpected” new relationships, happy coincidences, little conveniences and other forms of “good” routinely show up to make your life easier or more enjoyable—all of which you can be grateful for in the moment they happen.
When you meet each new day with the expectation that something amazing is going to happen for you, it keeps you in a state of grateful anticipation—dreaming of what you will have, while also feeling gratitude in the present for what you do have.

Don't settle for ordinary when extraordinary is within you.
Some days are just overwhelming, right?
But have you ever thought about putting a positive spin on these crazy days?
Have you ever said, “Yeah, reality kinda sucks, but I can still be grateful and positive about other areas of my life that are working.”
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from “The OolaGuys”—Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl, authors of the international bestselling book Oola—is that gratitude not only helps us stay balanced during life’s crazier moments, it actually brings about the support, opportunity, and abundance that keeps us balanced.
Gratitude fosters hope, help and healing.
But being grateful doesn’t mean you’re complacent or done with striving for a better life.
At the same time you’re practicing gratitude, you can still be reaching toward growth.
Are there parts of your life you’re satisfied with right now, but other parts where you know you need to grow?
That’s where I can help.
If you’ve been following my past posts, you know that I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy to bring my followers the Oola Lifestyle Framework via a 10-week coaching experience designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships and more.
The Oola Coaching Program is the formula I discovered that has transformed not only my life, but the lives of countless people around the world.
It’s a simple 3-step process that not only will help you define the goals you want to achieve, it will keep you accountable to doing those things every day that bring about the results you want.

Next time, I'll share a list of 5 “gratitude practices” that will give you some ideas that will help you to stay in a state of gratitude.
“Choose Happiness.”
I always smile when I see that on a bumper sticker or Pinterest. It’s such a quaint idea.
I mean, whoever talks about happiness anymore?
The news media doesn’t talk about it. Most coworkers talk about everything but.
And happiness has become such a vague notion anyway . . . seriously, what does it really even mean?
So, here’s what I know for sure . . .
Happiness is not something you simply find or that other people are responsible to give to you.
Instead, it’s something you choose on your own.
And making small changes like being grateful?
Well...that creates a shift in your outlook.
You can wake up every day and live your life, or you can wake up every day and let life happen to you.
Whether you drive the bus or ride the bus, it’s always your choice.
I’ve chosen gratitude, and it’s helped give me a new perspective on life today—as well as for the future.
I’m content with what I have, but reaching for growth, too.
Being balanced and growing—that’s real happiness to me.
Are you ready to be grateful while reaching for growth in the major areas of your life?

I’m here to help next year be a breakthrough year for you!
All month we’ve been talking about gratitude . . . being grateful for what you have in your life, while still working on growing in every area.
The reality is that being in a state of gratitude is something you practice over time. It’s a habit.
But how will you know when you’ve achieved true mastery?
How will you know that you can be grateful no matter what shows up?
Here’s how: when something bad—and totally unexpected—hits you and you think, “There’s no way anyone could be grateful about this”.
Consider the following…
• If you lose your job unexpectedly, could you eventually move into a new career that you’re even more passionate about?
• If you suffer a health challenge, could it actually be the incentive that prompts you to eat better, lose weight, exercise more and lead a healthier lifestyle?
• If the committee doesn’t choose you, is it possible that something better might come along that you’re free to do because you’re not committed elsewhere?
• And if financial disaster strikes, might it help you organize your finances and lifestyle differently so you end up living with less stress?
Being grateful in the face of hardship isn’t easy. But by working to make gratitude a daily habit, you can go through your day, and your life, with more optimism in general.
You’ll actually be more mentally prepared even if the worst does happen.
How else can you better prepare to survive life’s ups and downs?
Well...that’s easy: work on finding balance in every area by joining me for the 10-week Oola Coaching Program.

Let’s inspire each other! And be grateful even in tough times.
I’m here to help next year be a breakthrough year for you!
Have you heard?
In life, you don’t get what you want, you get what you expect.
I’d heard this principle from multiple sources, including from Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl, authors of the bestselling book series, Oola: Find Balance in an Unbalanced World.
As it turns out, expecting an awesome future AND staying in a state of grateful anticipation is super-important.
In fact, your expectations actually become a powerful force that attracts the opportunities, resources, and people necessary for you to achieve your goals and add new elements to your ideal life.
There’s even a universal law that says if you set goals and ask for things in a state of grateful anticipation—then believe they’ll show up—you’ll actually receive what you ask for.
It’s called the Law of Attraction - and gratitude boosts the law’s effect.
However, the Law of Attraction is not a genie in a bottle that you simply rub in order to get what you want.
You can’t just dream about the perfect life, then expect it to appear out of nowhere.
You also have to practice another important law: The Law of Action.
When you take conscious action toward creating the life you want, you send powerful signals out into the world that you actually expect that life to show up.
(After all, you wouldn’t be doing all that work for nothing, right?)
Be grateful for what you have now, but TAKE ACTION on getting what you want to be, do and have in the future.
Of course, I’m not here to tell you what your perfect life should include—it’s your job to make those choices.
But I do have a powerful, proven plan for getting there. It’s the 10-week Oola Coaching Program.
Whether it’s a more fulfilling career, a rock solid marriage, better finances, vibrant good health . . . or something else, I’d like to invite you to chat about how coaching works and what it can do for you.
Message me and we can jump on a 30-minute call to discuss it.
Or, schedule your complimentary call with me HERE.
