Start with Gratitude
Quote: “Get ready to have a wonderful day. Let go of the past, you have a present… today”
While problems and difficulties are a part of life, each new day is a fresh start and a new beginning, an inspiring new chapter where wonderful things could happen!
If we truly begin each day believing we’ve been given a gift, life will never look the same again. The most incredible, magical, and wonderful gift is here for us today—it’s called the present!
Gratitude is the perfect way to open that gift. A simple morning gratitude practice helps you release yesterday’s worries and fully embrace today. When you take the time to count your blessings, your perspective shifts, and joy becomes the lens through which you see the world.
Quote: “Start expressing your gratitude, it’ll transform your attitude.”
When you actively express thankfulness, even for the small things, your mindset begins to shift. Challenges feel lighter, moments of joy become brighter, and your overall outlook moves from ordinary to truly positive.

Do all things with love
Quote: “So let love guide your heart, your hands and your feet. Make it a wonderful day for whoever you meet.”
How wonderful is it that we have the power to influence someone else’s life through our own actions! Even the tasks we sometimes find unpleasant can be approached with love and kindness.
When we focus on brightening someone else’s day, we often find our own day improving as well. Scientists have discovered that acts of kindness can positively impact the immune system—not just for the person performing them, not just for the recipient, but even for those who simply witness these beautiful gestures!
So, why wait? By acting from a place of love, you can truly transform the people and the environment around you.
One Choice Away
Quote: “It’s a very good day to have a good day TODAY. A much better life is ONE choice away”
Life is built on small choices. When you choose gratitude, optimism, or kindness in one moment, you begin moving toward a better, brighter day.
Balance
Quote: “Make sure to work hard on the things that matter most to you. But remember to relax, have fun and laugh a lot too”
Gratitude helps you find balance between effort and ease. Hard work is important, especially when it comes to the things that matter most, but so is rest, laughter, and enjoying the people and moments that matter most.
Keep It Simple
Quote: “It’s as easy as 1,2,3, keep things simple and I guarantee, you’ll feel happier, lighter, so peaceful and free.”
Happiness doesn’t have to be complicated. By keeping life simple—through small gratitude routines, mindful pauses, and celebrating little joys—you’ll feel lighter and more at peace.
Invest in Your Health
Quote: “Invest in your health, it’s your ultimate wealth”
True gratitude includes caring for your health—body, mind, and spirit.
Quote: “Let go of the things that trouble your mind. If they’re not helpful or hopeful just leave them behind”
Protecting your mind and letting go of worries that don’t help you move forward are powerful ways to look after your mental health.
Start with Kindness
Quote: “Don’t forget to be kind to yourself and to others today, even a little kindness can go a long way.”
Kindness multiplies. Gratitude grows deeper when you practice kindness, whether that’s self-care or extending compassion to someone else.
Life Is to Be Celebrated
Quote: “You’re alive, that calls for a high-five. Life’s a cause for celebration that needs no elaboration.”
Life itself is the ultimate gift. A gratitude mindset helps you celebrate even the simplest moments—sunsets, laughter, or being present with loved ones.
This is one of the core reflections explored in Count Your Way to a Wonderful Day, where each quote acts as a gentle guide for everyday living.
What to Do When Things Go Wrong
Quote: “With patience and determination most things can be fixed.”
Gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring problems—it means facing them with patience and perspective.
Quote: “Most problems feel smaller when you open up and talk. Most worries disappear when you go out for a walk.”
Talking, moving, and staying hopeful shrink challenges down to size.
You Don’t Have to Feel Ready… Just Start
Quote: “Don’t wait till you feel ready. Just go, you’ll be ready.”
Quote: “Make a plan and start, it’s the hardest part. But if you start small today, you’ll be well on your way.”
Waiting for the “perfect” moment holds you back. Gratitude reminds you that starting small today is better than waiting for someday.
Failure Is a Stepping Stone
Quote: “And when you fail it’s a chance to grow. Take the lessons along, get set and GO!”
Failure is part of growth. When you practice gratitude, even mistakes become stepping stones—lessons that lead you forward.
Appreciate the Beauty All Around You
Quote: “Find joy in the little things that are always around, when you look for the beauty it will surely be found”
Everyday beauty is easy to miss unless you stop to notice it. Gratitude is about finding joy in small, ordinary moments that are extraordinary when seen through thankful eyes.
Keep Walking Even When You Don’t Feel Like It
Quote: “Life’s path can be scary but you will be fine, if you do your best to keep walking when the sun doesn’t shine.”
Quote: “Just point your feet to where you want to go, and water the seeds you’d like to see grow.”
Gratitude helps you stay resilient. Even when life feels uncertain, moving forward with gratitude gives you strength and direction.

Try Again Tomorrow
Quote: “Hold on to the little wins you had today and try again… tomorrow”
Every day is a fresh start. Gratitude helps you celebrate small wins, release frustrations, and step into tomorrow with renewed energy.
“A guide to life through every today – Profound, fun, concise, day to day advice!”
