Without it (and there are rare cases of this), we would constantly be walking as if we were on a tightrope, never feeling safe even on the sturdiest of footing.\u00a0 Crazy, right?<br />\r\n<br />\r\nYou probably woke up today expecting that all six of these senses would work (if you\u2019re fortunate enough to have all six intact).\u00a0 I know I did.\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nBut what if, as Tony Robbins said, we traded this expectation for appreciation.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWe appreciate the smell of our morning coffee, of seeing the sunrise on our commute, of the warm water we feel in the shower.\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nTake a few minutes this morning.\u00a0 Jot down five things you\u2019re grateful for.\u00a0 It can be as existential as the Lord\u2019s presence in your life or as small as getting a good night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0 This is a habit that pays dividends in the long run.\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nAn attitude of gratitude is the name of the game.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nAnd if we learn to appreciate the many gifts around us, we will enjoy this life a hell of a lot more.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n\u00a0<br />\r\nThis post is from our new series, Daily Momentum.\u00a0 Each morning, we send a short, inspirational post via email, blog and podcast.\u00a0 You can get it\u00a0directly to your email here.\u00a0 You can\u00a0subscribe on iTunes here\u00a0.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/84060626-235a-42dc-9a40-a1eead6830e0/eAA1TPwy9oTcEamuijU4gpev.png"}
