		<description>[...] More than anything else, being abundant is about how you see life. Some people may have everything but they still feel poor. Some other may have fewer but they feel abundant. You need to look at what you already have and be grateful for them instead of complaining for things you don&#8217;t have. Some people need to go through painful loss before they can appreciate what they have. Don&#8217;t let that happen to you. Here are some things to be grateful for. [...]</description>

		<description>Having an attitude of gratitude is so important.  One of the gentlemen (Charlie "Tremendous" Jones) I had the pleasure of interviewing for my upcoming book told me something that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

If you're not appreciative of what you have now, what makes you think you will be appreciative if you have more ???

Think about that.  That's a very profound thought.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Take care

		<description>Charlie,
It's true that point #1 doesn't apply to everyone. While we may live in peace, it's good if we can also think about those who don't and do what we can to help them.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;1. You live in peace

If you read war time stories, you will realize how terrible the situation was. Lives were lost so easily. Pain, suffering, and poverty were everywhere. That we live in peace is a great blessing. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I'm not trying to get overly political here, but I think if more people thought about the fact that the United States is currently at war and the individual reality of the servicemembers (and their families) and the reality of those at the other end of the barrel, then we'd see more of a push to figure out a viable exit strategy and to work towards not having a reentry strategy.  While we sit and are thankful, many voiceless others and their families live in this condition.  Be thankful, yes, but recognize that the "we" in question is not all of your fellow citizens, and the "pain, suffering, and poverty" is not in some far, far away galaxy.

I don't mean for this to be a rant or a finger-point, but it's sometimes hard for vets to feel comfortable extending the "we" when the "they" is not mentioned.  I apologize if I've offended anyone.</description>
