193 Thomas Blackwell

Thomas’ daughter died as a baby, which brought him and his family to their knees. He and his spouse knew they had a moment of choice. They decided that the victim (why me) mentality would not serve them. Instead, they chose the ‘what can I learn’ from this mindset. As a result, they found love and gratitude in life’s tough situations. Thomas shares these powerful nuggets of life wisdom:
– life happens for us, not to us
– speak in gratitude
– what we focus on, expands
– response to events determines outcomes
– we control 100% of our response
– people tend to act how you speak to them
– change your language to change your results
– there cannot be contention when love is expressed
– our words have the power to turn the night to day
– find the good in people and speak to them as such
– be conscious of what you tell yourself
– everything works out for your good
