As you read the following, consider the wisdom of St. Ignatius in that *“All is Gift”, even difficult circumstances.*

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for difficult times because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary because it means you made a difference.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. **Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they become your blessings**.

 Market like you mean it. Now go sell something.
