Stop and thank.

One of the members of the CBO 12 group that Erik and I attend mentioned this as an important thing to do in business.

I have thought about this frequently since then.

I have thought about how hard it is sometimes to just stop. And I don’t mean stop in the same sense that most of us do at a stop sign (the rolling stop), I am talking about a full blown stop. I have been working on finding a quiet time to just stop and it has been much more difficult that I thought it would be.

Zig Ziglar recommends 15 minutes every day in complete silence by yourself. I certainly haven’t found that yet, but can imagine the positive effects it would have.

And thank. We all have so much to be thankful for. Jim Rohn says that being thankful opens up life’s doors and windows allowing all the good stuff to flow in. I personally believe that the “good stuff” in life (however you define that for yourself) goes where it is appreciated.

Take a moment today to stop and thank.
