Back to basics

What is it that is basic to your life? The basics provide a foundation for succeeding while here on Earth. Your basic needs include having food, clothing, and shelter to sustain you through the day. Beyond that are the basic needs of love, connection, and support. Research shows that, without having physical contact on a regular basis, humans will fail to thrive. Everything else that enters your life is an additional blessing to be enjoyed. This includes a car, a membership to the health club, or a vacation to the Bahamas. All are wonderful to have present in your life, but not essential for you to be happy. You can begin each day by expressing gratitude for all that you have that fall into the category of basics. Then expand that to all the rest that the Universe has provided. This will set the tone for your day and serve as the focal point for what you will continue to attract. Whenever you start to focus on what is missing from your life, stop and remind yourself of what you do have today. The rest will come in due time. What are the basics that you are grateful for today?
