Attitude of Gratitude! Project Wisdom SSMS News & Announcements Project Wisdom #14 Nov 20, 13

A few Words of Wisdom Good morning, South Seminole. This is Mr. Bess, Assistant Principal Charles Dickens once wrote: Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. It's often times easier to remember the bad things of life instead of all the good for which we can be grateful each day. Just think about it. What if you stopped yourself every time you had a negative thought, and replaced it with a positive thought . . . a thought of gratitude? Do you think you would be a happier person?

Take a few moments today to write down all the things for which you are grateful. Literally count your present blessings one by one, from the clothes on your back to the blue sky above. You may be surprised to see how much there is for which to be grateful. With something to think about, this is Mr. Bess. Make it a great day… or not. The choice is yours

Whole Group Discussion Why do you think human beings are inclined to focus on the bad things of life instead of the good things, on what we don’t have instead of what we do have?
