It made me feel satisfied because I’m opening up about my fears and I see that there are other people out there with similar feels.
Inspired.
I feel uplifted because I can read messages from others that I can relate to and they remind me that many of us have the same challenges it’s just how we react to them. So I want to thank everyone on this forum for opening up, showing your strengths and vulnerabilities and basically just keeping it real. It’s much appreciated.
I can relate to this comment! Seeing other people go through the same challenge you are having and seeing them fight through is truly inspirational! Thanks for sharing your insights April! I can totally agree.
Satisfied, I think my comment shed light on a real problem in today’s society.
It made me feel satisfied because I got to share my thoughts with the comment and express how I agreed and felt.
Showing gratitude in the previous post made me feel uplifted. I was able to relate to the post and show gratitude for her sharing her story.
Good morning! I started my comments on Thursday about Gratitude and yesterday being humble and hungry but got sidetracked. For Thursday I felt it was right on point because I find that the higher my attitude of gratitude is reflects the height of my joy. For Friday, simply put, those words are on a plaque on my desk.
Today’s is also right on point and goes back to the paraphrased quote from Oprah…”we have control over how we react to whatever happens in our lives”
As for our challenge for today
I am extremely grateful you Q for your quotes about discipline and trusting the wait, they uplifted me and set the tone for my month. Thanks to Oprah for reinforcing the power of the Serenity Prayer for me.
I am also thankful for Carl Sandburg’s quote about being careful with my words and the article Five Reasons You Should Speak Up” the wisdom of both were uplifting
Have a great weekend all!!!
I feel uplifted because to start my day off reading these nice comments gave me empowerment even though my morning has been kind of tough. I thank you all for commenting and helping grow this community and helping not just me, but other people. Your insights inspire me and help me look at things in a different way that I may not have seen before! Thanks you!
I feel inspired and grateful. I am so grateful for the community Coach Q is building here and that we can be honest and genuine in the comments. I am grateful that there are a multitude of perspectives and every person has their own individual journey but we can all help each other along the way.
That made me feel uplifted because I know that others have the same problem and it reminds me that I can do it.
Relieving, after I expressed my gratitude I took a deep breath… and smiled. 🙂
I feel satisfied because I realized some things I have in common with other people.
I felt satisfied, both because of the ability to relate to my peers and the accomplishment of being consistent with 1% every day, even if I had to find time for it at the end of my day due to my schedule.
People who love what they are doing in life will bring great rewards for them, not only perks, but the fact that you don’t think your job as a job but instead a fun day every single day. Gratitude is contagious no matter who they are, making the person more likable and comfortable to be around because of the positive energy that a person puts out into the world.
