First name / friend, Hey, welcome back to this month’s series on gratitude. Today, we’re devoting a few moments to the idea of starting simple and staying simple. Here’s the idea:
When we win big, experience incredible luck, or something wonderful drops into our lap, we should absolutely count our blessings. That’s like the icing on the cake. |
|
But today, I want to talk about the cake.
It’s the day-to-day experiences — the little life lessons, the intermittent ah-ha moments — that make up the basic ingredients of a good, rich life.
- Recognising that getting up early to fit in the gym had you awake at the perfect time to witness an incredible sunrise.
- Noticing how a string of misfortunes actually led you to a path of personal growth.
- Missing the movie you’d planned to see, only to be free when a friend needed a listening ear.

See how this ties in with the silver linings we touched on last week?
It’s about recognising the gems amongst the stones. At first, you might need a little help spotting them — but once you do, you’ll start noticing they’re everywhere. |
|
So here’s a little game for you:
Can you spot three gems from the past week?
*Extra points if they started out as a cloud and ended with a silver lining. Wishing you a gem-filled week ahead — and a life full of beautifully baked moments, cake and all. |
