GRATITUDE

It bears repeating.  Gratitude is everything.  Be grateful even for the scraps - if all your day has given you is scraps, be grateful.  
The Universe (God) builds on what is there and acknowledged and appreciated, it cannot build on what is not there, it cannot build on lack or a sense of lack.  (Paraphrased from Bishop TD Jakes "Save the Scraps" http://www.tdjakes.org/).
