Today's challenge is a very simple one. Simply read through this quote three times slowly. Unless you are a very slow reader, this should not take more than 5 minutes ;-) Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

Today you have a very simple assignment. Think of one person who has made a difference in your life. It could be someone from 40 years ago or from yesterday.

Today is the day to start a gratitude journal. Getting it started is your only job today. Whether or not you keep it up is up to you.

If you can't narrow it down to one, keep writing. Then let me know how many you came up with in five minutes. I think you might be surprised.
