The Story Behind The Brand
I started Thank God It's Today Mindset from a newfound place of peace and acceptance. From a very young age I learned just how precious life is when my Father passed away. My Father's passing took me to a deep dark place that was unimaginable for me, and I did my best to hide my sadness with a smile. Sadly, I was again reminded of how precious life is in 2016 when my big Sister passed away as well. I immediately felt a rush of grief overtaking me, not only from my Sister's passing, but from the unresolved emotions of my Father's passing. I slowly started to feel myself going back into that familiar deep dark place and I wanted to do everything I could to not allow that to happen, so I started to seek out ways to fill my mind with positivity. I started watching inspirational YouTube videos, watching shows like Oprah's Super Soul Sunday and I also started reading a lot of self-development books. These various resources began to provide me with the necessary distractions that I needed and ultimately began to help me create peace in my mind through understanding my emotions and accepting realities that are not in my control.
As I continued to watch videos and read books, I began to notice some recurring concepts. One of which was GRATITUDE. I slowly started to find ways to be grateful in almost any circumstance. Instead of asking God, why did he take my family from me, I started thanking God for giving me the honor of being able to call them family and for allowing me to be able to carry on their legacies. I used to say I lost my Father and I lost my Sister, but that isn’t true. My Father will forever be my Father and my Sister will forever be my Sister and I will forever be who I am, because of the impact that their lives had on mine.
The next important aspect of life that I was reminded about was the importance of FAITH. Understanding that my faith was the foundation for every other aspect of life and that through God, all things are possible.
Next was BEING PRESENT in every moment and to never ever take a single day for granted. Every day is an opportunity to add value to your life, spend time doing things that you enjoy and to value time spent with the people who make you happy.
As I started to implement these various concepts into my life, I began to feel better. I stopped focusing on what I couldn't control and started acknowledging and appreciating the blessings in my life more. Whatever I couldn't control, I put it into God's hands. As the 'clouds' started to open up, I realized that I was on the right track to improving my mental state.
As my day-to-day mood improved, I started to think of a way that I could remind myself of these three aspects of life into a simple phrase that I could use as a daily reminder, and that is how Thank God Its Today was born.
As I said the phrase, Thank God It's Today, a smile formed on my face. As I began to share this phrase with family/friends and saw smiles on their faces, I knew I wanted to share it with the World. So thank you to every single person reading this and for allowing me to share Thank God It’s Today with you, I hope you're smiling!
Always remember that everything in life can be viewed from one of two ways. One of which is from a place of Lack/Negativity, the other is from a place of Abundance. The question you should ask yourself is, which one serves you better? The choice is yours. As always, Thank God It’s Today
