Mahalo: A Daily Gratitude Journal 2018
A 2018-Specific Gratitude Journal (if you're interested in a journal for future years, lookup Mana'o Journal, which is a monthly journal that is not year-specific with daily food for thought).
If you wake up each morning thinking you didn't get enough sleep the night before, or that perhaps you're not pretty enough, rich enough, successful enough, healthy enough, or anything-else-enough, it means you begin each day with the mindset of scarcity, and experience every moment from a place of lack. But that's about to change!
We are creatures of habit, and by using this gratitude journal every single morning, you will not only stop viewing your life from a place of deficiency, you will experience abundance. Gratitude turns what we already have into enough. And that is the true definition of being rich!
From Timber Hawkeye, bestselling author of Buddhist Boot Camp and Faithfully Religionless.

I sat there in front of the Tibetan Lama, wearing my maroon robes after years of studying Buddhism and said, "With all due respect, I don't believe the Buddha ever intended for his teachings to get THIS complicated!"
My teacher looked around at all the statues of deities with multiple arms and said, "The Buddha didn't do this!" he chuckled, "The Tibetan culture did; this is their way. Why don't you try Zen? I think you'd like it!"
So I bowed-out of the temple, took off my robes, and moved into a Zen monastery far from home. I was determined to find a simpler depiction of the Buddha's valuable teachings.
My teacher was right; Zen was simpler (the walls were blank and I loved it), but the teachings were still filled with all the dogma that sent me running from religion in the first place.
There are many incredible books out there that cover all aspects of religion, philosophy, psychology, and physics, but I was looking for something less "academic", so to speak. I was looking for something inspirational that people today would not only have the attention span to read all the way through, but actually understand and also implement in their daily lives. I pictured a book called "A guide to being a Buddha" with only two words in it: "Be kind."
Some have even claimed that the short chapters in this little book are "too long". So to all of you who want to stop right here, let me leave you with one important message: Be kind.
As for the rest of you soldiers of peace in the army of love, welcome to Buddhist Boot Camp!
