Saying thank you for all things that happen to us is useful for the present moments anxiety, but it only is truly useful in our lives, when we choose to personally take responsibility for what we have done to create the less than perfect situations we find ourselves in, and resolve (metanoia – a turning around) to be more aware of our thoughts, words and actions moving forward. Being present and aware in our thoughts, words and actions can disable our automaton subconscious reactions that create a downward influence in the world we live in.
Be a force for an uplifting influence in the world.
Key thoughts here:
Recognize our influence in our circumstances
Take responsibility for our influence
Resolve to change direction: metanoia
Practice being present and aware in our thoughts words and actions
Be a positive uplifting influence in our world.
Reality is Dharma 
Excellent thoughts for a new year! Thank you!
