The Gratitude Journal provides fifty-two weeks of reflective exercises to facilitate your transformational journey and adopt the ennobling road for your own success. I had great pleasure creating the fifty-two images and integrating my motivational quotes, both of which set the tone for your journey to embrace positive brain chemistry. This empowering journal is a great companion to the #1 International Best-Selling Book, Ennobled for Success. This journal contains the opportunity to capture: (1) The week’s experience (1a) What happened (1b) How it impacted me (1c) Why I am grateful (2) The week’s self-reflection. As you begin your journey of gratitude, keep an open mind, become aware of your surroundings, develop the ability to see with your heart, and build the courage to be vulnerable to strangers. My life has taught me that a rickshaw driver in a war-torn country can teach a scared and angry little girl the value of listening. A sixth-grade Catholic nun can teach that same Hindu girl to unapologetically embrace kindness with courage and turn it into a superpower. An entire community of Indian slums and rural villagers can care enough to teach that lonely teenager the joy of servant leadership. Strangers can walk into a young woman’s life and teach her how to trust and build relationships that stand the test of time and distance. All this is possible only when we allow it to happen by being vulnerable. Ennobling is not the prerogative of the rich and affluent. It is a selfless gift that comes from a courageous heart of kindness and compassion. Step into your purpose. Embrace a life of being ennobled. As you take charge of your destiny and navigate towards your success, maintain perspective and find your inner joy. Keep the faith that the universe will rise-up to meet you because it is perfectly in tune with the energy you create around you.

Harmonized Life: Balancing Paid and Unpaid Work in A Functional Society
Work in a functional society is performed across its three pillars namely, state (government) market (commerce) and civil society. Family is the fundamental building block of society with workers and other stakeholders coming from their respective homes to engage across state, market, and civil society. Work-life balance is a traditional concept attempting to distribute time for paid work and life. This is a masculine construct that fails to consider the feminine contributions. A refractive thinker sees the flaw in this construct and understands that work comprises of paid and unpaid work that ought to be equitably budgeted with respect to time. Once the paid and unpaid work are addressed, then life ought to be harmonized with work, because balancing is not possible with disparate requirements placed on people based on their respective genders. Data shows that 75% of the unpaid work totaling up to 11 billion hours a day is carried out by women of the world while men focus mainly on paid work. In the absence of women and their work, life would be non-viable. Therefore, work-life balance needs to be replaced with harmonizing life, to balance the burdens of paid and unpaid work, including total contributions of women.

The human mind is a powerful instrument. Just like a knife, the more we use our mind, the sharper, agile, and resilient it becomes. An effectively developed mindset helps us set the tone for our life itself. Let us see what type of mindset you naturally embrace, at this moment.
1. If your glass is half empty, you embrace a scarcity mindset
2. If your glass is half full, you embrace an abundance mindset
They are both factually right at the same time. However, only one is your version of the truth. The scarcity mindset keeps you down while the abundance mindset set you free to fly towards your destiny while you shine your brilliance.
