I can’t say enough about the power of genuine gratitude. Not only is it great for others to know you appreciate who they are and what they do, but it is just a good feeling to feel gratitude.
When most people think of gratitude, they think of saying “Thank you” after getting something or and polite acknowledgement of something. I’m speaking of a feeling, something that lasts long after the words “thank you” exit your mouth. I’m talking about walking and living in a constant state of gratitude. There are so many wonderful things in this world that we take for granted. This blog post has the potential to reach people I would have otherwise had no opportunity to speak it to because of technology. That is something to be thankful for! The fact that I don’t have to hand write this post is a blessing (I have very difficult to read handwriting). I have a computer of my own to make this post. That is something to be thankful for.
Throughout the day, name at least 10 things you are thankful for. It doesn’t have to be something grand or extravagant. Just see if you can feel gratitude in everything you come into contact with today. Think about what your life would be like if you didn’t have it and feel those feelings of gratitude.
