An Attitude Of Gratitude Will Ensure You Achieve Your Dreams

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to have more of some things or everything than others? More fun, stuff, friends, success, money, influence, achievements, wisdom, peace, harmony, freedom, just to mention a few.

Why is this? During the years I have observed hundreds of people in all walks of life. As a speaker I am privileged to meet thousands of people each year in my programs. One thing I have seen is a wide ranging array of attitudes, feelings and beliefs. It is interesting to note that of the people I have met that have the greatest degree of peace, joy, harmony, life balance, friends and success (no matter how you chose to define success) are people who live with a great deal of gratitude in their lives.

Some of you might believe that you have nothing to be grateful for. Life is just –same stuff different day, or just a bowl of pits, or not fair, or whatever.

Here are a few things we have to be grateful for that many people take for granted.

1. Air to breathe.
2. Food to eat.
3. Books to read.
4. People who care about you.
5. Bodies that work.
6. Hearts that pump 2,500,000 a month.
7. Minds that can think.
8. Work that is satisfying, or challenging or contributes to our growth.
9. Friends who are there when you need them.
10. Pets who love us no matter what.
11. The right to believe what we want.
12. The ability to control what we feel and think.
13. Water to drink.
14. The ability to feel.
15. The ability to express love and receive it.
16. The ability to share with others.

There is more.

Why not add some and create your own – I am thankful for – list. Refer to it often. Refer to it when: you are feeling sorry for yourself, you have failed, been let down, lost your way, you feel like quitting, you are feeling good, you are feeling bad, you are sick and when you are healthy.
