Being grateful plays an important role to achieve any type of success you’re striving for in life. It starts by creating an environment for yourself that reflects the attitude of gratitude. The way you do that is by daily practice, and not just when you’re feeling good. In fact, it’s when you’re not feeling good that you need to make a stronger effort to apply this principle.
Some of the little things you can do to keep you focused on a regular basis can be as small and simple as minding your manners by saying please and thank you. Offer a smile to a complete stranger. Notice when others do kind things to you and show gratitude by actions or words. Leave love notes for family members in unexpected places like lunch boxes and under pillows.
“Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.” – Zig Ziglar
Encourage someone with a compliment. Keep a basket of little slips of paper on a table at home or your desk at work, write notes of thankfulness throughout the week and read them when having moments of not feeling good. Verbalize what you’re grateful for whenever you seem like complaining about life. Often times it’s the smallest things that can have the biggest impact on your attitude.
Putting these things into practice will help keep you on track with an attitude of gratitude and you’ll begin to notice how circumstances in your life start to change for the better. Having an attitude of gratitude is an essential part of your journey to financial freedom in order to get through the challenges you’ll encounter along the way. Take the time, make the effort…you’ll be glad you did!
