Gratitude

Written by cbte on April 12th, 2010

It’s not too often these days that we take a moment to sit back and think about all the things we’re grateful for. With a new outlook on life and a little help from Tony Robbins, I’ve decided to focus on the things I’m grateful for in my life, every day.

When you focus on what you’re grateful for, there’s no room for fear. There’s no room for feeling like you won’t be enough. There’s no room for doubting yourself. There is only room for being thankful. And being thankful is a beautiful thing. Don’t believe me? Try it.

I am so grateful for the important people in my life. I wouldn’t be the man I am without them. Every single one of them. I am grateful to have a well-paying job in a “recession.” Even if it’s not my dream career, they’re paying me a good amount of money for not much effort, and my coworkers are extremely warm-hearted people. I am so grateful for my job. I am also grateful for the things I love in my life. I’m thankful that there are things in this world that bring me enjoyment. Isn’t that something to get excited about? No matter how bad things could ever get, there will always be things that bring me joy.

If you are reading this, I am grateful for you. You mean more to me than you know, and I am honored that chose to read my words, when you could be browsing MyFace. I truly am.

Spend 15 minutes today verbally stating what you are grateful for. You will feel a new sense about you, and you won’t be the same.
