Daily Focus:
The Magic of Gratitude
Quote:
“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and
give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward
is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”
- Brian Tracy
Question:
Are you grateful for the many blessings that life has given you or do you focus
on what you don't have? Are you grateful for the people who have added value
to your life? How often do you tell them?
Today's
Focus: Celebrate Life! Start today to
act on your promptings and let other's know how grateful you are to have them
as a part of your life. Why is it that we say wonderful things about people
who have passed on, yet we don't let them know how we feel while they are here?
We schedule time to work, to play, to pray, but never to say thank you. If you
would like to start your day on a truly positive note, one that carries you
throughout the day. Start your day by sending at least one card, letting someone
know that you value and appreciate them. Two people will benefit, the person
you send the card to, and you. I've been doing this for over 3 years now and
am always amazed at the magical things that happen in my life as a result of
this small act.
"Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we
hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we
have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else
or something more." - Brother David Steindl-Rast
Gratitude is not
only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others. - Cicero
“Silent
gratitude isn't much use to anyone.” - Gladys Browyn
“Gratitude is when
memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.” - Lionel Hampton
“As
we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but to live by them.” - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
