Become Grateful

Bill FitzPatrick - Founder of the "American Success Institute".

Action Principle No.40>> Become Grateful, Life isn't exactly the way you want it to be. You will have your ups and downs and crosses to bear. You will have opportunities to practice holding your tongue and exercising patience. Yet, because you are focused on the larger picture, you will be able to keep everyday events in perspective.
Be grateful for all you have. Acknowledge and accept compliments. In the larger scheme of things, you may wish to be grateful for good health, a supportive spouse, a rewarding profession, obedient, healthy children, conscientious employees, prosperity, religious faith, loyal friends and even winning sports teams. You add and choose. Why not write letters to people in your life who have made a difference and thank them? You will both feel good.
When you can look forward and be thankful, you can help others do the same. Hold the burning candle from which others can light their candles.
Embrace gratitude.
