Add Gratitude To Your Positive Attitude


Many of us live in a world of abundance and don't know it. There is a tendency by most to focus on what you don't have adverse to what you do have. When one really considers it, they would say that on general, their life is pretty good. I am amazed why so many people focus on what they don't have when there is so much they should be thankful for.
This is where the positive attitude bashers just don't get it. The life is great crowd are outpacing them all the way to success. I believe that success is directly tied to your wants and desires. This drives you to achieve your goals.
I believe Gratitude is the missing link in looking for more in your life. You are not an ocean unto yourself. You can not accomplish great heights all alone. You need others to help you get there. In most instances hundreds of people touched your life and helped you obtain what you now have. I suggest that you do not get it all yourself. Personal heights are achieved through collaboration, leveraging partnerships, motivated employees and relationships. You are likely the king spoke in the wheel of your success. I recommend you be grateful of those people who help complete the circle of the wheel.
I am personally 10 days through the book "The Magic" by Ronda Byrne. You'll likely remember her as the Author of best selling book "The Secret". The Secret was all about the power of attraction. In short, put out your desires to the universe and you will receive what you ask for. I feel The Secret came up very short on the fact that it missed telling you that you also have to take action. I am certain that many readers came away feeling disappointed not having found results. The Magic on the other hand is a step by step 28 day work book on understanding and practicing gratitude and how it relates to the power of attraction. I hope that you see the connection to 28 days as it is commonly know that it takes 28 days to create a new habit. I should also state that I am in gratitude for my amazing friend Bruce who suggested I read the book.
The Magic opened my eyes to the fact that I was only scratching the surface regarding gratitude. This is where it gets personal for me. I've been writing a gratitude journal now for several years. It's my little daily ritual I do at the beginning of every day. Each morning I write all the things I am grateful for including people who have enriched my life, material things I have and the blessing of being able to help others. This exercise helps me focus on the 95% of my life that is great and diminishes the 5% of life that bothers me. I can't wait until I finish the book in 18 more days to feel the full results.
It is my firm belief by adding gratitude to your positive attitude that you will excel at all you do and live a happier and healthy life. Add gratitude to your power of attraction and good things will come to you at warp speed. Successful people are attracted to people who have a positive can do attitude. That speeds up the process. In my world, a positive attitude enriched with gratitude is a hard asset. Start your journal today. Watch and feel your worries vanish. Take special notice of all the great new things that come to you and remember to express your gratitude.
