We keep hearing about the Attitude of Gratitude, but what does it mean, and what is an Attitude of Gratitude?
Attitude of Gratitude simply means “making it a habit to express thankfulness and appreciation in all parts of your life, on a regular basis, for both the big and small things”.
The most important question that then arises is why should you have an Attitude of Gratitude? Below are the top 3 reasons why:
Gratitude shifts your mindset:
Firstly, as your mindset shifts, things automatically start to happen for you without any additional effort on your part
Gratitude creates solutions:
Secondly, as you are grateful for what you have, and not “anxious” for what you don’t have, you focus your energies on the positive and negative becomes positive.
Gratitude is contiguous:
Lastly, like a smile even gratitude is contiguous, one person being thankful and appreciate in a family or a business setting, when you are gratuitous it spreads to others around you, and this positive energy quick starts to spread and infect everyone else around you.
As we enter the Diwali season, it is that time of year when sharing, caring and being thankful for everything we have is on top of the mind. The Diwali season, in particular, causes us to think about all of the special things in our lives and express gratitude for them. It is vital to 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. Always remember that gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
