During this time of year, we see many people being openly thankful for people and things in their lives.  This begs the question: are they also living a life of gratitude the other 11 months of the year?

Too many people take even the smallest things for granted. The key to improving results in both personal and business lives is to daily have an attitude of gratitude and view what is around you.  This allows each of us to have a higher impact on the people and community around us, to teach those around us, and to feel more content rather than focusing on the negatives.

Here’s how having an attitude of gratitude can benefit you:

1. Spiritual capital increases (appreciation for nature and its wonders, development of culture in your family and in the world, living your values)
2. Human wealth expands (building and enhancing the relationships with those around you)
3. Financial prosperity naturally follows #1 and #2 above

The next time you or those around you are focusing on the negative, take a moment as ask the following questions:

• Is there a positive impact or benefit when focusing on a negative versus a positive or is there something to be grateful for?

• What tools can be used to turn actions and attitudes around more quickly?

• How many things today can I be grateful for that maybe I didn’t have yesterday?
