Attitude Of Gratitude

It is easy to focus on what we don’t have, as we set goals we are working towards obtaining new experiences as we have yet to have this in our reality. I used to be like this when I was single all I thought about was being in a relationship and focusing on what was missing in my life, I compared myself to others who in my opinion seemed to have it all, loving partner, children, lovely home and all the trimmings. Yes I know this was not very positive on my behalf and this did not bring it closer to me, I just saw the ‘lack’ in my life my inadequacies and short-comings. No wonder my confidence levels were at an all time low.

With this mind-set how was I going to attract my life partner and turn my life around? Many people today live this reality they just keep wishing and hope things will improve without changing their thought processes.

Time to upgrade your attitude and feel rich and fulfilled in your current reality. Simply feel grateful for what you already have in your life, start this process each day when you wake up and feel good about what you have. Here are some ideas to get you thinking abundant thoughts.

• You have your health
• You have people that love you and care about your well-being
• You have choices
• You live in a democratic country, safe from turmoil
• You can do something positive each day
• You breathe fresh air
• You are free

I changed my life by simply being grateful for all that I had in my life and the experiences I chose, smiling along the way. Each day brought me joy in some small way or another.  I am the creator of my day and ultimately my happiness. I took ownership of this and didn’t expect others to fulfill me.

Today I smile more as I have created my perfect life, with my family and my career and I am just so grateful.
