Can Gratitude Make You Richer?

How Far Can Gratitude Take You?

I realized the other day that I completely forgot some of the really exciting things that were currently happening in my life.

WHY?

Because I was so focused on what I didn’t have and what wasn’t working in my life rather than what was. Coming to the conclusion that everything was broken had set in. Life sucked at that point

Until I took a step back and said to myself: “What is working, what do I have?”

The challenge was that “reality” was so different. Here is what I forgot about:

1. My wife and I had free tickets to the Cubs vs Sox in 2 days
2. I was hosting a networking event that night with 75+ people registered
3. I had just landed one of the largest clients I had ever landed that day

Wow! Did my “reality” change immediately. I was energized, fulfilled and completely happy. It released all the stress and anxiety I had and helped me move into a place of gratitude.  What that turned into over the next few days was a mindset and energy that found me 4 new perspective clients and a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

I imagine what would of happened if I would not have taken a step back and stepped into a place of gratitude to “see” all the things I already have.

So, I challenge you to be in a state of gratitude. Because you will:

See more opportunity

Have more happiness

Feel more confident

Find more wealth

Live life to it’s fullest

I’ll end with this quote:

If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.  ~Frank A. Clark
