How Being Grateful Can Help You Reach Your Life Goals

Taken from the HomeWorking Mom-to-Mom Memo I received via e-mail today

Today's inspirational quotes tell the magic of gratitude and how being grateful can help you reach your life goals.
"You cannot be grateful and bitter.
You cannot be grateful and unhappy.
You cannot be grateful and without hope.
You cannot be grateful and unloving.
So just be grateful." - - Author Unknown

It's easy to feel grateful when things are going your way.  But, do you feel grateful
when times are hard?  Do you feel grateful when the car breaks down... when you lose your job?

How you feel in difficult situations can frame your life. 

It's OK to get upset for awhile, but then be grateful that you have a car that will eventually be fixed.  Be grateful that your job loss could put you on a new a better pathway.  Your positive attitude will pay dividends.

Make a list of things that you are grateful for and review it often. Try to add to the list every night before you go to bed so that you will rest in gratitude, not stress or worry.

Still don't think you have anything to be grateful for?  This is what another unknown author wrote:
 

-If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are
 more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.
-If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
 over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent
 of the world.
-If you have money in the bank or in your wallet, you are among the
 top 80 percent of the worlds wealthy.
-If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly
 thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

When you live in gratitude, your choices will be positive and your life will improve in ways you cannot even imagine!
