Living in Gratitude 

Being grateful is a challenge for all of us because it doesn’t come naturally to us. Therein lies the challenge. To have a grateful heart and overall thankful attitude, a person needs to be humble, unselfish, content, and be joyful in the journey of life. What does an attitude of gratitude really look like? Plain and simple, gratitude, thankfulness, gratefulness, or appreciation is a feeling or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive. Two of the main points I hope you discover is that gratitude is so much more than just positive thinking or having a positive mental attitude. The truth is, that being grateful is not always easy, and it does take some work as well. Another powerful reality is that your entire life can either be one filled with health, wellness, strength, and helping others, or you can be sickly, weak, depressed, and self-centered. It’s all a choice that you make.
