Gratitude is the way

Gratitude is the way to success in anything. Being grateful is always a choice you have and this page has content about being grateful.

Why Gratitude is the Way?

Gratitude is the way because the alternative is a miserable way to live your life. Think about it. The last time you were feeling down and unhappy, how much of it was a choice of how you responded to something that happened?

When you learn to look at events in your life as happening for you instead of to you, everything changes. And being grateful is how you begin choosing how you do this.

What If Being Grateful Is All We Need in Life?

Can the pursuit of happiness really be this simple? Just gratitude?

Do you think it can be? Have you ever tried it yourself? If you’re at all like me, the act of considering and thinking through these types of responses put you on a better path.

You might not be getting everything you want right now, but you’re probably getting what you need, right? Yep, The Rolling Stones wrote a hit song with a version of that line!

If you have kids, do you ever ask them to “make good choices?” My wife Jean and I do it all the time with our four kids. Even now that they’re all grown up. When you realize the impact your thoughts and decisions can have on your life - we were intentional about helping our kids understand that. 

What Might Happen if We Believe Gratitude is the Way?

If you believe that you become what you think about, and I do, why not give gratitude a try? What you might try is writing down there things you are grateful for that happened during your day before you go to bed.

As an example, I began doing this years ago and keep a little Moleskine book (Affiliate Link) next to the bed, take a few minutes to write down three things, and fall asleep with gratitude on my mind. Here’s a simple book I keep with the notebook called “Gratitude” that Oliver Sacks wrote (Affiliate Link).

It works for me, and perhaps you might try it, too?

In Conclusion

Discovering that gratitude is the way changed my life. I will continue to write on this site about it, because we can all use some gratitude in our business, too. Seeking humility is closely linked to gratitude and I write about that here.

Gratitude is one of my favorite topics to write about. As a result, the content on this section of makemarketingeasy.com will grow. So if you ever need a little boost, check back and see what’s new here.
