INSIGHT: Gratitude Part Deux

by | Nov 27, 2015 | Insights & Inspiration

Still stuffed? I am!

When gratitude fills me, I’m so much better at my jobs – all of them.

Yes, I’m still a little full of too much family and food, but that’s ok, because I’m also stuffed full of gratitude – for you and for all the wonderful people who are helping me, themselves and our world by bringing more power into their lives one choice at a time. I’m grateful for my family and my dog. I’m grateful for the Internet and Apple products. I’m grateful for an economy slowly on the rise. I’m grateful for the resilience of the human spirit.

This grateful optimism sees me through the challenging times of building and managing a business. It builds employee loyalty and business relationships for me that pay off financially and otherwise. It makes my life worth living and my business worth running. I couldn’t run my business or my life without it. Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m grateful that I still have gratitude to take with me throughout the next twelve months until I’m a bit too full of it again.

When in doubt, say thank you.
