Live Every Day With a Grateful Heart

Want to know the real secret to a happy life?

Be thankful.

Yes, it really is that simple. As the quote goes,

"Wake Up Every Day With a Grateful Heart"

It is pointless to complain about what you do not have in your current possession or even what you do have because you certainly have more than some people do. You could always have way less than you do now as well. You are lucky for what you possess. Be grateful.

Embrace the experiences you go through regardless of how negative they are. At the end of the day, no matter how miserable it was, you gained valuable experience and strength from the situation. Be thankful.

Enjoy the happy times. Cherish and value the little things and positive moments in life that bring you joy. It is easy to get caught up in wonderful and joyous moments but be grateful.

Most importantly, remember that those who are currently in your life are part of your journey for a reason and no matter what, be thankful for them. Make sure that they know just how much they mean to you on a daily basis.  Always tell them how much you truly appreciate what they do for you, the time they spend with you and that you are extremely grateful they are in your life.

It is understandable that time is valuable and the whirlwind of stress, careers and daily life gets in the way which may lead one to say there is not enough time to say thanks. I agree, our time is precious and these days quite expensive, however, taking a second or two to give thanks is free and rewarding. It can ease that stress and uplift your spirits. What happens when you run out of time before you reach that "tomorrow" in which you planned on saying all of your piled up thank-you's? You would never ever get the chance to tell those you care about just how much you cared about them. Just something to think about....

No matter what, be thankful and live every day with a grateful heart. It leads to a happier heart and a happier life.

This is something I live by daily and I hope many of you do as well.
