How to Win With an Attitude of Gratitude

You’ve probably already heard of something called a gratitude rock. I first came across the concept whilst watching the excellent DVD "The Secret".

The concept in a nutshell is that you carry a small rock, or some other small object, around in your pocket that whenever you touch (normally at the very beginning and end of each day) you devote some minutes of focused thinking around what you are grateful for in your life. Always open to new ideas I tried it and use it every day now!

Not only do I use it every morning when I put my clothes on and last thing at night just before bed. I also use it occasionally during challenging times throughout the day.

CAN A ROCK REALLY IMPROVE MY LIFE?

No. But your thoughts can. The rock is just the device. If a group of wise people said to you - every day at morning and night take a few minutes to give thanks for how blessed you are in whichever area of your life you choose - you would lapse. But with a rock - you can’t miss it. You see it at the end of the day when your pockets get emptied and you see it first thing in the day when you put your clothes on.

No matter what you are striving for in life always take time out to be grateful for what you already have. You and I rank as the luckiest 1% of people alive on this wonderful planet today - we have a roof over our head, we have the ability to learn, eat and drink clean water. We are given every chance to live to our 70s and beyond.

Think of gratitude as a way of constantly upgrading the size of your success-fuel-tank. Whenever you are thankful you make room for another tankful.

I strongly recommend you get your own "gratitude rock" and use it every day - best thing in the morning and last thing in the evening to remind you of what you are grateful for.

It can be the small things or the big things. Be grateful for your eyes, your hearing, your friends, your freedom, the last meal you ate or your ability to read this!

What you need to remember is that being grateful is not some airy-fairy, new age nonsense - it WORKS! The more grateful you are for the things you already have in your life the more you open yourself up to receiving more of those things.

Aside from everything else and all the benefits it brings you being grateful for the great things in your life makes you feel good and ultimately this is what you’re aiming for right?

I mean, yes, of course you want the fast car, the mansion, the money in the bank, the perfect partner etc. But really all that is behind each of your goals is the driving fact that you want to BE happy and FEEL happiness.

So why wait?

You can have the feeling of happiness right now by taking a couple of minutes out every day to give thanks for the good things in your life. It’s only when you do this that you start to gain a bigger picture of your position, see how the land lies and re-energize for that push forward towards your bigger goals!
