THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

I want to talk about the most important thing that we all need to start addressing. The answer to all your problems.

GRATITUDE

I swear they should start having courses on this in college. It is a very simple concept. It is something we all understand and know, yet we do not exercise . We do not practice, and we do not appreciate . 

Gratitude in its simplest form turns what we have into ENOUGH. This day and age we are always striving for MORE, we are unhappy with what we have yet we think we will be happier with more of it. It is the greatest paradox in human history . 

For the last two months I have had my team write in our team channel 3 things they are grateful for each day. There are no rules. You can repeat things everyday if thats what you want, but you MUST contribute daily. The team was motivated by this in the beginning , everybody thinking long and hard , everybody contributing . By week 3 I started to see delayed answers and almost a forced way of thinking. This is the reason I have started this exercise. Just like anything else that is worth something, it takes time, effort and PRACTICE.  

Writing out daily 3 things you are grateful is not as easy as it sounds. That in its own is the issue. If you think about right now how lucky you are to be reading this message, how lucky you are to have been born in this era, to have freedom of choice. Its astonishing what we overlook. 

Gratitude is the antidote to evil . It is not how things actually are....but just simply as how we see them . Break a leg? Be happy it wasn’t both . 

I challenge everyone here to start their day with gratitude . Start writing down in the morning 3 things you are grateful for. Do it for a week and come back and let me know how you feel. I promise it will be worth it!
