GRATITUDE CAN BE YOUR SUCCESS MANTRA

Contrary to popular belief, gratitude begets happiness, not the other way around. According to Harvard Health, positive psychology research indicates that gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness.

According to Harvard Health, positive psychology research indicates that gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness.

 Gratitude is an emotion, not just an action. It doesn’t only occur when someone does something for us. It begins with gratitude for self: being thankful for anything you have in this life can create a ripple effect that empowers your entire day and helps you make the right decision. Gratitude doesn’t just have to occur when someone does something for you that you value – it could simply be being thankful for what you have in this life, being thankful for the moment you are experiencing right now, the good memories you have.

Feelings of gratitude can, in this way, allow one to cultivate the positive emotions necessary to fully enjoy good experiences, build strong relationships, and overcome obstacles. Gratitude is now being explored as an effective science to lead a positive and successful life.

 Many scholars and philosophers have appreciated the importance of gratitude in leading a positive and successful life. Oprah Winfrey is a prominent example of someone who has risen up from humble beginnings to be highly successful in her field and has openly talked about gratitude and its impact on her own personal life. Gratitude has been defined in many different, beautiful ways with some of the world’s most renowned authors, philosophers, and spokespersons.

 As an avid patron and follower of Bob Proctor, I have experienced this firsthand, in fact it has helped completely turn my life around. As I take on the responsibility of helping individuals find their way and their calling, by shifting their perspective in life, I cannot help but look back at a few precious quotes on gratitude from my favourite mentors that have stood me through thick and thin. I hope they help you and resound with you as much as they have with me.   I combined a list of some of my favorite quotes on gratitude, to help define this complex and wonderful emotion through multiple different perspectives.
