You can’t be great, if you’re not grateful!
Let that settle in for a second…
Gratitude is the building block of every sustainable & successful individual.
Let’s put some context to that statement. It’s perfectly fine to dream big, and to want more in your life than you have now. An issue that arises is when you’re current situation (the situation that you are rising out of) becomes something that you despise, hate, regret, or just simply don’t understand.
You must remind yourself that, for the most part, elevation (of status, rank, finance, or even on a spiritual plane) is a process.
For the process to go smoothly, we must have some form of appreciation for where we are now….
That’s were gratitude comes into play.
Gratitude provides a graceful transition from struggle to success.
listen to Oprah talk about gratitude here, she’s awesome!
To be clear, you don’t have to have gratitude to become successful, it just makes the process SOOOO much easier.
You can be hateful or scornful of your current position in life, and let that propel you forward, but understand that whatever your end result may be, it takes where you are now to get you there. Easy to understand, but sometimes, very hard to accept…
Simply put, gratitude is grease, hatred is rust, and you are a vessel or vehicle.
So let me ask you…
How will you take care of your vehicle?
How will you maintenance its parts?
Will you fill yourself with the crippling rust of hatred?
Or the nourishing grease of gratitude?
The choice is yours..
