The word grateful. Do you have an attitude of gratitude?

I can’t tell you how many books I’ve read about success. How many seminars I’ve attended or how many videos by the greats telling us the ‘secrets’ of success. And I’ve loved every minute of it, but I’ve had to learn how to separate the ‘fluff from the real’ as there’s lots of fluff out there!

There’s also lots of real.

But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, all ‘real’ lessons have a few things in common and I want to share my favourite one here, because it’s a main ingredient that makes the dish of life so delicious.

Picture this: You wake up one morning, feeling groggy and grumpy as you stumble out of bed. You‘ve run out of coffee, and traffic is a nightmare, it’s pouring rain and it’s just one of those days when everything seems to be conspiring against you.

Sounds familiar, right? Wouldn’t it be great if there was one thing that you could do that would help relieve all that?

Well fear not my friends, because there is. Its Gratitude. I know you know it. I know you think you have it, and I know you probably don’t want to hear about it again. But it's about to swoop in like a caped superhero and save your days ahead if you choose to take it on. I mean, realllllly take it on.
