Life Issues Pt. 3 - An Attitude of Gratitude
An Attitude of Gratitude. How important is this to you on your path to success? I sincerely believe that everyone should consider this simple but effective fact. Being grateful for the things you possess in life will make your journey to success more smoother. Gratitude wards off negativity and jealousy, which in turn makes you feel better about your self. Feeling good and positive about yourself makes you feel more confident in your abilities to succeed. I have personally use it to good effect and I can tell you that it works. So what if others are better off or more educated that you? Does this really make a big difference in your life? You should always give thanks for the little or plenty that you have because someone out there would like to be in your shoes. People will always be better or worse off than you and knowing this fact should make you more aware of who you are. Gratefulness plays a major role in your happiness, because it keeps you from being frustrated about what you don't have. The more you pay attention to what you have, the more it increases. And vice versa. That's just the hard cold fact. So what are you being grateful for today? Look around you and you will be surprised to find a few!

Impact of Positive and Negative Catalysts on Events in Human Lives Have you ever noticed what can happen if you just met a friend in the street and shared a cab? You are both in the cab, all is fine, you plan to attend a social function and suddenly your cab gets involved in an accident. The police comes and you are a witness in an unforeseen event. Per chance? Not quite. There might be an explanation. All people have vibrations emanating from their bodies. Some people have much stronger vibrations than others (as evident in the human aura) while others have energies very focused at a certain point in the human system (physical, mental or spiritual) and of greater strength than most. Such people are instrumental in attracting to themselves events of a positive or negative nature. As in the case of an earthquake that has an epicenter. I term such people as catalysts because that's what they are.

Just Another Day During a Messenger chat session the other day, I asked a fellow how his day was going. "S.S.D.D.", was his response. Start Your Day on Your Terms Most of us start the day like we're trying to catch a train. We wake up, grab a cup of coffee, look at the paper and listen to the news. We rush out of the house to make an appointment or deadline or to put the finishing touches on a project. From deadline to appointment it goes. When we leave work we have other responsibilities and obligations, and it doesn't end until we go to sleep, and for some it still doesn't end. We never do catch the train. We forgot one essential thing. We are the conductor and the train can't go anywhere without us. How Attitude is Everything "Most overnight successes are just plain lucky. Just ask any failure."
