Showing Gratitude
July 30th, 2010 | 
Author: Today, I want to share a few thoughts on “showing gratitudes” and how this might impact you, regardless if you are in job/career change or not.
Many of us focus on what we want to have and not on saying “thanks” for what we have already. And for many people, especially those who have been laid off, it’s difficult to focus on their accomplishments, the successes they have had and what they can be thankful for.
Each summer, I spend a few weeks off to reflect on how I want my business to grow over the next year, some possibilities for my life and to envision what I would like to experience over the coming months. This year, however, I decided to focus more on what and whom I have experienced over the past year.
Here are a few things I am grateful for:
1. I have the ability to breathe, walk, hear, see and touch on my own.
2. I have been blessed with a loving family and supportive friends.
3. I have clients that I enjoy working with.
4. I love partnering with my clients for their successes.
5. I have a career and business that I am passionate about.
I would encourage you to think about what you are grateful for. It might change your perspective on what you already have. By no means am I saying NOT to focus on the possibilities. I am all about possibilities. I am suggesting that we focus on things for which we are grateful and all the possibilities that we have in life. Just as I have suggested putting your vision and purpose out into the universe, don’t forget about putting out also what the universe has already given you.
Please share some of the things you are grateful for with me.
