I have thousands of favorite quotes that help get me through difficult times. But I will try to share one at a time. I was out today and this picture was on a wall that caught my eye. I love what it says. So I am sharing it for the challenge…. Begin each day with a grateful heart. I am not sure who wrote this quote but I completely agree with each word.
We all have something to be grateful for. No matter what is going on in our lives, remember that someone out there has it worse. Trust me, it is true. Think about all of the little things in life. Being grateful for your health. Your family. Food on your table. And so many more things and people we may take for granted. So, despite your circumstances at the present time, try your best to start each day with a grateful heart, and think positively about what you do have, instead of focusing on what you don’t. I know it is not easy to do, I struggle with it a lot in my life. But it is a positive goal for me each day.
Beautiful , Carol, thanks for sharing ?
It’s funny how I find an old post, quite by accident and it’s just what I needed to hear. Thanks for always being “here” even 2 years later.
I feel happy every time I see you share your power to always be happy.
Morning motivation is very important because it shapes the day ahead
It absolutely does Bradley, thanks for your comment.
Wonderful and truthful words, Carol! Thank you so much for joining! 🙂
You are so welcome Ellie. Have a great day.
I love the quote, Carol. That is so true. And what a lovely challenge too, I shall read the rules and take part. Thankyou. =)
Thanks! It will be fun if you join the challenge.
Gratitude is the mother of all virtues, they say. If everyday we can find something to be thankful for instead of something to complain about, then we will have happier lives.
Yes indeed, I agree with you. Your statement is spot on!
Great quote….I agree with it as well! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Courtney, I have so many favorites.
The law of gratitude requires us to express it not only in words. Everyone can find a way to express their gratitude for action. It is enough not to confuse gratitude with flattery. One is sincere, the other is not. As Dale Carnegie writes: “One comes from the heart, the other slips through the teeth.”
You are right, sometimes our actions speak much louder than words. Great Carnegie quote.
My favorite quote comes from the late George S. Halas who used to coach the Chicago Bears who is quoted as saying “Nobody who ever gave it his best ever regretted it.”
Great quote, you should join the challenge and share!
I love this idea, and I certainly have a lot to be grateful for! May have to give this challenge a go!
You should join in Michelle, it will be great for all to read! 🙂
An often overlooked virtue of gratitude is that it keeps you from being an ingrate…
Absolutely it does Alex. And we all have something to be grateful for.
I have much to be grateful for
That is great to hear Alex!
Dunno if I got lucky, or am just honest about how much help I’ve got, but I have a huge debt of gratitude…
True gratitude is the power that drives the Universe. It is the power with which the master lives the life he creates. It is the power by which Jesus is walking on the water, by which he raises the dead into the living, which creates fish in the net and turns water into wine.
We all have our own belief in gratitude, thanks for commenting Branka.
