How would you like to build a habit (i.e., a character trait) that would increase your enthusiasm, enhance self-confidence, help you to live generously, and increase your enjoyment of life? Sounds pretty great, doesn’t it?
So, what is this “magic” character trait? It’s pretty simple.
Gratefulness.
In each of our lives, there are things that concern us that we cannot change. Then, there are things we can influence but not directly control.
And then, there are things that we do control. One of those things is giving thanks (even when we don’t feel thankful).
Typically, we think about thankfulness around the time of Thanksgiving. But what if we started early and declared May to be a month of gratitude?
Jim’s challenge is pretty simple: get a notepad and write down a few things you are thankful for each day. Keep it up until you have 40 or 50 items on your list.
By doing so, Jim is confident that each of us will discover that we are wealthy beyond compare. Are you ready for the challenge?
