Gratitude and Attitude
   In recognition of Thanksgiving, it is an appropriate time to talk about gratitude and attitude. These are two of the major ingredients to having a successful business and in your customer relations.
   Gratitude is one of the most powerful emotions you can experience and express. There are few people in this world who do not have many things for which to be grateful. If you live in a country that recognizes you are created by God and have certain rights given to you by God, you should feel enormously grateful. In the United States we are about to celebrate our gratitude for the success of many of the first people who came to our shores and built homes, businesses, churches and schools. Those first New Englanders knew they survived by dint of the efforts of their neighboring Indian tribes. Without their help the first Pilgrims would not have survived.
   Our nation has done more than survive…we have thrived. We have more reasons to be grateful than to be contentious. Despite the difficulties in our nation and in our world, we are all living better than anyone has in history. Most Americans live better in 2011 than wealthy people lived in the past. While we have problems now, we can overcome. This year give thanks for your life and everything in your life. If you have family and friends you are blessed. If you have a place to live, food to eat, clothes to where, and a place to work, you are very blessed. If you lack any of these blessings, you can live in hope that things will get better.
   In addition to feeling gratitude, it is time to examine your attitude about life and what you are doing. Whether things are great or you’re struggling, your attitude informs the quality of your life. If you remember to be grateful for everything good in your life, your attitude will improve, and so will your day. Even the pain we feel can teach us something and might be used to help other people live through their own difficulties.
   However and wherever you spend Thanksgiving, try to remember how God has blessed you, your family, and our nation in so many ways. Reach out to people in need and share some blessings with them. We all have something to give back to the world and not just this week.
Happy Thanksgiving!
