Think Thankful

December 3, 2010 Written by Frances Schagen

Most successful people cite being thankful as having a huge influence on their ability to become successful.  Oprah credits her success to keeping a Gratitude Journal.  Warren Buffet said he tithed from the very beginning because he felt grateful for his abilities and opportunities.

Stopping and consciously thinking about all the things you can be grateful for puts you in a mind frame of opportunity.

Take time today and over the weekend to think over 2010 and all the things and people that make you feel grateful.  Write them down –  make a long list.  Let the feeling wash over you.
