Attitude is the fulcrum upon which lasting success and happiness are leveraged. Kindness and gratitude are universally appreciated thus making a positive attitude rooted in these virtues exceptionally beneficial to any individual but also to those within your proximity.
This passage from Charles Swindoll has been inspiring me and reminding me of the importance of a positive attitude since I was very young. I am grateful for his words and do my best to live by them every day. I hope they do the same for you.
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skills. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes."
Grateful Brand was created to serve as a reminder of the importance of being grateful, expressing this gratitude through positive messaging and acts of kindness.
Thanks for enlightening me! I am reminded: "it is not who you are that holds you back, it is who you see you are not"!
