Gratitude Is a Daily Commitment

Today is the day everyone likes to express how grateful they are for the life they have.

They're grateful for family...

They're grateful for friends...

They're grateful for how far they've come...

But the very next day?

They're back to complaining about their life as if everything they said before was only a performance.

The truth is...

If peace and happiness are important to you...

You can't confine gratitude to Thanksgiving and the times when it's most convenient.

You have to exercise it every day.

...and here’s the part most people never figure out:

Gratitude isn’t just about the comfortable shit.

Anybody can be thankful when life is smooth.

Anybody can appreciate the good times.

Anybody can smile when things are going their way.

But what about when they aren't?

All the people you see living a life of true fulfillment...

They're grateful for every part of their life.

...Especially the parts that most people avoid, curse, and cast to the side.

The pressure.

The responsibilities.

The uncomfortable conversations.

The long nights.

The lonely seasons.

The challenges.

The hardship.

Why?

Because they understand these moments are the forge that offers life's greatest gifts.

Resilience.

Confidence.

Self-belief.

Grit.

Fortitude.

...and every other skill that separates them from everybody else.

So be grateful and give thanks.

...but don't stop yourself short after today.

Gratitude isn't a holiday.

It's a daily commitment.

One that will change your life.
