Why are so many people unhappy? I was talking to a close friend the other day When he mentioned that it seemed like most of the people He came into contact with were unhappy Unhappy with their spouse, their children, their job And in a great number of cases, their life in general
After discussing this with him, it made me wonder If maybe the expectations have just gone way too high What happened to just appreciating a breathe of fresh air Or the scent of a rose in a garden
That is the central theme as to why I decided to embrace An attitude of gratitude mindset It is so easy to have lofty expectations that are never met
Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't reach for the moon Just to enjoy everything and be grateful along the way As I got older, I realized that it really is about the journey And not the destination
I do think that so many parts of your life come down to making a choice It is a choice to increase your level of happiness It is difficult and requires courage to change your relationship Change your job or change your life Gratitude will help give you the courage you need
Being grateful and writing in a gratitude journal everyday Keeps you focused on what you have It will make your journey so much more pleasurable And maybe a little happier too
