By now, you may have heard how important it is to have an attitude of gratitude. Do you have an attitude of gratitude? Do you focus on what you are grateful for each day? What are you grateful for? Do you have access to enough food, and do you have a roof over your head? Well, that is something to be grateful for. Do you have people in your life who love and care about you? How grateful are you for their love? Get in the habit of being grateful each day. Take ten minutes to start a list of what you are grateful for (Retweet This). Keep adding to this list as you focus on developing a solid attitude of gratitude.What Are You Grateful For?Fifteen months ago, I decided to try an experiment. I wanted to see how my life would change if I developed an attitude of gratitude. I began by focusing on the many things I was grateful for each day. By doing this, I was able to see clearly that I had a lot to be grateful for. I also started to see other people in a more positive light by focusing on many of their good qualities. My attitude of gratitude also helped me to quickly stop my negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. As a result, I am more peaceful.

“Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.” —William Faulkner
