COMMUNITY CHALLENGE - ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
A challenge to the Steemit Community
Lets be happier and more successful!!
Gratitude is the #1 happiness activity
Thankful people not only have healthier relationships with others, but they also experience healthier relationships with themselves. Being comfortable with ourselves and thankful for the things in our lives that bring us joy leads to a more optimistic outlook. And optimism is one of the most important characteristics of successful people.
Gratefulness leads to success
The ability to be thankful for what you have achieved and to put challenges that arise in the proper perspective goes hand in hand with success.
Legendary author and motivational speaker Zig Ziglar said “gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.”
Developing an attitude of gratitude
From making lists of the people and things that make you feel thankful to shedding yourself of toxic relationships or situations, embracing an attitude of gratitude is achievable for anyone willing to try.
Intentional effort
In the book, “The How of Happiness,”our intentional activity is the most powerful change agent in our lives. Obviously we are born with certain characteristics, and life circumstances also affects our happiness. But the area of “Intentional effort” has the most power to change our happiness level. And according to this book, and many experts, gratitude is the #1 happiness activity.

Thanks for visiting, please follow, comments are free.
Every morning, even before we have breakfast, my wife and I read the Bible and pray. A large portion of our prayer is thanking the Father for His many blessings in our lives. We are also grateful to Him for sometimes with-holding the things we THINK we want. He does this because He loves us and because, ultimately and always, God is smarter than we are.
So there is never any end to the reasons to be grateful and certainly one of the things we are grateful for is steemit and people like @papa-pepper who led us to this post and has helped us in so many ways. Actually everyone here has been so nice that we cant get over it. Thanks for this challenge.

Thanks or visiting sis:) Papa Bear is amazing:)
Thanks to you too sissy! 😀 Yes you are right he is awesome!
The Lord gives, and The Lord takes away... blessed be the name of the Lord. I have seen what it is to lose almost everything and through the power of forgiveness and the grace of God, He gave everything back to me and my children. I am so greatful not just for the big things but the little things too. Not only having a house to live in or an in-tact family, but for this warm mug of coffee in front of me and calm mornings like this one...and creature comforts like electricity!! The list goes on and on. :) @paradise-found already read it but if anyone else who is reading my comment wants to know my story here's the link: https://steemit.com/family/@snowpea/wedding-day

We truly all have a lot to be thankful ans grateful for, but your life story demonstrates it on a whole new level!
It's feels so surreal sometimes!! Things could've gone way worse and do go worse for others especially in other parts of the world everyday... I can't help but say God bless America, her people, and her safety nets, (problems and all). :)
Yes my friend! I am all about spreading a positive message and inspiring more people to feel and express gratitude.
I recently made a post What are you grateful for today? where I mentioned that I'm writing down everything that I am grateful for each day (today is my 5th day) so I'll be happy to join this challenge.
Thanks for coming up with this and for inspiration! :)
Very interesting that you started doing like this anyway! That is a great attitude to have, being grateful and thankful!
Thank you!
It really is a life-changing attitude, I go by my day expressing gratitude for so many things that I often took for granted.
Thank you my good friend!! Wow!! You had already started!! Amazing!! :-D
Thank you for joining, please use #gratefulvibes!!
Yes and I'll be happy to share my gratitude here as well using your hashtag #gratefulvibes - starting today!
Yay! :D
Wow very nice. This is something we lack nowadays as social media has made life everyone's business.
We tend to look over our shoulder and compare what our fellow man has.
We look at our plate and to the plate of the person next to us and complaint he got a bigger piece.
We can't just be happy for someone else's good fortune and be content and grateful to what we have.
We want to live enviable lives worthy of an instagramable post. We crave for people to like and show how much we are better off than some people.
We forget to be grateful and happy as we always compare.
Thank you for this message of hope and gratitude.
Definitely worth a vote and follow.
Thank you for this awesome comment!! I hope you take the challenge for the 70 days!!
Please us #gratefulvibes!!
Let's spread positivity and some good vibes on Steemit.
Well done, Papa Bear!

tanks @paradise-found for the challenge ...
and @papa-pepper for their support for this challenge ....
bravo .. !! @jufni
LOVE THIS! Gratitude is something are family practices daily and very intentionally. I begin all prayers and meditations with gratitude. I've read from multiple success sources that being in a "state of gratitude" is what draws success to you. Today I am grateful for a fleeting Fall weather morning of 50 degrees. I'm grateful for my beautiful, smart children, and the third answered prayer growing inside of me. I'm grateful for the many sacrifices my husband makes for his family. And above all I'm thankful for all of the future opportunities I know are already written in the stars!
You are awesome!! thank you!!
I'm grateful for what I harvested today: 4 eggs and 4 flowers of saffron.
Our homestead is just beginning, but the first results are good, thanks God. Every one of our four chicken is laying one egg every day, and the plants are giving generous fruits too.
Thanks for creating this challenge and inspiring us!
