Focus Friday: Gratitude

September 11th, 2009 Stacie Mahoe 3 comments

I strongly believe that your attitude and what you focus on greatly affects your success (or lack thereof) in any area of life.  Therefore, for this Focus Friday, you are going to practice an attitude of gratitude and focus on the POSITIVE in your world.

So – simple exercise that you will do right here.  Leave a comment and list 5 things that you are thankful for or happy about on this beautiful Friday.

Here are mine:

  1. My family and the day I will be spending with them tomorrow
  2. Our beautiful weather
  3. My  good health
  4. The opportunity to blog about something I love (softball!) and have people who actually read it ;)
  5. Being able to share information and resources that HELP others!

What are your 5?  Leave a comment below and share!

I think my favorite out of this bunch is the first. Too many people let failures get them down. Just because they tried something that failed, they think they ARE a failure. But even very, very successful people have had failures in their lives. They just kept getting up instead of allowing their failure to bring them down!
