Gratitude --> Success





Being content and happy goes a long way. Many of us have big dreams, goals and aspirations to fulfill. We have many desires that we focus on and continually think about. That is just how we are as people and as entrepreneurs. However, you must take caution in what you think about and how you think about things. It has been said that you become and you get what you think about most… so if you always think about success, if you always think about your goals and aspirations, then in some way and some day through your efforts they will manifest. As an entrepreneur you must always hold onto your vision, which should fuel your actions. This is very, very true.

However, a lot of the times when we think about our goals and desires we get discouraged, we may feel anxiety or we may feel outright negative because we haven’t achieved them yet. This feeling of negativity will negate your success. Remember that what you think dictates how you feel and how you feel dictates your actions, which dictates your results. So if you have a negative feeling about what you want but don’t have, then you may never acquire these desires. It is great to take action, but if your thoughts and your feelings are not in a positive place about what you want, then you may never achieve what you want.

So, the question then is, how do we stay positive when focusing on our desires? The answer is, don’t always focus on your desires. Focus on what you do have that makes you happy. So many of us when we think about or write our goals and desires focus on what we don’t have, and we never focus on what we do have. This leads to dangerous territory because this leads you out of the state of gratitude. Gratitude is the most important state to be in, in life. Gratitude leads to happiness, and with gratitude, you will receive positive outcomes. So for everything that you desire, you should think of something that you desire that you already have. For example, in the future I want my own family, but I also am so thankful for the friends and family I have today; I desire a great and loving relationship with my friends and with my parents, and I have this!! With gratitude you operate on a higher and more positive frequency, and that is what you attract.

We attract who and what we are, which is determined by how we think. So in order to attract what we desire, we must acknowledge and be thankful for what we already have. We must operate in a state of gratitude and happiness. Because good only comes to those who are good, and people are only good if they foster positive thoughts, feelings and actions. Now when you add love and passion for what you do, you will be unstoppable, for to be in a state of love, passion and gratitude is the ultimate human experience that brightens our existence. Try it.

Instead of fretting about what you don’t have, appreciate what you do have. Operate in a state of happiness and gratitude and see how far you get in achieving your desires!
