    Motivational Bookmark: Be Thankful Every Day

    Gratitude is the open door to abundance.

    Never reply when you are angry.
    Never make a promise when you are happy.
    Never make a decision when you are sad.

    Each day I am thankful for nights that turned into mornings, friends that turned into family, dreams that turned into reality, and likes that turned into love.

    Gratitude Rules

    D. L. Hart’s Gratitude Rules

    Gratitude is powerful. It can transform your life. It only requires a single step.

    You must focus your attention on all the things that are good and right in your life.

    Make the conscious choice to focus on the good instead of on the bad or shortcomings.

    Focus on gratitude and you won’t think about anything that is hurtful, negative, or painful.

    Live a grateful life. Your giving then becomes receiving. By raising another, you raise yourself.

    Find your gratitude in everyday things.

    Do something nice for someone who can’t pay you back.

    Stop worrying, and stop keeping score.

    Be grateful for things that did not go wrong.

    Be grateful for mistakes where you learn a lesson.

    Claim your power and happiness by choosing gratitude.
