Why Gratitude?

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

There is a lot bad and suffering in this world. There is little to nothing I can do about most of it. However, I can choose my attitude and response. Like many, my attitude and response is often less than ideal.

Over the next 30 days, I plan to post little gratitude challenges daily. Example – At least one day, I will challenge readers to pay it forward buy buying a stranger coffee or a meal. It might make you feel better and make the recipient feel even better. It would be wonderful if gratitude challenge participants posted about what they did so we can all share. Many find it helpful to to journal so write it down and see if your attitude improves.

Oh, and if the spirit moves you, hand out candy to complete strangers today.

One thought on “Why Gratitude?”

  1. An attitude adjustment is what I need today. I will be grateful we have the means to put my Dad in Assisted Living, instead of dreading this conversation about his need to go there that will have with him this week. Thanks for the reminder.
