Get Your Key To Happiness

How Gratitude Brings You all the Joy You Can Handle

People ask us why gratitude gets its own section in the ReclaimU Phoenix Center. Great question! Because gratitude is the key to happiness.

Have you ever met someone who was happy who wasn’t grateful for what they have? No way! You can’t be happy if you are grousing and only focusing on what you don’t have. The only way to truly be happy is to have gratitude.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates vision for tomorrow. ~~Melodie Beattie

You can be happy with nothing, or with everything. You can be happy about reaching a goal, and you can be happy on the way to the goal by having gratitude for what you have and what you’re experiencing.

They say success breeds success, and we say gratitude breeds happiness.

How can you increase your gratitude and get closer to your happiness? There are many things you can do and here is a simple start. Each morning list 3 things you are grateful for. Before you go to sleep at night read what you’ve written in the morning. Let yourself really feel the appreciation you have for those things. Repeat each day for the next week and see what happens.

We invite you to share something you are grateful for at the ReclaimU Thank-fest. As our way of showing gratitude for all of you, we are giving away 5 Phoenix Center memberships to people who join in the Thank-fest at http://www.ReclaimU.com/thankfest.html
