Gratitude for where you are

You might feel like life has thrown you a curved ball, and it might be hard to be positive. Believe me I am in this position a lot of the time. Thanks to this blog I keep a positive outlook on life.

A positive outlook is key to getting up every morning, and so my advice to you today is to look at where you are in life and be grateful for it. It is often said that there is always someone worse off than yourself. Well it is true and it might not be who you think. Outward appearances can be deceptive, and hide a lot of problems. Just because someone apparently has no money worries, doesn't mean to say they are happy, or content. They might have massive other issues to deal with that you can't know about.

Life is good and precious, so when you hear about someone getting some bad news, help them out. You might not get thanked immediately; but it hard for the person you do it for to forget. True there are selfish people out there, who may continue to blank you when you do something kind for them. You can bet though that try as they might to forget what you did, they will remember it when they need help again. In the meantime, if they blank you, that's their problem, and so don't take offence.

If you can carry on without taking offence, people will be attracted to you, and want to work with you.

Doing things for others when they fall on hard times, or need help can be applied to a business footing. If you hear that a potential customer has had some bad news, send them a non business related message or card and they will remember you and your business when they might have some work for you.
