Gratitude is one of the most important habits you can ever develop.

As a business person, church leader, gramps, dad, and husband, I have been privileged to influence and encourage many throughout the world to have a greater impact on their world. Many people wonder and desire to learn how to be happy and successful. However, many don’t immediately realize that the first lesson they must learn is in gratitude. This may be puzzling at first, but I know that no other force but gratitude will empower you for true joy and success in life.

For many years, I have made a conscious decision to keep a list of what I am grateful for. I then review that list first thing every morning and thank God for each blessing on the list. There are seasons and circumstances that change, so I edit and update the list as it is ever evolving with the seasons. This exercise in gratitude has changed my life. Not only do I find myself being more appreciative, but I also find myself with greater joy and success in every area of my life. Gratitude is a practice that will forever transform your life.
