ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE BY STEVE RIZZO
In 2011, I spoke to a wonderful group of people at Northrop Grumman Corporation in Connecticut. On the way home the Limo driver asked me what I did for a living. I told him that I speak to groups all over the world on how to be happy and successful regardless of what their circumstances are. I knew I hit a soft spot because he let out a big laugh and said, “I always start my day in a good mood! Do you want to know the secret is?” Before I could answer he said, “Gratitude! I always start my day with an attitude of gratitude!”

Now I didn’t know this guy personally, but I could tell by that one statement that he embraced a most profound secret about happiness; GRATITUDE! It is essential that as soon as you open your eyes to start your day you put your attention on something or someone you are truly grateful for. And for those of you who are mumbling that you don’t have anything to be grateful for; WRONG!!!!!!

I cannot stress this enough, but I’ll try. There is always, always, always, always, and always something to be grateful for. Always! Sometimes you have to dig deep, but it’s worth digging for. When you discover it, feel it with your with everything you’ve got and then build from there. This is especially important at the beginning of your day. Feeling grateful and appreciative is the fastest way to turn your life around.

Gratitude is the most powerful connection you have to your higher self, God, the divine, Bob or whatever you want to call it. The point is you always want to keep your connection to this higher part of yourself. The stronger your connection, the better you feel. The better you feel the more creative and productive you are. The more creative and productive you are, the better you feel.

When you fully appreciate what you have in the moment, good things come into your life. Why? Because the gratitude bone is connected to the happiness bone, and it’s this fun little cycle that eventually acts as a magnet to attract the things you desire most, whatever they might be into your life.

1.     A BEAUTIFUL DAY
Is the sun out? Is it shining bright and giving you that beautiful rosy glow on your way to work?

That, my friends, is the first and foremost reason to be grateful—you know, unless you’re a vampire (in which case, twilight’s where it’s at)!

According to various studies, a degree of exposure to the sun not only reduces the risk of several diseases but also promotes the regulation of Vitamin D, a pro-hormone that stabilizes your mood and strengthens your bones.

2.     A STABLE WI-FI CONNECTION
We’re serious.

Can you REALLY go a day without checking your Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and email, or finding out the latest score, news updates, shopping sales and weather forecast online?

It’s officially 2018, folks! Having Internet access isn’t just a perk; it’s a necessity. You’ve got a stable Wi-Fi connection to thank for fast-streaming Netflix and all those super-smooth Skype calls and Facetime!

3.     FRIENDS
For all the times you needed someone to laugh with, to support your crazy shenanigans and to comfort you on a bad day, true friends always come through to support you in good times and bad.

Whether your best friend is a parent, sibling, high school buddy, partner or dog, you rely on them for your happiness. Take a moment to appreciate their presence in your life and celebrate the meaning of true friendship!

4.     HOPE
To believe in redemption, forgiveness and renewal is, in itself, an incredibly healing experience.

As long as there’s hope, there’s life. If you can remember that every single day, you’ll always have a spark that keeps you going.

Surround yourself with people who allow you to dream big and inspire you to be the person you were born to be!
