Do You Have a Gratitude List?

Posted on by John W. Tanner, J.D.|M.S.

Begin Each Day With Gratitude!

As part of my morning motivation ritual, after pouring a cup of coffee, I review my list of ten things that I am thankful for.

Can you think of some things you are thankful for? (How about the air you breathe? Or the ability to read this blog post?) What are some things you want, that you will be thankful for when you achieve them? Now blend them together…

Infuse Your Gratitude List With the Power of Visualization and Auto-Suggestion.

My personal gratitude list is mostly forward thinking – I visualize the goals I want to achieve and then express gratitude for having achieved them (the power of positive thinking). If you can dream it, you can achieve it! (At least that’s what I’m hoping to prove.)

My Gratitude List

10 Things I’m Thankful For:

  1. I am thankful that I have reached the top 10% of the most successful real estate agents on earth.
  2. I am thankful that I am wealthy in finances and have a very high quality of life. In fact, because iron over $5 million per year, I am able to give 90% of my income away in tithes and offerings, and other charitable contributions, and I live exceedingly well on the remaining 10%!
