The Power of Gratefulness

 While listening to a podcast on Spotify of Ologies with Alie Ward which my sister recommended to me ( Thank you sis!! :)  )  

about Gratefulness and how Happiness actually creates success and not the other way around. <------ *Super important to take note!* 

HAPPINESS = SUCCESS         SUCCESS ≠ HAPPINESS

Also today I just watched a class with Renato Cardoso on Youtube about being grateful, even for the littlest things that seem insignificant. 

Being grateful for the time right now, everything we have right now.

Gratefulness allows us to recognize what we have, what we have achieved until now, and how wonderful things are with what we have.

And just taking a picture at the logic of gratefulness -

 

what does it matter to achieve or receive things we long for if we are not even grateful for what we have already received?

We must be grateful for what we have before we can be fully grateful for what we hope to receive

I wish I could tattoo this into my brain, 

A grateful attitude leads to Happiness and Happiness leads to success and not vice-versa!!

Spoiler Alert

My mind is so full of ideas! 

I just had to post this spoiler alert... 

so self-centered of me! hahaha

self indulgence is good every once in a while, like a little bowl of ice cream, a walk down the sidewalk breathing the fresh air, or just a simple pat on the back is good too 

I'm so grateful for these lightning bolt of ideas that appear to come out every once in a blue moon, but tint the color of life a lot more vividly

Sorry my notice and advice may not make much sense right now, there is very good reason in my excitement.

The tiny things count!

Authenticity

Authenticity - 

Don't let other's superficial opinions or doubts interfere with your natural talents and discovering your authentic self. 

You are here on this earth and you are who you are because no one else can do you like you.

So do the Creator, the universe, the world, your community and yourself a favor ... find your real talents & practice them, pursue them appropriately with pure joy, gratefulness, and full heart. 

Do what you know best, and the rest will come naturally as you are going along your way, doing only what you can do, being the you that only you can be. 😊♥️
