ACTIVERAIN CONTEST: Defining Gratitude and GOALS

Posted October 31st, 2014 by Celeste Cheeseman

November …. In the Fall Season, leaves change colors, Halloween just passed, a bit of cooler weather after a long heat wave so we put on that sweater in chilly evenings. One may also think of the Thanksgiving Feast and a Day of Gratitude.

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN KELAN!!Regardless if we celebrate the upcoming holidays or not…. I know that 2014 will be coming to an end and I need to start planning for the year 2015!   I can safely presume that the one way to achieve this is…..POSITIVE THINKING.  I am grateful for what I DO have….and try not to focus constantly on everything I do not have.

 

Negative Thinking will only get me negative results.  Focusing on what I don’t have or not enough of will keep me stuck in that mode. If I choose to use the negatives as a positive then I can focus on what I need to do to MAKE things happen. 

 

POSITIVE =  GRATITUDE  /   GRATITUDE + A PLAN = GOAL  Sounds simple right?  Think about it……..If I have a positive attitude about about things I have (qualities) have it equals gratitude for things I DO have.  If I create a plan out of  something that I am grateful for then it equals a goal.  With a goal….ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!

 

Gratitude MEANS? 

How can I use gratitude to plan for success in 2015?

 

1)  Write about the following 2 topics (in 1 post).

            DEFINE GRATITUDE  a)  DEFINE GRATITUDE-  Pick an instance or a series of events that Defined  Gratitude for you.         (example in “Sally’s Story”)

             b)  How will I use GRATITUDE to Benefit Work and/or Personal Life?  After writing about     Defined Gratitude and think about how you can use these events for future planning…GOAL or GOALS if you will.  Business Plans, Personal Plans….we all need goals to accomplish something and GRATITUDE can be the base of your plans.
