LEAD TO WIN No 17 : Thankfulness breeds success

"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation." --Brian Tracy
Great leadership shares a common trait: thankfulness. Leaders express the simple act of being thankful for their life, family, friends, business, colleagues, employees and country not only transforming their life, but it also changes everyone they come in contact with over the course of the day.

Even leaders have been guilty of allowing the busyness of the day to divert their thinking to the bottom line, making a profit and expanding the businesses. It's no surprise that the words busyness and business are so closely related in meaning and spelling. But leaders take time to be thankful for all they have and for all of those around them Being appreciative for the bountiful riches we all have produces a certain warm feeling that others pick up on. It's contagious. Great leaders have this aura of thankfulness and appreciation. Excerpts : The Business Journal, Intl. Web, author John Hersey
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful". -- Buddha

During tough times it's not always easy to feel appreciative and thankful. Even if things are going well for us, we all have friends, family or co-workers that are being negatively impacted in the job market or by today's economic conditions. Despite the negatives in our life, it's important to take the time to reflect on the positive things in our life.
  • How's our home life? Are we healthy? Is our family healthy?
  • Do we have good business and personal relationships?
  • Are we in a position to influence others and add value?
  • Are we appreciated by others? Are we appreciative of those we work (and play) with? Do we let them know that?
Let others know how they add value to your life, and as John Hersey says: "Thankfulness breeds success".
"Of all the "attitudes" we can acquire, surely the attitude of gratitude is the most important and by far the most life-changing.". --Zig Ziglar
