Does anyone ever wonder what the secret to being happy is? Or the secret to living a happy life? I have the answer (and I bet since you’re here reading this post then you probably do as well!).
It’s living a life through gratitude. Put more simply, it’s being grateful for what you have right now, where you are at right now, and knowing that life is only going to get even better from here on out.
If you don’t like the circumstances, you’re in right now, I realize that finding something to be grateful for can be extremely difficult and challenging.
But is it possible that to try and find some way to be grateful despite your current situation? Or to find the good in where you’re at or what you’re going through?
It literally can change your life if you start to see things from a more positive point of view; you will have more clarity on what needs to change, what can stay the same, and what lead you to this point in the first place.
And if you’re already grateful (or partially grateful) for your life and where your headed, then this challenge will only drive you further to pursue your passion or maybe it’ll just serve as some inspiration.
Whichever boat you are in, I hope you do this challenge and use it to literally challenge yourself, to live life fully and to never spend a day in regret because you CHOOSE to be happy, healthy, and content for the rest of your life!
Use this challenge as a framework; write down the answer to each prompt (which serves as a helpful reminder of all that is good in your life already) in your phone, on paper, in a journal, or a notebook for the next 30 days.
This will serve as a show of commitment that you are actively and consciously making the decision to be grateful.
Remember to close your eyes and actually feel the gratitude in your heart and soul before writing the answer as the feeling is more important than the task of physically writing it down.
