Changing the word Chance into Change

The Life-Changing Power of Gratitude…I don’t know about you, but I’m grateful for the things in my life. For example, I’m grateful that my car still starts even though it’s a little rusty. I’m grateful that I have a job, even though it’s not always interesting. 

And I’m grateful that I have a bed to sleep in at night, even though it’s somewhat lumpy. You get the idea. So today, I thought I’d talk about the importance of gratitude in our lives. 

Because let’s face it, if we’re not grateful for what we have, then we’ll never be happy with what we get. And that would make life pretty darn depressing, wouldn’t it?

 How to practice gratitude every day…

I know, I know. You’ve heard it all before. But there’s a reason why people keep telling you to practice gratitude every day – because it works! 

When you focus on the good things in your life, even when they’re small, you open yourself up to more happiness and positive experiences. 

So how can you make gratitude a part of your daily routine? It’s simpler than you think! Here are a few tips to get started.  

“Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.” —Henri Frederic Amiel. 

Don’t be picky: you should appreciate everything…

Gratitude doesn’t have to be saved for life’s “big” things. The habit of being grateful starts with appreciating every good thing in life and recognizing that there is nothing too small for you to be thankful for.

Find gratitude in your challenges…

Gratitude is not only about being thankful for positive experiences. Sometimes thinking about negative or difficult situations can help nail down what you have to be thankful for.

Sit down daily and think through five to ten things you are grateful for. 

Gratitude is one of the simplest and most effective ways to increase happiness and well-being in your life. When we focus on the good things, no matter how small they seem, we open ourselves to more happiness and positive experiences. 

Conclusion: 

I want you to be as happy as possible, so I’ve devised a challenge. 

Ready?

 Every day for the next week, try practicing one of the techniques above. And if you slip up (because that’s bound to happen at some point), don’t beat yourself up about it! 

Just start fresh the next day and keep on trucking. Are you ready? Read more

Criticism Or Fault-Finding… the First Look!

JusMee

criticism and fault-findingWe all appreciate compliments. They make us feel good, and they’re a great way to start the day. 

But what about criticism?

Receiving criticism can feel like a personal attack, but it doesn’t have to be that way. 

There’s no denying that criticism can be tough to take. 

Nevertheless, 

If you’re able to appreciate and learn from it, it can be a powerful tool for growth. 

With this in mind—If you’re like me, you probably think of criticism as a four-letter word.

I don’t like to hear it, and I’m certainly not the best at giving it. 

Also, I’ve learned over the years that positive or negative feedback allows you to see yourself through other people’s eyes and can help you improve your skills. 

So the next time someone offers you criticism, good or bad, try not to take it personally and instead use it to your advantage. 

It may surprise you how much you can learn!

So, if you’re looking to become more resilient in the face of critique, read on!

The next time… you receive some constructive feedback, thank the critic for their input – it may surprise you at how much you can learn from them.

But here’s the thing: 

Criticism can be one of your most excellent tools for growth. 

And if it’s not such an excellent critique, remember that you can always discard it—but at least you tried! 

Having said that…Fault Finding

 In any society, critical analysis is important, and every person is a fair target for constructive criticism.

Finally, join me in thanking those who have taken the time to criticize us constructively.

Honest, critical feedback can strengthen your bond rather than degrade it.”

—Justin Rosenstein, Asana co-Founder

The habit of constantly pointing out people’s faults is most likely a reflection of what you’ve struggled with in childhood.

It is a manifestation of an insecurity about the very things that you judge other people for most often.

Some people who have difficulty taking responsibility for their own actions have a tendency to project onto others that with which they struggle.

In fact, the avoidance of responsibility and a difficulty apologizing to people you’ve hurt are the trademarks of the constant fault finder.Read More
