Do You Take Life For Granted?

By Mark Romero

We get so caught up in the drama of life, we allow all of the blessings and miracles to go by the wayside and we wonder why at the end of the day we are discontent, frustrated and unfulfilled.

So what is the key ingredient to making life truly worth living?

Gratitude!

Do you have it and better yet are you using it to ignite your passion and your life?

Typically most of us go through life forgetting to smell the roses. We hurry on our way doing the things that we think are going to bring us security and happiness. Yet, no matter how hard we work at it, we always seem to fall short of the mark.

When was the last time you were grateful for the simple things in your life?

When did you last acknowledge the miracle of who and what you are?

When was the last time you were thankful for your body, that awesome vehicle that takes you from place to place?

If we would just take the time to acknowledge all of the riches we have been blessed with, we would notice how rich and well off we really are. Not only that, but we would also create a place for true satisfaction and joy in our lives.

In my old business I was driven by revenue. I based my happiness and contentment on that number. It was after all the guidepost in which to measure my success by and no matter what number I made; I knew that I could always do more!

One year I hit $15M in annual revenue. Do you think I was happy? Do you think I was grateful? No, I was angry that I didn't hit $20M in revenue!

That was an eye opening experience for me. I realized that I approached all aspects of my life with this mindset and that ultimately; I was discontent across the board! I really begin to wonder if I could ever be truly happy and satisfied in my life experience.

I was literally on the verge of complete financial collapse and then I begin to understand the importance of gratitude. Such a simple process, yet so powerful!
