Barring unusual circumstances, if you look at your life right now chances are you will have some problems you are grappling with and some things to be grateful for. If you focused on things to be grateful for, it would give you much joy and satisfaction; if you focused on problems you are facing you would invite anxiety and negativity. What will you choose?
Choosing to focus on things that you are grateful for does not mean not ignoring your challenges or problems. On the contrary, it means attending to your challenges with vigour derived from gratitude. When you feel grateful and blessed, you exude peace, calm and confidence, which invite creativity and innovation.
Switch your attention to what is going well for you, and tackle the things that need attention with renewed energy, zeal and enthusiasm. Before long, you will be on top of your challenges!
