Why You Should Practice Gratitude — And How

It’s so easy to get “lost” while chasing our goals.

To start neglecting everything around us, eventually, sacrificing it for the one thing we crave so badly.

The success we believe will finally fulfill us.

Now, if you’ve ever stuck to this approach long enough, reaching the objective that was going to provide for endless fulfillment, then you know how mistaken you were.

There was no endless fulfillment, no peace of mind, no joy.

For some of you, if not most, there probably was a feeling of emptiness. Like this sacrifice was all for nothing.

I’ve been there myself and while going through it I must admit that my life suffered from all of the above, leaving me in the worst state I’ve ever been.

Of course, that is all in the past and I was able to reach the other side as a stronger, healthier person. Both mentally and physically.

With that in mind…

Where does gratitude fit into all of this?
