“Find the good and praise it.” — Alex Haley



This is Thanksgiving week in the United States. Newspapers, TV and radio abound with Thanksgiving messages. News reporters randomly stop shoppers in malls to ask the question, “What will you be thankful for this Thanksgiving day?”


This is wonderful as it gets people to stop and think about the meaning of giving thanks.

Giving thanks is an expression of gratitude for something you have received or for you state in life.


Did you know that Gratitude leads to Success?

Gratitude or giving thanks on a daily basis allows you to focus on the positives in your Life and by focusing on the positives, no matter how small, you are developing and nurturing a Positive Mental Attitude about Life and Work.

It is widely recognized by those working in the Science of Success area that a positive mental attitude or PMA is essential to success in all aspects of Life.


So Gratitude (Thanks) creates PMA, which leads to Success.



Napoleon Hill in his book , Think and Grow Rich, states,


“a positive mental attitude(PMA) is the single most important principle of the science of success.”



Begin this week to develop your Attitude of Gratitude.

It must be noted that this action must be practiced daily to be perfected.


Why not test science. Give it a try! The choice is yours!


I would love to know your results.


Life Coaching Activities to increase Gratitude to lead to Success.

1. Each morning when you wake make the choice to be positive…’I will be a positive person today.’
