Quote of the Day: Ralph Waldo Emerson

by Sep 7, 2017

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

There will always be moments when we feel less than grateful for the positive things in our lives– it is so very easy to focus on the negative, the things that go wrong.

It is at precisely these moments when one must pause to remember all the positives and express gratitude for them. Whether this be a mental checklist at the start of each day, a handwritten journal entry before bed each night, or simply a smorgasbord of thoughts sprinkled throughout one’s day, it is imperative to cultivate an attitude of gratitude.
