Here’s a great little tip for putting more joy into your life right now. A lot of you know this one already, but it’s fun to hear it again. I suggest you say, “Thank you,” 40 times a day. Zig Zigler calls this the attitude of gratitude. Life is good right now.

You’ve got people around you who don’t believe life is good. They might be your co-workers, customers – even your family members. They’ll tell you that life is tough but that one day it will get good. And they’re right. But do you know when it’ll get good? — 10 years from now when they can safely look to the past, to the “good old days,” and fondly remember how good it was: “life was easier then; we didn’t have the worries of today; times weren’t as crazy.” Baloney! Everyone faced big challenges back then, too, just like now (every stage of life brings it’s big challenges).

Funny thing about human nature, though, people tend to think fondly about things that happened over 10 years ago. And some are perpetually waiting for the video to come out so they can enjoy life by looking backwards. I ask, “Why wait 10 years? Why waste 10 years?” Enjoy life now! This is it.

Saying, “Thank you,” 40 times a day puts things in perspective, smoothes life’s jagged edges and helps us feel the peace that comes with appreciation. I say that by saying “Thank you,” 40 times a day you can feel appreciation for the good things you’ve got while still working to make them better.
