We believe gratitude has the power to change the world.
We believe that with every fiber of our being, and know that gratitude is so important. We believe that so strongly that we created an entire business dedicated to making a difference. We want gratitude to spark all across the world and spread like wildfire into the hearts of anyone who seeks it, needs it, and wishes to help capture it.
One of the greatest and most elusive questions in life is: How can I be happy? We chase happiness in almost every action we take. These actions are often small and can lead to a small feeling of happiness.
Sometimes this happiness is fleeting, like the excitement of buying a new car that loses its luster after a few weeks. Sometimes that happiness is found in another person, be it for a short period of time or as our forever. We chase happiness in material things, experiences, individuals, aesthetically -- in nearly anything. We are constantly yearning to feel happiness, but we know one thing about happiness to be true: it is not automatic and we have to seek it.
Gratitude leads to happiness.
We can imagine happiness as a giant, mysterious vault. How do we crack the code? This vault is massive and intimidating, with multiple combinations in order to access the precious treasure inside. While there are a few different combinations needed to crack the Happiness vault, there is one key that will open a portion of the vault: gratitude. Gratitude has the power to unlock authentic happiness within ourselves.
Gratitude is so powerfully important because it brings awareness and focus to the many gifts, blessings, and relationships that make your life rich. How can we focus on our sadness when we pour conscious energy into our blessings? If you are always seeking more, will you ever be satisfied with what is before you? Gratitude turns that question upside down, with the simple practice of acceptance and recognition, and then rejoices in that practice. This practice keeps us humble and helps us see the positives in our lives that we may have lost sight of otherwise. Even taking 5 minutes a day to use a gratitude journal can be hugely beneficial.
This belief backs everything we strive to help create. Gratitude Gifted was founded in Sedona, Arizona with the intention of spreading gratitude into the world, and we hope you are inspired to join us on our mission. Take time today, and every day, to let others know they are appreciated. Pick up the phone, write a letter, give a tighter hug, or simply say thank you. Express your gratitude to those around you as often as you can. We all deserve to hear it so much more.
Together, we can spread gratitude and together, we can change the world.
