Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. —C.S. Lewis
Do you know that good habits can be one of our biggest assets, personally and professionally?
Recently I have set some specific goals for myself and what I have come to discover, is that other good habits that I never expected to develop have accompanied my new practices… most of those occur when I am thinking more about others and less of myself.
As you celebrate Thanksgiving, here are a couple of suggestions for gaining gratitude through a hopeful attitude:
REPEAT
When repeating a positive task or accomplishment, look for additional habits that you develop along the way and be thankful.
CONFIDENCE
Having a positive outlook on potential achievements [and aiming to exceed them] will not only give you an additional burst of confidence, but a positive attitude will allow you to be thankful for those things you have already achieved and more aware of the needs of those around you.
BREAK IT DOWN
When accomplishing tasks or reaching goals, take a brief look at the little skills or steps that it took to complete the larger task. Be thankful for a fresh perspective.
LOOK FORWARD, BEHIND
Don’t loose sight of tomorrow by ignoring yesterday. Be thankful for the mistakes you have made – and learned from. Be thankful for the clients that you have worked with – and learned from them. Be thankful for change – and what you’ve learned from it.
Be thankful for hope and take gratitude into tomorrow with you… adopt this and you’ll discover a giving habit.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:15-7
