Gratitude vs. thankfulness

In the United States we celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow.  It has become common, routine and expected to write about those things we are thankful for in our lives.  I agree that to live a full life having thanks for what we have is essential.  That isn’t enough.

Merriam-Webster defines GRATITUDE as ‘the state of being grateful’ and THANKFUL as ‘appreciation for benefits received.’
I believe and personally aspire to live a life of GRATITUDE.  I challenge you to move beyond appreciation for what you have received from life to change your state of being. 
​
GRATITUDE is a way of live not an act of appreciation.  Change how you live this holiday season.
