There is no greater power that you can use to influence your life than the power of practising showing gratitude. Those who have attained great success in their personal and professional lives have undoubtedly begun to practice the art of being thankful for everything that they have and everything that happens to them. No matter the size, they are thankful for the gifts and the opportunities and/or lessons that have presented themselves within their lives as a direct response of being grateful for what they already possess.
