Had a reader email me last week and say that my book was the catalyst and “FTE” that caused her to lose 250lbs. It helped her see the cognitive distortions in her mind that kept her on a path of obesity and disease. It was so incredible to read, and to see as she included “before” and “after” pictures.

Hearing this warmed my heart to realize the impact I am influencing goes beyond freedom and finances.

Which one is it?

Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. If this book makes me a runner it will be a miracle but it's well-written, rapid plot, cool little asides and it just flows! You can tell the author is a reporter. Every paragraph is captivating.

There are countless studies explaining why gratitude works and how it impacts positively our well-being.

A couple of weeks ago I started with my girlfriend daily "say 5 things you're grateful for" practice and it's been helpful to slowly learn to focus more on the good aspects of life instead of the negative ones.

So, what are you grateful for today? Just pop in here whenever you want to share some grateful thoughts with others. I hope that this thread will become a source of consistent positivity.

Resurrecting this thread. Two and a half years later, I'm still practicing gratitude daily. It's now also a daily occurrence for me to feel gratitude spontaneously which was rare before.

Been doing it for a long time as well.

You know it's working when the first thought in hard situations is "Man I am do grateful that this not worse".

Really sick rn but still grateful that it's not worse.
 
So much!

My family, my Fiancé, my fledging business, my job, my house, my car, the fact I can afford food. So much more!

I’m grateful for being so young. I know that my future self will be looking back at these “good old days”. I will show my gratitude by making every second count.

Looking out over the water from inside my warm home, there's nowhere I have to be, no one telling me what to do, no people in my life that I can't stand, a business that pays me well each month that is growing each year, tons of time to pursue hobbies and keep life interesting, I've got peace of mind and a happy, traditional, submissive girlfriend alongside me. My problems aren't even problems. Every day is like Saturday.

Glad you're happy.

I was amused by your "girlfriend" comment. Traditional and submissive -- not the women I know since the 1950s.

I'm currently grateful for being able to sit on a comfortable sofa in a warm house with a beautiful ocean view and get to post on this incredible forum 😀

Can I first say that as beautiful as your house view is - I'm more impressed with the forgotten (or first time heard[read]) 50 cent quote....

That being said, I'm grateful for my new townhome, my son, my new wife (version 2.0 is much better than 1.0 IMHO), my small but regrowing library, my car, the wife's car, my health, vision, the fact I currently don't have any BIG boss but several small ones, the fact that I see sunshine outside 90-95% of the time now compared to my native MidWest state with 30-40% sunshine on a lucky year. I'm grateful for this forum, I'm grateful that I am helping other business owners meet their goals. I'm grateful for AI, I'm grateful that Civil War II hasn't yet popped off in America despite the media (ON BOTH SIDES)'s self-destructive attempts to stoke it, I'm grateful I have about 1 more task before bedtime (It's midnight as I write this), I'm grateful that Grammarly (an AI I think) keeps telling me it's GRATEFUL and not GREATFUL - [oh darn my lack of grammar secret is out]. I'm grateful I just got back from a mini vacation last week with friends and I'm going on a longer vacation with my wife to easily one of my favorite places in the US in 2 weeks. I'm grateful I met Jim Lee one of my absolute artistic hero's a few weeks back. I'm grateful for the bumps in the road and also the "'feet-off-the-peddles,-let's-go-'weee!" portions of the entrepreneurship journey in my future and my past. I'm thankful for @MTF for posting this and I'm thankful for anyone else taking the time to read this far. I appreciate you.
 
I am grateful that this forum exist and this forum have wonderful brothers to support you on your journey in life.
 
Good health and my family. And the fact I accidentally discovered a small bakery yesterday with the best bread ever.

You are with the wrong people. My social circle all has girlfriends/wives that are modest, religious, pretty, don’t post on social media, and don’t associate with people who are not like them.
 
I am grateful that I am not called up for war.

There is a conflict in Europe where young men from both sides are trapped in hell.

War is so brutal that that anyone survives them will have huge emotional scars.

It makes whatever problem and pain that I have now so minis-cure in comparison.
 
Being alive and well. Having good health. Seeing my grandmother almost dying at the beginning of May made my heart sank. Being able to help people as well, just seeing your loved one's disappear or almost die can change your point of view about life and how health really matters.
 
I Stared Death in the face and survived. I drove my truck yesterday for the first time in over a year. I can mow the grass and work on the fence. I can stand and walk. I am able to eat and drink. I get to socialize with people and celebrate with them. If/when I do feel pain, it means I am still alive. I can feel the wind on my face, the sun on my skin and smell fresh air.

I get a charge from seeing the progress ya'll are making in your lives. Thankful for all my fastlane friends.

You are posting on this Forum? And it's not OK for a woman to do the same?

I became an adult in a world in which women could not buy a house, have a credit card in their name, take out a loan, or do much without a man's signature. The Fair Credit Act became law in the US in 1974 giving women equal financial rights. I'm blessed as a woman to have all these rights.

My mother was subservient to my dad. He was very abusive and it was against her religion to get a divorce -- just about no matter what he did. I never wanted to be my mom. I always wanted more. I've had a wonderful RE career for 47 years where I have been able to call my own shots. I'm proud of my 4 college degrees. I'm proud of my career. What I'm most proud of going back and getting Mom out of that 43 years of marriage hell. I took care of her for the last 10 years of her life. And together we lived a very full, happy life. She grew into a different person when she got away from him. I've been on the other side. So that's why I have a different perspective than you.

I was reading the other day about the difference between grateful and thankful. They are two different feelings. Thankfulness is more of a temporary feeling for the moment. Grateful is what you feel something long-term in your gut. It's more profound. I've changed my morning statement of what I'm feeling from being labeled grateful to thankful. I have a few "grateful" things in my life. Most are simply a moment of being thankful for today's reality.

I'm so grateful for having found this forum at such a young age and its wonderful people on it :-)
 
I’m grateful I’m able to read since I realized one day while reading that not everybody can read. I also found out that those who can read usually don’t read.

The knowledge from reading high quality books and forums give some insane value. I’m also grateful for that.
 
Ha yes excellent idea of a thread

Today I'm begin grateful for having been able to work some hours efficiently despite the fact that I got up without any motivation.

Efficiently meaning focused and going straight to the point, because I'm such easily distracted and/or perfectionnist.

It was a "Discipline +1" day
 
Grateful that I completed today's tasks. I didn't think I'd be able to do it but one way or another they got done because I kept trying and putting in the effort. This is a controllable add to my self confidence.
