Cultivating Your Success with Gratitude and Kindness

Mastering The Art Of Showing Gratitude To Ultimately Achieve Your Success

Gratitude. I’m sure you have heard of this word before and you probably know that it simply means a feeling of thankfulness and appreciation.
 
Gratitude may be a mouthful to pronounce but the act of showing it is actually rather simple and effective to implement.
 
Knowing the power and potential of showing gratitude and subsequently applying it accordingly can be the single most decisive factor in ensuring better degrees of success for yourself.

Gratitude and Kindness are often interconnected.

When you are grateful for the kindness of others, it can inspire you to be kind in return.

​​Similarly, when you show kindness to others, it can lead to feelings of gratitude and appreciation. Both gratitude and kindness play important roles in fostering positive relationships and creating a more compassionate and empathic world ultimately cultivating the success that you desire.

Let’s dwell a little on exactly what gratitude can do for you and subsequently your success.

​Gratitude instills a positive feeling in you and the people you show it to. It alters your perspective of negative feelings, thoughts or beliefs you may have of yourself or others by alerting these feelings, thoughts and beliefs to the things you are grateful for.

​ 

Gratitude raises your awareness and focus and it can inspire you to achieve better for yourself and the people around you.

In fact, research shows that gratitude offers numerous benefits, from improved well-being to stronger relationships. Yet many people still overlook or resist expressing gratitude, both to themselves and those around them.

​Instead, they may focus on criticism and condemnation, which only brings themselves and others down.

To see if you fall under this category, take the next few seconds to ponder over the following questions:

1. What exactly are the obstacles that are holding you back from showing gratitude or kindness to yourself and to others?

2. How can you overcome these obstacles?

3. How can you unleash an onslaught of gratitude and kindness to yourself and to others?​

The obstacles mentioned above—negative thoughts, emotions, and beliefs—may not only prevent you from expressing gratitude but are likely also holding you back from achieving success.

The goal of my article is to highlight the importance of mindfully showing kindness and gratitude, both to yourself and those around you.

Now that you have a clearer understanding of the benefits of gratitude, let’s start by exploring how you can begin expressing gratitude toward yourself.

Ask yourself: when was the last time you truly rewarded yourself for your achievements?

If you regularly celebrate your successes, keep up the great work!
​
If not, it’s time to start showing yourself some kindness. Treat yourself to a well-deserved reward—whether it’s something simple or extravagant—to honor your past accomplishments and inspire future ones.

Next be appreciative of the things you have - your family, friends,  job, work place, house, wealth, food and surroundings.
 
I know it can be rather impossible to directly show gratitude to these things but don’t fret.
 
You can actually list down these things and write down thank you notes for each of them to express your gratitude. Keep referring to this list when you’re feeling sad or depressed and you can instantly feel a surge of happiness or positive emotions.​

So far, I have covered how you can show gratitude to yourself and the things around you. 

Now, let’s explore ways to show gratitude to those around you.

There are countless ways to express appreciation, but I’ll focus on a few that are both meaningful and easy to practice. Feel free to add your own ideas and incorporate them as they resonate with you.

​2. Make a thank you list of all the people you are grateful for and constantly refer to this list to give yourself a better and greater feeling.

​3. Give a simple verbal thank you, note of appreciation or even a thank you e-mail to express your gratitude to the people who have assisted you in achievements.

​4. Shower the people you are grateful for with small or big cards, gifts, presents or rewards to clearly show them how much you appreciate them.

​5. Or simply provide the people around you with gifts that cannot be bought with cash like kind words and your valuable time focusing on truly helping them with something of importance to them.​

Gratitude. The word may be a little complex to pronounce but there is actually nothing complex about performing the act of showing gratitude.
 
Always bear in mind that when you show gratitude to yourself, the things and the people around you, you will definitely hold the key to unlocking your personal growth and ultimately your success.
