I am grateful for you because...

How powerful are those 6 words?

Extremely!

However, I feel like these 6 words aren't used often enough.

More and more people are adopting a gratitude practice, which I love!

But I feel like many people are just going through the motions:

I'm grateful for my house, my bed and my dog Fido.

I want to challenge you to take your gratitude deeper and express not only WHAT you're grateful for, but WHY you're grateful for that thing or person.

It will make things much more powerful.

For example, I'm grateful for my dog Fido because he loves me unconditionally. Everytime I come home, even if I'm down or had a bad day, he puts a smile on my face. He licks me and let's me give him belly rubs and then we have fun playing fetch.

That's so much more powerful than just saying, I'm grateful for my dog.

Especially when you're telling another human being that you're grateful for them. Take it one step further and tell them WHY.

Whether you are telling them in person or in a card, it's going to be so powerful for them and you.

And you might see some tears. Believe me. :)

Have a grateful day!
