One of the most overlooked resources that many small business owners can use to grow success is gratitude. At Technalink, we find that it can be very easy to forget about all the wonderful things that we do have in life, especially when there are challenges that are faced in certain areas. However, part of overcoming challenge is also a perspective change, and when gratitude is used as a means of evaluating a situation, it can alter the manner in which a solution is found.
Fostering gratitude in the office does not need to be solely work centered. Feeling joy over any dimension of life does translate through into the way that people act and how they resonate with others. When people give thanks for anything that they value, it also informs the Universe that they are open to even more joy and prosperity. This is because the focus is on gains, not losses.
Gratitude As A Solution
One way to encourage an attitude of gratitude is to utilize the positive aspects as a means of addressing challenges. At Technalink, we will often have situations that appear negative, but instead of focusing on what needs to be overcome, we focus on what we are gaining.
As an example, if a possible professional collaboration falls through, we may initially want to figure out what went wrong. However, this can easily turn into a cycle that serves no productive purpose, and as a result, motivation and energy is also lost in the process. Instead, when we adopt gratitude as our guide, we are able to give thanks for the positives, which opens up a path to opportunity.
Lessons in gratitude can be difficult for anyone, but it is also important to remember that the more we employ this energy, the easier it is to embrace. As we give thanks, we are also teaching ourselves to gain greater self confidence and the ability to accept happiness. This is not a selfish act, but rather, one that resonates with others and supports individual dreams and hopes. Collectively, the energy of gratitude becomes a message that empowers, because it validates the individual and the company to become the highest expression of integrity and joy.
