When life gets hectic and you feel overwhelmed, take a moment to focus on the people and things you are most grateful for. When you have an attitude of gratitude, frustrating troubles will fall by the wayside.

About This Quote

I’m always amazed by how many people say things like, “I don’t have time to be grateful.” As if they’re saying something like, “I don’t have time to be sad. I don’t have time to feel bad. I don’t have time to feel angry. I don’t have time to be tired. I don’t have time to feel happy.” The worst part is that it makes sense because of course you can’t be grateful if you don’t take the time to do it! Think about how many times you get angry at someone over something ridiculous, get mad at yourself for not having enough time for yourself, get mad at everyone else around you for taking up your precious, limited life… If you want to get out of that negative loop, focus on all the things you are grateful for! If you think of all the good times in your life and all the good things that happened to you, you will be able to let go of negativity and frustration.
