“Gratitude, we find in the dictionary, but not often in the heart of man.”

What do you have to be grateful of in life? Look closely. There is a lot more there than you normally recognize. Perhaps it is a beautiful family, wonderful relationships or simply the pattern of your career.

Even if you are experiencing tough times, especially if you are experiencing tough times it is so important that you center yourself from a point of gratitude. To do so lowers your center of balance toward frustration and disappointment.

Gratitude is natural counteraction to depression. The realization of gratitude helps to fortify self-value and self-esteem and strengthens the quality of character.

There are a lot of times when the truly impressive efforts over the years go almost unnoticed and taken for granted and no gold medal or award of recognition is given even though it is deserved.

Certainly those efforts yield better results in life, career and influence, but if not for our kind words of encouragement little else might be said about the patterns of our children and family members.

My oldest daughter is certainly deserving of a gold medal for her living patterns while growing up. She was a wonderfully delightful child, a gifted student and never strayed from her goals and determination to excel as a person.

My youngest two girls are following in her footsteps as strong students with great personalities filled with happiness and love.

Each is no less deserving of a gold medal for their efforts and hard work than any athlete. However, their reward will eventually come in a better career, higher income and a solid fulfilling family life. I couldn’t be more proud of all three if they had true Olympic gold medals hanging around their neck.

As parents you should celebrate the living efforts and victories of your children and family members. Take the time to place them on the family winner’s podium and acknowledge the quality results they are getting.

Sometimes it’s a special dinner just for them or perhaps a minor reward of something that brings them happiness just to say thank you for being a quality individual that isn’t afraid to work hard to achieve success.
