President Obama called for a national day of service on MLK Day.
Did you participate? Or are you out of work, feeling beaten or depressed or worried about being laid off - does everything seem to be going wrong? If you can relate to those feelings than it's time to take some action.
What moves you? What do you care about in your community? Get involved and start to give back because giving back is an important way to remember that there are things that are going right. Every day, write down all the things you are grateful for having happened to you today. Be descriptive of each item. Feel the joy those things bring you. Even if it's something really small like your car started this morning. Be grateful for it. This will help you to stay focused on the positive.
Gratitude is one of the keys to having a successful and fulfilling life. Try the exercise and see what changes it can manifest for you. It doesn’t take very long yet the effects will be life altering. Even after a very short space of time, you’ll find that you quickly forget that you burnt your finger or missed the bus but instead remember the good things that happened in your day. You have now trained yourself to see the positive instead of the negative. You may find that opportunities you never knew existed will begin to appear and you will be ready to take advantage of them.
And while you're doing good works, dont' forget to network! Successful executives are involved in philanthropic ventures - have your elevator speech and networking business cards ready. Make connections while you make the world a better place and you'll feel 100% better about the future!
