A message from Jeffrey Gitomer:
I love this time of year. Food, family, you name it. It’s a time to be thankful.
But I want to challenge you on the way that you’re thankful, and I want to give you some things to think about during this time – the kickoff to the holiday season, Thanksgiving.
I don’t want you to just be thankful for things. I also want you to thank people. Not be thankful for something, rather be thankful for someone. And don’t thank them by email and don’t give some insincere Thanksgiving card to people and think you’ve gotten away with it.
You thank people on the phone if they’re far away. Not with a voicemail but person-to-person. If they’re far away that’s sometimes the only way you can thank them. And you thank people in-person if they’re in your marketplace or in your area.
Here’s a list of people to be thankful for and to personally thank:
- Your customers. Without them, you’d have no money.
- Your co-workers because without them there would be no team or family of people to help your customers win.
- The people of influence in your life because those are the people that have actually created the atmosphere for you to become successful.
- Your prospective customers. Thank them for the opportunity.
- Your vendors. They’re the people who have actually made it happen in your business.
- Your close business friends because they’re the ones that have given you the referrals.
- And then there’s family. Start with your extended family, the big picture of who your family is all the way out there to those distant relatives.
- Then thank each member of your immediate family. You know the ones who really mean a lot to you. The ones you really love.
Thanking other people for something makes them feel great – but it makes you feel better than great.
Here’s the secret: Early in the morning, begin the day by thanking yourself. Go in the bathroom, look into the mirror, and thank yourself.
Be thankful for the lessons that you’ve learned, the successes that you’ve had, and the issues that you’ve had to overcome during the year. Be thankful for your family. And while I understand some people in your family are closer than others, on this day be thankful for all of them. And be extra thankful for the ones that you really share a genuine love with.
Thankful for you,
Jeffrey Gitomer

TRUE GRATITUDE PAYS DIVIDENDS
by Napoleon Hill
Many successful men and women claim they are “self-made.” But the fact is that no one reaches the pinnacle without help.
Once you have set your definite major goal for success — and taken your first steps to achieve it — you find yourself receiving help from many unexpected quarters.
You must be prepared to give thanks for both the human and Divine help you receive.
Gratitude is a beautiful word. It is beautiful because it describes a state of mind that is deeply spiritual in nature. It enhances one’s personality with magnetic charm, and it is the master key that opens the door to the magic powers and the beauty of Infinite Intelligence.
Gratitude, like other traits of the pleasing personality, is simply a matter of habit. But it’s also a state of mind. Unless you sincerely feel the gratitude you express, your words will be hollow and empty — and sound as phony as the sentiment you offer.
Give Thanks Daily
Gratitude and graciousness are closely akin. By consciously developing a sense of gratitude, your personality will become more courtly, dignified and gracious.
Never let a day pass without a few minutes spent in giving thanks for your blessings. Remember that gratitude is a matter of comparison. Compare circumstances and events against what they might have been. You’ll become aware that no matter how bad things are, they could be much worse — and you’ll be grateful they aren’t.
Three phrases should be among the most common in your daily usage. They are: “Thank you.” “I’m grateful,” and “I appreciate….”
Be thoughtful. Try to find new and unique ways to express your gratitude. Not necessarily in material gifts, however time and effort are more precious, and the amount of these you dispense in showing gratefulness will be well worthwhile.
Thank Those Near You
And don’t forget to be thankful to those who are closest to you — your wife or husband, other relatives, and those you associate with daily, whom you might tend to neglect.
You are probably more indebted to them than you realize.
Gratitude takes on new meaning — new life and power — when spoken aloud. Your family probably knows you are grateful for their faith and hope in you. But tell them so! Frequently you’ll find a new spirit pervading the household.
Make your gratitude creative. Make it work for you.
For example, have you ever thought of writing the boss a sample note telling him how much you like your job and how grateful you are for the opportunities it offers? The shock power of such creative gratitude will bring you to his attention — and could even bring you a raise. Gratitude is infectious. He might catch the bug and find concrete ways of expressing his gratefulness for the good services you are rendering.
Remember there’s always something to be grateful for. Even the prospect who turns down a salesman should be thanked for the time he spent listening. He’ll be more likely to buy next time.
Gratitude costs nothing. But it’s a big investment in the future.

How I Learned to be Grateful
in All My Circumstances
by Rich Cavaness
Possessing and offering gratitude requires so much more than a positive state of mind and happy thoughts. Gratitude is, first of all, an emotion, and it affects who you are, not just what you do. Remember, gratitude has nothing to do with conditions; it’s a choice that we make. Consider this interesting principle of gratitude:
If we say, “I am grateful for,” then what we are thankful and appreciative for are things like money, house, family, job, etc. There is nothing wrong with being grateful for things; we should be. But if we take a different approach, our whole perspective of how we look at our lives can change.
If we say, “I am grateful in,” now whatever condition we find ourselves in, we are choosing to be grateful. If you are thankful for where you are in life, then you can receive more for which to be grateful. The ultimate expression of gratitude and thankfulness is a positive and optimistic attitude even when the conditions of our lives aren’t what we want or like.
On November 17, 2011, my life changed in an instant. I was working with a construction roofing company in Dallas, Texas, doing a routine roof inspection. The home was a two-story design, but there was a single story flat area in between. I got my ladder up there, placed it on the first story, climbed on the roof, no problem, and did my inspection. I then proceeded to step onto the ladder, and after two steps down, BAM! The ladder slipped out from underneath me, and I came crashing to the earth.
After I came to myself, I realized I had fallen off the roof, eighteen feet. As I lay there starting to feel things were not right with me, several people who saw the whole incident came to help. Within ten minutes, the ambulance was there with the first responders, and I headed to the emergency room.
I sustained a fractured right ankle, compound break of my right forearm and four fractured ribs. Later I came to find out that my L2 vertebrae was damaged severely as well. All I could think about was that I was alive. Yes, I was a mess, and my injuries would end up causing me lots of grief in the coming months ahead. To this day, my back is a major issue for me. With all that said, I am alive.
So as I lay in the ER, I was grateful, especially when I saw my wife, who was an emotional wreck as well. I really began to feel such gratitude.
I was grateful for the following: I landed on the first story platform initially, then rolled off the roof. It broke the fall and dampened the severity. I landed on the grass and not on the concrete. I fell straight down and not backward which would have thrown me into the street.
I was grateful for no brain injury, no broken neck, very few broken bones and few injuries to speak of. So the point of the story is that no matter what your circumstances in life are, you can be grateful in them. Showing gratitude can actually help to lessen the stress and emotional trauma.
If we are grateful, all goodness can be added to us. We will receive this goodness because that which we are grateful in and appreciate, expands and grows. We have all seen how this principle works. When a person is grateful for the little things in this life, he begins to receive more.
Gratitude recognizes and accepts both the good and bad things of life. Whenever I see a negative, I always look for the positive. Whenever I see a challenge, I always look for the opportunity. Whenever I see a crisis, I always look for the blessing that is in disguise. It is important to be thankful for both ends of the spectrum. Only then will a person truly understand what it means to not be just grateful for things in life, but to be grateful in them, even when they are not to our liking. That is true gratitude.

In Truthful Living, Gitomer has captured Hill’s foundational wisdom for the twenty-first century. These easy-to-implement real-world strategies for life, family, business, and the bottom line prove as energizing and inspiring today as they were nearly one hundred years ago.
