Thanksgiving is a time when we give thanks for the abundance in our lives. Gratitude is a positive emotion. It is a feeling of the heart. Feeling the emotion of gratitude on and off the golf course can lead you to a feeling of well-being.
New research shows that practicing gratitude is a powerful contributor to increasing happiness. Having an attitude of gratitude on the golf course actually attracts more of the best in your golf game.
Here is a poem about gratitude strategies for your golf game, and your life.
Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.
GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.
