Gratitude, Thankfulness, Appreciation!

We've all been told to be grateful, and the literature on gratitude's correlation to happiness is well-documented.
• However, often times people use gratitude as a way to self-sabotage or make excuses for not going after what they really want.
• This is because they think that being grateful for what they have should mean that they don't want anything more.
• However, this isn't true! We can be grateful for everything we have AND still want more out of life. 
• Wanting more doesn't mean we're ungrateful - it just means that we are ambitious and striving for a joyful life!
• Switching from “gratitude” to “appreciation” can help shift your perspective and make space for more positive emotions.
