Gratitude

Team Pure Intent is truly about the importance of gratitude. It is very important to understand that
without this powerful word and action the world would most likely be more chaotic than what it is
today. Whether it’s in business or family we must show how much one to another is appreciated. This sends a powerful message to the inner spirit that it is OK and that we’re fit to go the extra mile. If you know it or not we’re all in need of some sort of encouragement, mental stroking of importance and acknowledgment among other positive building blocks of edification.

We should be unconsciously thinking about what we can do for the next person. In the upcoming days, weeks and months, I will be breaking down more of why this is a necessary component to our lives. Even though it is a beautiful thing to celebrate each other around holidays, birthdays and special occasions, it is even more important to do it on a daily base. Whether you know it or not you think about many people though out the day. You’re either reminded by hearing a name from someone else speaking about a totally different person, but you know a person with the same name. Some may come across your mind in ways of remembering the good ole times.

Whatever it maybe you are always thinking about someone. We can’t afford to allow those thoughts to go unanswered, or ignored. To act on something positive or negative will be the same result that thought will come back to you regardless. So why not make it good so that you can continually find yourself in a good atmosphere or place in your life. You may say well I’m already in a good place, well now it’s time to help someone else get into the same place because we all deserve it and if there is any time in life it surely right now. Contact the person right now that comes to mind act on it by calling them, NOT TEXTING, but giving them something tangible. Remember it never has to cost much but the cost behind the giving is huge.
