Grateful Dead

by Mike Monahan, executive director and CEO of Life Success Seminars

If you remember the band Grateful Dead, you are old! That being said, if you remember, it means that you're still alive. But are you Gratefully Alive?

"There's no sense taking life too seriously," is something we like to say at Life Success. "You're not going to get out of it alive, anyway." So how do we find a way to move through life and have fun?

Life is fun when we like what we're doing. And when we're doing what we like, we tend to be grateful for all we have.

All of us are going to die eventually; that's just the way it is. So if you spend the rest of your life doing what you love and being grateful, one day you'll get to join the Grateful Dead.

Why not take 10 minutes each day and write down everything you still have? Be grateful.

And consider this: Maybe you lost a few things to make more room for what's coming!
