Yes, we all need a reminder - especially at this time of year: there are three “G” words that’ll make your days more powerful, effective, efficient and productive.

G is for Gratitude. Look at what you’ve come through. Look at where you’re headed! Look at the small pebbles that have paved the way, even the ones that have gotten in the way. There is so much to be grateful for. So very much to be grateful for. And living in that space, vs. the space of entitlement or being offended, living in gratitude opens so many doors for you.

G is for Grace. Look at what you’ve come through and don’t assume you know what anyone else is feeling or has come through. Grace is about giving yourself and others the breathing room to take on the next challenge, whether that’s simply getting up in the morning or whether it’s saving the world. Everyone needs a little more Grace.

G is for Generosity. Don’t judge whether someone “needs” something from you or not. Decide how you can make a positive impact. (I’ve been known to leave a $100 tip in hotel rooms. Something tells me that might make a positive impact on the housekeeper.) Where can you make a positive impact? Where might you step up your generosity game?
