My name is Dr. Randall Hyde. On behalf of Expert Village I want to talk to you about
having a grateful and appreciative heart. Like anything else, this takes practice and
repetition until it becomes a habit. There is both good and bad in the world. If you
focus on the good and you're grateful and appreciative, it will change your life. It's
a secret to happiness, success, peace and calmness. As you tuck your children in at
night, get a gratitude journal and have them write down 5 things that they were grateful
for that day. An interesting thing is when you study something or think something just
before you go to sleep, it's called incubation and it drives it right into your longterm
memory. It's the best way to learn. It's important to be loved, we all need it. Carl Rogers,
a great psychologist found that it is 3 times more powerful to give love than receive love.
Now I can't control whether someone loves me, but I can control whether I love them
and whether I show it and give it; 3 times more powerful and building self esteem and
confidence. Research shows that when you are calm and centered, it is usually because you
are grateful.
