How too much gratitude can lead to complacency
Now, this may throw you for a loop but check this out… CHECK YOUR GRATITUDE!
Don’t let your gratitude oppress or marginalize your ambitions! It’s OKAY to be grateful for where you are at AND want more! As with everything in life, there must be balance. Overindulgence in gratitude may push you into a state of complacency.
Continue to plan, dream, and accomplish as much as you can in life! Your gratitude will come into play as you step into your future successes with a gracious attitude – an appreciation for the journey you embarked upon.
Remember This: It’s okay to want more. Why you may ask? Simple. Because you are worth more.
– Philosopher Paco
Summary
Is there such thing as too much gratitude? No, but there is such thing as becoming unproductive and mediocre because you’re sooo grateful. We don’t need to always strive or want more, but we should always be bettering ourselves and our lives in some capacity.
