30 Inspiring Motivational Quotes About Thankfulness and Giving Thanks

Close your eyes and imagine everything you hold dear has disappeared: family, friends, job, business, home. Everything.
Instantly you’ll realize that what you already have is so much more important than what you don’t have. You realize how blessed, how successful, and how happy you already are.
The uncertainty, stress, and challenges entrepreneurs face on a nearly constant basis, especially in the early days of a startup, can make it hard to find reasons to give thanks.
And if that’s not enough, wanting “more,” in every aspect of our lives, is normal. But when you constantly focus on what you may have lost — or on the flip side, what you want but haven’t yet achieved — it’s easy to lose sight of what you do have.
This Thanksgiving, take a few private moments to give thanks for what you do have.
And more importantly, for the people who make your life not only what it is… but what it could someday become.
