101 Inspirational Stories about Counting Your Blessings and Having a Positive Attitude
This title is a continuation of the theme of our very popular past titles - Chicken Soup for the Soul: Count Your Blessings and Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People. We are looking for stories of optimism, faith and strength to encourage our readers to think positive in these challenging times.
What was the situation that inspired you to think positive? What changes did you make in your attitude — from negative to positive — that turned your life around? These inspirational stories will remind readers to focus on hope and show them that each day holds something to be grateful for.
Here are some suggested topics, but we know you can think of many more: Attitude! It does make a difference. The unexpected benefits of challenges. Putting things in perspective. Turning negative into positive. How you spread the message of gratitude to others. Lighten up and laugh! What made you realize that your life is good and that you are grateful. Silver linings that you have discovered. Appreciating the simple pleasures... and anything else that you think that is interesting and inspirational.
