    During my leisure time I fearlessly express gratitude to elevate my spirits and feel blessed.

    Research has proven that taking gratitude visits not only elevate our spirits but result in everlasting happiness as well.

    Nothing summarizes the virtue of expressing gratitude than this iconic quote of Simon Sinek.

    The following quote from Dan and Chip Heath further strengthens the above argument:

    “Expressing Gratitude pleases the Recipient of the praise, of course, but it can also have a BOOMERANG effect, ELEVATING the spirits of the GRATEFUL PERSON.”

    Finally let me sign off telling you how the construct of a gratitude visit may look like.

    Not exactly an ATTRACTION but a place I CRAVE to VISIT each weekend is a LAUGHTER CLUB, just a few miles from the town I stay. I love Laughter clubs since they encourage PLAYFULNESS.

    Laughter Clubs are ones wherein people from different parts of the city, different walks of life assemble and spend quality time SIMPLY LAUGHING.

    Research has shown that LAUGHING stimulates RIGHT BRAIN thinking and encourages PLAYFULNESS.

    This brings more meaning in our lives and make them fulfilling.

    Why I Love Motivation, my Name?

    Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.
    View all responses

    My first name as well as my identity starts and ends with motivation. I PileOnMotivation will explain you in this blog why I love my first name, Motivation.

    Motivation is needed to remain Optimistic in life to drive away anxiety and fear from our lives.

    The origin of PileOnMotivation was related to piling on motivating together with preachers and seekers of motivation. This in turn would provide us the faith and optimism to imagine a brighter future for ourselves.

    I love these quotes of Simon Sinek on motivation and hence Optimism.

    “OPTIMISM is NOT the DENIAL of the CURRENT STATE. OPTIMISM is the BELIEF that the FUTURE is BRIGHT.”

    “Optimism is the ability to focus on where we are going, not where we are coming from”.

    “Optimists FOCUS on the PLACE they are GOING. Pessimists FOCUS on the OBSTACLES along with ROUTE. To become an OPTIMIST, simply look AHEAD.”

    And finally let me end with a famous quote of Zig Ziglar.

    To motivation yourself and feel optimistic feel free to read these blogs meant to motivate the unmotivated.
