25+ Gratitude Quotes for Your Planner

25+ Gratitude Quotes for Your Planner

Celebrating #NationalGratitudeMonth

Considering that November is #NationalGratitudeMonth I plan on focusing more thoughts and time to developing gratitude. Do you feel like it’s something you could improve in your life, too?

I found some great quotes on gratitude and I wanted to share them with you. Feel free to use any of them in your planner. Many of these quotes would work well in your planner or bullet journal. In fact, many of them would work well inscribed on a wall.

Gratitude isn’t just for #NationalGratitudeMonth in November. I know I need to include the practice of celebrating gratefulness more often in my life. In fact, I’d like to make it a daily practice, more so than I do right now. But what better time to start than now?

Want More Random Holidays?

Find my stash of random holidays here.

If you’re coming across this post whether it’s November, February or June or any time between, these gratitude quotes are a great starting point as a reminder to stop and appreciate the world around us and the things we have in our lives. My challenge to you is to find some way to elevate your expression of gratitude. I’d love to know about your adventure.

If you use any of these quotes in your planner, I’d love to see and share them so tag me on Instagram @ChocolateMusingsCreates.

Subclasses of Gratitude Quotes

After reading many of these quotes, it occurred to me that I could classify these gratitude quotes into sub-categories. I’d love to get some feedback from you – if I should move a quote to a different sub-category or create a whole new sub-category for these reminders of gratefulness, please leave me a comment below!

Also, I’d love to know if I skipped over any of your favorite gratitude quotes. Drop me a line and let me know!

25+ Gratitude Quotes Perfect for your Planner or Bullet Journal | ChocolateMusings.com #planning #journaling #gratitude

Gratitude Quotes – World Around Us

When you view your world with an attitude of gratitude, you are training yourself to focus on the good in life. – Paul J Meyer

Give yourself a gift of five minutes of contemplation in awe of everything you see around you. Go outside and turn your attention to the many miracles around you. This five-minute-a-day regimen of appreciation and gratitude will help you to focus your life in awe. – Wayne Dyer

The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see. – Mary Davis

Some people grumble that roses have thorns. I am grateful that thorns have roses. – Alphonse Karr

The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs is more people to appreciate and enjoy it. – Michael Josephson

Personal Transformation

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. – William Arthur Ward

The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated. – William James

Gratitude is one of the strongest and most transformative states of being. It shifts your perspective from lack of abundance and allows you to focus on the good in your life, which in turn pulls more goodness into your reality. – Jen Sincero

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more, it turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. – Melody Beattie

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. – Henry Ward Beecher

When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears. – Anthony Robbins

When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around. – Willie Nelson

If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily. – Gerald Good

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. – Albert Einstein

Happiness

I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy. – Will Arnett

I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude. – Brene Brown

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. – Dennis Waitley

Gratitude & Action

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. – John F. Kennedy

Enjoy every moment.

You cannot do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Abundance

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude. – Cynthia Ozick

Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for. – Zig Ziglar

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. – Robert Brault

The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement. – Charles Schwab

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness. – Dalai Lama

“Enough” is a feast – Buddhist Proverb

If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get. – Frank A Clark

Want More Quotes? Here’s My Growing List

Quotes are and forever will be among my favorite things in this world. So I will strive to share more with you. View my list of quote-related blog posts.

Which Gratitude Quotes Do You Like the Most?

After reading some of these quotes, I know I am lacking in the gratitude department and will strive to live with an attitude of gratitude. Which ones are your favorite or how would you classify the gratitude quotes?

If what they say is true, gratitude will help enhance your life, bring more meaning to your days, make you see clearly the true blessings in your life and enhance the peace you feel.

I am all for these things, and if you are too, let’s try adding a little more gratitude every day to our lives. Rather than feel guilty, let’s become more grateful. We can do this, together.

Because I want to be sure that expressing more gratitude actually works, I plan on writing either a sentence or a word that I’m grateful for every day in November. Either dedicating a page in my planner for the word or phrase or writing it in my journal. Do you want to express more gratitude as well? And as a result of your gratitude experiment, what do you think it will do to your outlook on life?

Want to start planning or bullet journaling? Here are some of my favorite supplies to get you started.

    I definitely need these in my life. I was just thumbing through my journal realizing that I do not give gratitude the time it deserves. Maybe I can use these quotes to work on my lettering. This way I’m getting the gratitude thoughts flowing and getting better at my lettering at the same time!

      Me too, girl. I want to use next month to start focusing on being more grateful and more forgiving. Both things I need in my life! I tried doing a gratitude journal and one line per day but didn’t follow through. That’s the problem is not giving priority and not following through!

About Me


Hi! I'm Tricia, the creative behind ChocolateMusings.com, I know how it feels to lose your inner muse. After years of darkness (which I call the dark ages of my life), I found my inner muse hiding in the forgotten corners of my soul, I vowed never to lose sight of her again.

Bullet journaling helped reignite the passion for art and living life again while organizing my days. I also discovered modern calligraphy and watercolor. Since then, my use of the bullet journal system has evlolved and I call it 'creative planning'. Here on the blog, I show you how to use your planner to ignite your inner muse and explore creativity and art while staying beautifully organized and living a joyful life.

I invite you to grab some good chocolate and dive into my musings. Let’s ignite your inner muse.
