We often get so bogged down with work that we forget to enjoy the simple things in life and to NOT take ourselves so seriously.

So as a tribute to all the amazing things we need to be grateful for in life, here is the original Gratitude Dance by the Gratidudes.

You can't watch this and not smile and you just can't do this dance without laughing. It's just that ridiculous.

For those who are looking to express some daily gratitude, check out gratitudelog.com. It's an awesome social network of people who are grateful everyday. You can even send notes of appreciation to friends (along with a cute gift) and make certain gratitude posts private so only you can read them.

If you're reading this, then you're already a guru. Or at least part of The Guru.

What I'm trying to say is that you're the collective voice of enlightenment. We're no longer separated by physical structures and land masses. As I write this I know that people from the west coast of the States all the way to Japan will read this.

Information technology, the internet, and telecommunication are at its peak.  This is something amazing and with the spread of knowledge and ideas, personal growth will skyrocket like no other time before it. The growth is literally exponential.

In The Age Of Connectivity, We Are All The Guru

By Seamus Anthony from RebelZen.com

One of the most liberating things you can realize in life is that there are no rules.

People will try to tell you there are – but it’s not true.

Do you feel enthusiastic? When you wake up or when you go home? If yes, then you're one of the few people living like there's a pep squad next to you at all times.

Enthusiasm can be a little hard to come by, especially in the work-all-day society we live in.

That's why this article is a must read for everyone. It's a journey into another culture where enthusiasm and relaxation both reign. It also gives you the benefits of being enthusiastic and how to get your enthusiasm going.

Even if you think you have nothing to be enthusiastic about, just read this article. You'll be happily surprised.
