I know I am not alone in my love of beautiful journals and stationery of all kinds. Lily Samii has created a journal, available in an array of colors, aimed at fostering gratitude and mindfulness every day and she shared with us all about her journals, their purpose, how she created them and how she hopes people will use them. Here’s what she said:
As a citizen of the world, I was inspired to create a universal tool of happiness that is fit for the world we live in today and the future: beautiful and sustainable. With the support of over 30k followers, I created The Gratitude List – an evidence-based journal that helps you be happier and create a life you love.
I believe in rituals that make us feel happy and calm: whether it’s going for a walk first thing in the morning, chatting with a friend over lunch, enjoying a rooibos cup of tea by the fire, baking a cake – we all wish we had more of those moments. The Gratitude List is the gratitude journal I wish existed. It helps you form positive mindful habits and live in a beautiful state.
It’s an all-in-one journal with daily gratitude prompts, quotes from around the world, coloring mandalas, a bucket list, and other really cool features in one handcrafted velvet-bound notebook. The Gratitude List elevates who you are and helps you become who you want to be.
I learned one of the most valuable lessons in life: perseverance. It took 2 years to create The Gratitude List from idea to market. Inevitably, I faced challenges through the process. My passion to make a profound difference together with people who believed in me gave me the strength to persevere and to do it. Shoghi Effendi wrote: “To try, to persevere is to insure complete and ultimate victory.”
During the production process and finding the right manufactures, I learned that when a product’s cheap, someone along the line was not paid. There’s no middleman with The Gratitude List, we control the production process and we stand for a strong, sustainable, ethical business. Albert Einstein said: “Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value.”
The Gratitude List is available on our website: https://the-gratitude-list.com/
We are also stocked by multiple retailers worldwide, including Selfridges & Co in London.
We are working relentlessly to become a plastic-free brand by 2022. We are incorporating processes to only use 100% recycled and recyclable packaging, eco-friendly materials, and a zero-waste workplace at the office. As an entrepreneur, it’s my dream and I’m deeply committed to making it happen. The Gratitude List is a brand of the future.
The world needs that special gift that only you have. You will inevitably stumble across obstacles and challenges, but persevere and you will find success. I like to always ask myself, “What can I learn from this?” Do your best and let the Universe do the rest.
