Gratitude helps you put things in perspective. It gives you the skills to look at the world from a different angle and find the positive in any event.

When you consistently come from a place of gratitude, your heart softens; you live and work from a place of peace and unseflishness.

The process of gratitude is not only about being grateful to receive gifts or rewards; it's about gaining an understanding of where you are on your journey. Understanding your journey will affect the way you accept and treat others so developing gratitude is a useful tool for getting by.

There are different exercises you can use to learn how to express gratitude. You can wake up each morning and write a few things for which you are grateful in a journal. You can meditate on moments of hardships until you find the good or the blessings in them. You can be thankful for the money, health, and humor that you find.

A vital piece of information to know is that gratitude is a choice. What is your choice going to be? Consider a few questions from the book.

— Are you grateful for what you have, or do you spend too much time complaining about what you don’t have?

— If you focused more on what you do have, how might your life’s experiences be different?

— What exercise of gratitude do you practice consistently? If none, what exercise of gratitude could you implement in your life?

Gratitude is yet another way of developing your awareness, the awareness of the blessings all around you and the many ways in which your life may be better than you think at any given time.
