GRATITUDE - THE SHORTCUT TO HAPPINESS

The revolutionary technique of being grateful is probably one of the most overlooked techniques in the self-help world. It is in my estimation, the greatest single mental trick there is. Once mastered, it can turn your life around.

What exactly is ‘gratitude’? It is basically being thankful. Learn to be thankful for what you have. It is the short cut to happiness . If the only thing you have are the clothes on your back, but you are thankful for it, that is happiness.

There are two ways to happiness. Chasing what you want, and learning to appreciate what you have. Too many people think happiness is chasing something else. Learn to be grateful for what you have.

Be thankful for your past, and whatever possessions you have. Don't worry about whether other people would be grateful for what you have. Your job is to live your life. Other people will not be living your life for you, will they?

Learn to be grateful for what you have. Right now, I want you to take out a pen and paper, and make a list of five things you are grateful for in your life.
