Gratitude
Sharing gratitude is powerful and proven method for generating happiness.
No man is an island. We have all at one time or another received help, support, or guidance from other people at particular times in our life when we needed it most. Sometimes those people have altered the course of our life through their special act of kindness, encouragement, message of truth, or being there at the right moment. In fact, many of us don’t realize how powerful their impact was until later in life. For others, it found in a quiet moment of reflection; realizing a particular person was pivotal in changing the direction of their life for the better. Noticing and expressing genuine thanks to others is a key ingredient for manifesting health and joy.
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each one of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”
Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Prize Winner.
