"To feel grateful is one of the most important experiences we need as humans. When we feel it, there is an acceptance of everything in our life."

"Gratitude incorporates both the heart and mind, and instantly paves the shortest road to happiness."

"Enjoy and be grateful for the little things, one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."

"Being thankful just makes the day better"

“A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues”

"The true benefit from being thankful comes when you act on it."

Persevere - its worth it! Sometimes when it's hardest to feel gratitude is when you and those around you need it most.

"When you live in gratitude, your desires become the icing on the cake."

"Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build their philosophy of life."

"When we feel true gratitude, whether toward particular people or toward life, loving kindness will flow from us naturally. When we connect with another person through gratitude, the barriers that separate begin to melt."

“Whenever we are appreciative, we are filled with a sense of well-being and swept up by the feeling of joy.”

"When we become more fully aware that our success is due in large measure to the loyalty, helpfulness, and encouragement we have received from others, our desire grows to pass on similar gifts. Gratitude spurs us on to prove ourselves worthy of what others have done for us. The spirit of gratitude is a powerful energizer.”

"Be grateful for the joy of life. Be glad for the privilege of work. Be thankful for the opportunity to give and serve. Good work is the great character-builder, the sweetener of life, the maker of destiny. Let the spirit of your work be right, and whether your task be great or small you will then have the satisfaction of knowing it is worth while."

"A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it."

"Don’t wait until something great happens to be thankful. YOUR great things are all around you – all that is needed is to notice their greatness!"
