One of the most important characteristics separating those who know how to be happy from those who have yet to discover happiness is a determined attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving.  The way we view the circumstances of our lives shapes everything about them.  Events, circumstances, conditions, and relationships are neither good nor bad; they’re not helpful or harmful; they’re neither positive nor negative; they simply are.

Or, looked at another way, the same set of circumstances contains both positive and negative characteristics.  Inherent in anything in our lives is the potential for goodness and harm, good and bad, positive and negative.  What makes the difference?  Nothing more and nothing less than the power of our own perception.  We create the goodness or negativity in our reality through the creative power of observation.

How we choose to perceive events and circumstance makes all the difference in the world for the quality of our existence.  Learning how to be happy means learning how to be grateful.  A thankful heart is a happy heart.

Attention has expansive power.  What we focus on expands in our consciousness.  Thankful people focus on the things they’re thankful for.  This gratitude consciousness actually amplifies and even creates the positive outcomes that are latent in the circumstances or our lives.  Thankfulness is among the most important disciplines for a fulfilled, purposeful, happy life.
