Question

You had better learn to be grateful. If you are grateful, you naturally       yourself up to receive all kinds of blessings and good things in life. You can receive almost everything you want     . If you want recovery soon, start by feeling grateful that you are still       . If it is more money that you want, start being grateful for whatever       of money you already have.

You see, showing gratitude(感恩) is the key to every       thing in life. It is the key to successful relationships, it is the key to successful futures and it is the key to      healthier and happier lives. And this is where the importance of being grateful lies.      , it makes life better.

One of my favorite      is “If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have, you will find yourself having more to appreciate.” Think about that!

Something as       as a “Thank you for being in my life” or “I       having you here with me”, can go a long way. It will make the other person feel good, and       it also will make you feel better!

So maybe your wife is not very       around the house, but she’s great at cooking your favorite       . Or, maybe your child       milk all over your new shirt right before you walked out the door for work, but usually he makes you laugh so much and makes you       the luckiest parent in the world.

I strongly      you to make a promise to yourself for the next week. Decide to       every morning and think of at least 5 things that you are      for. Then say them out loud. You will notice a smile on your face without even      . In 30 days you will feel completely renewed. This is the       of being grateful!
