Tip # 17 - Be thankful.
Grateful people are happy people. And happy people are grateful people. Without exception. Cultivating a spirit of gratitude is a potently positive action. It changes our perspective, our feelings, our responses, and our behavior. Oh, and it has a marvelous effect on our surroundings, too!
I recommend making it a habit to not only frequently list things for which you are thankful, but also to thank God for His generous gifts and to thank other people, too. First, thank the Lord. Then express thanks - in person, on the phone, and, my personal fav, in a note, to someone else. Powerful, absolutely powerful.
