Remember always to be grateful. If you are sad or mad, think of something you want a lot like on your happiest birthday, so I recommend you to always be happy and be grateful for the things you have.

Gratitude helps us be thankful for what we have and makes us feel lucky for it. On the other hand, we often think about what we don’t have and that makes us feel unlucky.

Gratitude is a way to show how much you appreciate something that someone does for
you. Gratitude is not only a feeling, it is something you need to practice. It is a way to explain how you feel. We should show gratitude every day.
โAlicia Polo
Gratitude is super healthy for your health and mine too! Just getting a compliment makes you feel grateful, right? If it does, show gratitude back to that person by saying โthank you.โ Did you know practicing gratitude may improve our mood, help our relationships, or even lead to better physical health? It helps us focus on the positive not on the negative.
