Gratitude = Joyfulness



You can make two persons happier in the next few minutes!
Simply telephone someone who has blessed and enriched your life and say, "I'm grateful for your friendship." That person will be happier and so will you.
Gratitude works wonders. Have you ever seen a really joyful person who was not filled with gratitude? Have you ever seen a miserable, self-centered person who was truly grateful?
Charles Dickens once wrote: "Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."
It only takes a minute to begin reflecting on our present blessings: the gift of life itself, the warmth of friendships, the riches of good health, the power of love, the glory of a sunrise, the privilege of prayer, the joys of music, the satisfactions of work, the treasures of books, the beauty of art, the miracle of spring, and the grace of God.
Be more grateful and you will become more joyful!
