Gratitude is a choice. Gratitude is the act (and the feeling) of thankfulness for a gift. The

most happy and successful people are keenly aware that life—and everything in it—is

undeserved. They see themselves as blessed and fortunate, and they practice the

attitude of gratitude. The foundation for gratitude is a belief or perception that we’re

fortunate. That positive awareness results in a feeling of gratefulness, a lighter spirit,

and willingness to give to others.
