Gratitude and How to Develop It

Gratitude can mean a lot of things—it can be an emotion, a state of being, or a deed. It can be something you feel towards yourself, another person, or God. It can even be something you give or share to express your appreciation. Whatever the reason for your gratitude, the result always boils down to one thing: a happier and more satisfying life. Research indicates that being in a state of gratitude is one of the most effective ways to live a happier and more meaningful life.
