What People are Saying About Gratitude
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”
~ William Arthur Ward (American dedicated scholar, author, editor, pastor and teacher)
“Gratitude helps you to grow and expand; gratitude brings joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around you.”
~ Eileen Caddy (Scottish Writer and Spiritual leader. Findhorn community co-founder)
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
~ Melody Beattie
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.”
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
“Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy—because we will always want to have something else or something more.”
~ Brother David Steindl-Rast
“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.”
~ Denis Waitley
So you’re saying that the simple act of expressing gratitude for a minute a day makes me healthier, happier and wiser? You got to be kidding right?
No, we’re serious!
Check out these amazing studies on the power of gratitude.
Gratitude leads to Better Health
People who kept gratitude journals on a weekly basis exercised more regularly, reported fewer physical symptoms, felt better about their lives as a whole, and were more optimistic about the upcoming week compared to those who recorded hassles or neutral life events
~ Emmons & McCullough, 2003
“Call it corny, but gratitude just may be the glue that holds society together.” Gratitude needn’t be directed at another person to hit its mark. Take just a few minutes each day to jot down things that make you thankful, from the generosity of friends to the food on your table or the right to vote. After a few weeks, people who follow this routine “feel better about themselves, have more energy and feel more alert”.
“Gratitude Increases Happiness by 25%”
A possible answer comes from recent research in the psychology of gratitude. Yes, you read that correctly—being thankful might be the key to raising your happiness ‘set-point’. And there is some good experimental evidence to back up this theory.
~ PsyBlog
