Gratitude

Over more recent years, I have come to realise how important gratitude is and more importantly how powerful it is. 

I encourage you to develop an "attitude of gratitude." So many positive things happen to me in the course of a day - even small things - that I always say "thank you" to the universe, no matter how small the gift.  I feel that it is a blessing that has been given to me and I shouldn’t abuse it.

"Thank you" is such a simple phrase.  Sadly, I hear fewer and fewer people using the thank you words. Fortunately, the lovely phrase ‘You’re welcome’ still prevails in most of the Asian cultures. Good manners cost nothing and they have a profound positive impact and effect on people who receive those words.  It’s like a two-way gift.
