During a conversation, someone said to the Greek philosopher Meneden, who lived in the third century BC, "It is a great happiness to get what one wants". The philosopher replied, "It is a greater happiness to be content with what one has."

Have you ever closed your eyes for five minutes and tried to do something? To walk, to watch television or to do something else? Try it now! Do it! Go on, do it! Do something! Is it hard? Is it very difficult? How do you explain the color yellow to someone who was born blind? Would you say the color of the sun? Or the color of daisies? Or the color of leaves in autumn? What if you want to explain the color blue? The color of the sea? The sky? What about the color green, the color of leaves, forests, trees? Have you ever turned off the TV and watched a movie? Go on, do it! Do it! Is it beautiful? Isn't it beautiful? You're probably wondering what they're talking about. Now imagine that you were born unable to speak. Call the person you live with and tell them that today you are going to the movies with your friends from work.

We have so many reasons to be happy, don't we? How lucky we are to be able to see, hear, speak, feel the heat and cold, the softness of a bird's wing, the hardness of a walnut shell. How blessed we are to have feet that can walk, hands that can hold the spoon of food... We have hearts that beat without us thinking, lungs that allow us to breathe. If even a single cell is delayed in doing its job for a single second, there are chain accidents in our body and everything goes astray.

This list could go on and on... Be thankful for your job, your house, your car, your health, your friends, your family, your loved ones. Above all, be thankful that you are reborn and breathe every morning. Gratitude is one of the shortcuts to happiness and the most important one.

The more you give thanks, the more you will be grateful for, the more beautiful it will become.
Now make a list of what you are grateful for. Write it item by item on a white piece of paper. Make new additions to this list every day! For 21 days, read the list morning and evening! Then take a break for 10 days and read it again for 21 days. When you encounter events, situations and people that make you happy and delight you during the day, give thanks for each one of them over and over again. When giving thanks becomes a habit that you do without even realizing it, look how your life will change!

First your positive emotions will increase, then your energy will change and grow. As you focus on what you have, your sense of happiness and peace will increase; your health, healing, abundance, prosperity and awareness will increase... Try it now!here ....
When Tolstoy was asked, "How do you become happy?" he gave the following answer: "By being grateful for what I have and not being sad about what I don't have."
