You probably know of other methods that can help you improve your quality of life. But you know what ties most of these other methods together?
Gratitude.
Saying “thank you” might sound simple enough, but the sad truth is that not a lot of people practice it in real life. So, here are 5 ways gratitude can have a positive impact on your quality of life.
#1. Gratitude makes you happier
When you remember everything you
currently have in your life, it makes you feel good. No matter how little or how
abundant your material or non-material wealth is,
don’t take anything for granted. Be thankful for what you have, there are others out there who aren’t as lucky as you!
#2. Gratitude makes you more likable
Saying thanks to people who make your life easier
by way of a product or service will help boost that person’s morale.
They’ll feel appreciated, and they’ll be bound to try and do their best to be better at their jobs. When people like and appreciate you, they
tend to be more trusting and open which results in better relationships with everyone!
#3. Gratitude makes you less self-centered
You probably dislike self-centered people.
These are people who think of nothing but themselves and feel entitled to everything they can get their hands on. They have no regard for others, even if they’re stepping on someone’s toes. When you practice gratitude, you
become aware of the people around you and in
effect, you become more accepting towards others.
#4. Gratitude makes you less envious
Envy is a double-bladed sword. It can be good or bad depending on how much envy you’ve got running in your system.
It’s good if you can use it to do productive things, like motivating you to try and do something better with your life. But it’s bad if you let it take control – feelings of insecurity and inferiority can literally destroy your happiness. So, practice gratitude and be happy for those who are more successful than you.
#5. Gratitude makes you more optimistic
Without feelings of envy, you can
clearly see the path you need to take, so you too can succeed. When you make gratitude a habit, you see the silver lining in everything. It makes you more optimistic and gives you a more
positive outlook in life!

Oh this is such a fact! Gratitude is one of the greatest virtue a gentleman or lady can possess, But its just not limited to courtesy but its related to success as well. When we are thankful for everything that we have we actually are focusing on the positive and not the negatives- nagging and fussing for the things that we don’t have. Saying thank you or being thankful from within makes you happy- because you are satisfied from within. Saying thanks helps us see from different lens – lens of others. I have a habit of thanking for each and everything- You know its crazy being thankful to God even for bad things that happened to me helped me see the good part of it, I felt peace and had a much better control over my emotions. Yeah but its not really wise to be thankful to people who have hurted you- but yeah we can forgive them. Gratitude actually helps us not to take the credit all for ourselves. Specially in our career if we are thankful to our customers, clients and our employees – we climb up the ladder of success. We tend to think for others and are liked by others. We are less troubled by jealousy. We can see the positive part of everything around us.
