Gratitude is something that makes us celebrate the present moment. In a way, it reminds us of what we own and about the things we are proud of.

There is one beautiful quote by Oprah Winfrey, which I often hear, and is designed precisely for this.

Be thankful for what you have; you will end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.

Be thankful and shift your focus. Those who follow the law of attraction are already well acquainted with this.

Will a man be happier if he has more money than enough? Science says he will not be happier if he has more than necessary. But of course, happiness is reduced if there is less than enough.

If the focus remains on the problem, how will we find the solution? We often waste our energy on thinking about the problem and worrying for hours, instead of taking action to overcome it. A person feels fulfilled and happy only if he is productive and he works on his own happiness.
