What Is gratitude in your own opinion?

Gratitude is a state of being appreciative, thankful or grateful for a favour or a request met.

Gratitude is one of the very best virtues to inculcate into this growing generation. The act of showing gratitude and saying thank you for little gestures can be seen as politeness and possession of good moral standards.

Why Does Gratitude Matter?

Gratitude matters alot especially when cohabitating or socializing with others and as humans or social beings there are many instances that we would have to interact with others.

Here are some instances that express the relevance of gratitude;

  • Gratitude is seen as a good moral and it's lack especially for favours met can be counted as arrogance or bad manners on our path.

  • Gratitude gives the person on the receiving end a sense of worth and a feeling of being appreciated.

  • Gratitude increases our chances of getting more favours from the other person. We always feel good when our efforts are appreciated and we are more willing to do more under such condition.

  • Gratitude to our creator gives peace of mind and prompts contentment within us.

  • Gratitude to our partners or friends in a relationship helps build, grow and maintain such relationships.

  • Gratitude even to the little ones, teaches them to be grateful and express this gratefulness.

We should always learn to express gratitude however we can for even the littlest favours. People go to many heights to ensure we are okay.

Especially our parents, they go to tremendous heights and make lots of sacrifices to keep us healthy and safe. We should always take out time to appreciate them for all they do.

Our friends, teachers, siblings, relatives, course mates, a simple thank you can make their day.

How often do you show Gratitude? (give instances)

I try to show gratitude as much as I can. This is because I know how satisfying it feels seeing your work being recognised and appreciated. Seeing your efforts being commended can be a bliss.

Gratitude is not only something we received from others but what we express ourselves. I always say thank you especially to my parents.

Ones in a while, I take time to send text messages to my mum and dad expressing my appreciation for all the do. This helps me as well to recognise all they do for me and thrive to do better in order to make them proud

How Can you Make Gratitude a Habit, And how do you inculcate it in young ones?

This can be done by making a mental note to always say thank you. The more you try to frequently express gratitude the more it tends to become a part of you and eventually begins to appear more in your daily language.

For the younger ones, showing gratitude to them for the little things they do will teach them to reciprocate it. Little children mainly learn from what they hear adults say so adding appreciative words to your daily interactions especially with them can go a long way.

Greetings friend! The attitude of thankfulness fundamentally alters how we perceive our surroundings. Instead of focusing on what we lack, it encourages us to enjoy the richness that surrounds us. It so broadens our investment view, making us feel better and with more potential. Furthermore, thankfulness increases happiness and well-being, both of which have been linked to improved physical and mental health. You submitted a lovely entry with a lot of interesting facts. I wish you tremendous success and good luck.

Thank you very much for reading through and dropping this nice comment. Indeed thankfulness and gratitude changes the way we see things but within and around us.
