Gratitude is a key factor in achieving happiness and creating a fulfilling life. We are the authors of our own story, writing our own script. When we practice gratitude daily, our thoughts begin to shift as neurons respond to this consistent and disciplined effort. Neurons that wire together fire together and this new thought pattern of gratitude and positivity can actually be seen on an fMRI brain scan. Being grateful in advance for what we already have attracts more goodness to our lives . . . people, money, travel, and many other opportunities. It comes down to simply surviving life or living it to its fullest . . .
