If you doubt the transformative power of gratitude, try this experiment. Pick anything in your life that is a source of dissatisfaction. Maybe it’s your old smartphone with its bad battery, your junky car, or a less-than-satisfying job. Now make it a practice over the next few days to express heartfelt thanks for your phone, car, job, or anything else in your life. Be thankful that you have a phone, or a car, or a job. Millions of people don’t have any of these things. So take time this week, as the old hymn exhorts, to “count your blessings.” Then sit back and watch the psychological magic do its work. Notice, when you count your blessings, how a source of dissatisfaction is transformed into a location of joy. Now imagine extending this thankfulness across every sphere of your life. Imagine what it would be like to experience everything in life—every moment, every possession, every task, every relationship—as gift and grace. It would be absolutely transformative. No wonder gratitude makes people happy.
