Last month, I commented on how there are way too many negative people in this world. In an attempt to balance that, I decided to start tweeting three things I am grateful for everyday – whether it was something big or small.
Doing this has really helped me to appreciate the little things in life. I am now more appreciative of the things I have, rather than what I don’t have, which makes me an overall happy person.
Listed below are my tweets from the last couple weeks since I decided to do them. Try doing this (you don’t have to post it, write it in a notebook if you’d rather keep it to yourself) and I promise, you will have a whole new outlook on life.
