Gratitude

If our ultimate goal is for our kids to lead a meaningful and joyous life, Gratitude may well be the superpower of superpowers to help them achieve it.

In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.

Gratitude is the having of genuine appreciation and thankfulness of life, and especially an outward appreciation expressed toward others.

Gratitude leads to many desired outcomes, including increased energy, greater success in achieving goals, better physical health, better coping of stress, higher feelings of self-worth, and a greater sense of purpose.

We view Gratitude as a value providing momentum to a virtuous cycle. Grateful people experience more positive emotions. They thereby present in the world as being happier, more content, and optimistic. This energy attracts more positive interactions into their lives, thus providing more things to be grateful for. It's a powerful cycle.
