Take this test: Express gratefulness for the opportunities, advantages and blessings you have in life. Say it out loud or write a list. Be specific and name names. Now, try to be unhappy. Conjure up some negative thoughts and feelings. Work up to a foul mood. What you’ll find is that you can’t do it. Astonishingly, a person cannot be unhappy and grateful at the same time. When you confront unhappiness, yours or from others, the antidote is gratefulness.
