About This Quote

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough. This quote is much more than just saying to be grateful for the things that you already have. It is saying that if you dwell on the negative (and there are many people who do), you will not be happy.

The reason to be grateful is because it will make your life better. When you are grateful to others, they tend to be more generous with their gifts and help. When you think about what you don't have (a stable life, a loving family to support), it can make you feel like everything is out of control.

But when you think about what you do have (a roof over your head, the ability to eat and drink), it makes it much easier to move forward in life.
