"We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we refuse to remain in the ream of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts and attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues."
-President Thomas S. Monson
Gratitude is such an important thing to have. We have all been given so much and are so blessed and we need to be grateful. Heavenly Father blesses us daily and we need show that we care about the blessings that we have been given. It can be hard to think about all of the things that we don't have rather than the things we do have, but I know that when we show our gratitude it makes Heavenly Father glad to see that we are grateful for the things we have.
It can be hard to be positive about everything, especially if it is something that you do not like. I have found though that if I go into a situation with a positive attitude, regardless of the thoughts I have had or things I have heard previously, I am more likely to be able to get through the hard times and enjoy them more than I would have thought I could. If you start out with a negative attitude, it is going to be really hard to get rid of that feeling. So even if it is not something you enjoy, you might as well start out positive and I guarantee that you will have a better experience than if you started out negative.
