How to Be Grateful
Has your mother or best friend told you that you’re an ungrateful person? ___1___ Do you keep thinking about the things you don’t have, instead of being thankful for what you do have? If so, then you need to work on being a more grateful person.
1. ___2___ This isn’t a religious (宗教的) thing. You don’t have to hold off on noting everything you’re thankful for until Thanksgiving. Every Sunday, get a notebook and sit outside for fifteen minutes while making a list of all of the things you’re thankful for.
2. Be grateful for your friendships. ___3___ You may come to think that your friends are kind and they’re just there, like the couch in your living room. If you take your friends for granted for too long, then they will slowly make their way out of your life.

4. ___5___ Throughout history, imagine how many people have contributed to where you are now. Realizing that you couldn’t be what you are now if it weren’t for all of these people is an important step in being a grateful person.
