A thankful outlook smoothes the rough edges off life.

When my mother passed away I was 20.

Your dreams can be realities. They are the stuff that leads us through life toward great happiness.

What I've learned is there's a scientifically proven phenomenon that's attached to gratitude, and that if you consciously take note of what is good in your life, quantifiable benefits happen.

If I have time to exercise, I do it, but I don't fixate on numbers like weight or waist size. Numbers don't work for me.

I sensed that my life was better when I focused on things that were working as opposed to focusing on the long list that goes wrong, but I wanted to know if there was any validity to that.

'Thank you power' is writing down the moments that are good in your life so that you can go back and reflect on them - so you've got this sort of repository of good stuff in your past.
