Start with yourself. I'm grateful for my health, my family, my job, my friends, my apartment, my cat, my food, my body, and the fact that I'm not starving or homeless. I'm grateful for the things I have, and I'm grateful for the things I don't have.
For example: I've learned to be grateful for my health. I know that I have a good life. I have health, friends, and family. I have a roof over my head. I have food to eat. I have a TV, and a car, and I can take a bus, and I can use the internet, and I can send an email, and I can go on Facebook.

Why is that?
If we have the things we want, we can’t be grateful for the things we have. Why is it difficult to be grateful? Gratitude is a gift we give ourselves. It’s not easy to be grateful. When we experience something good, we want to share it with others. We want to thank those who have helped us and to let them know how much they mean to us. The problem is that we don’t always recognize the blessings in our lives. We may not feel grateful until we get a better job, or when we make more money. It’s important to be grateful, but why is it difficult? When we are experiencing something good, we feel happy and relieved. We are overwhelmed with gratitude and happiness. But as soon as we begin to reflect on the things that are going wrong, we become overwhelmed with the things we wish we could change. We begin to think about all the things we would like to change in our lives. We are angry because of the things we don’t have. We don’t want to be grateful.
This is important because we often think that things will always be the same. For example, when we were young, we always thought that things would be the same. We always thought that our families would always be there for us. We always thought that our friends would always be there for us. We always thought that our jobs would always be there for us. We always thought that our houses would always be there for us. We always thought that our cars would always be there for us. Don't take things for granted. This is important because it's a human trait to take things for granted.
Compared to how you feel when you are unhappy or angry, gratitude is an easy emotion to feel. It’s an emotion that you can easily bring to your awareness. When you are grateful, you are acknowledging the things you appreciate in your life. You are appreciating the gifts in your life. You are acknowledging the things that make you happy.
