Want to be happy? Start with being grateful. Being cynical and unappreciative is like ingesting a poison yourself and expecting others to die. Often this happens when we just take for granted all the blessings we do have. So take a look at your life, try to see it with new eyes, like you're seeing and experiencing it for the first time and you too will find some blessings to be grateful for that you've likely forgotten about.
