Practice gratitude

Practice gratitude.

— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)

In the book

It helps enormously to keep a running inventory of the happy moments you have already lived, because that is what reminds you, on a grey morning, that there is anything to be grateful for at all; after a good trip with the people you love, sit down together and write the list of the moments you most want to remember. Practicing gratitude is not a slogan but a daily reflection you actually sit down and do. One old and powerful exercise is simply to call to mind, in detail, a single person who was kind to you — a mentor, a parent, a stranger — and to dwell there until the thanks becomes real. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
