Grateful Expectations

Grit and determination to change your habits can only get you so
far... if you want to be happier you have to stop and think about
how nice people have been to you and how nice you can be to them
in return. This circle of gratitude - the science suggests - will
also make you a better friend to one of the most important people
in your life... your future self.

University's Prof David DeSteno - author of Emotional Success:
The Power of Gratitude, Compassion and Pride.
