Learning to be Thankful can be the key to lifelong happiness. Thankfulness is a learned behavior that teaches us to look for things in our lives and environment. Adults who are aware of things they are thankful for usually have a positive outlook on their lives and interactions with others.

Fear. How many of our decisions are driven by this unpleasant emotion that often controls our lives? Afraid of seeing the doctor about a persistent cough, fearing a terminal diagnosis. Afraid of telling our adult children what we actually want, because it may hurt their feelings.
