The secret of happiness? Gratitude.
Turns out the simple act of saying ‘thank you’ can increase a person’s happiness by nearly 20%.
Soul Pancake (the people behind the fabulous Kid President videos), have made this short video in which they asked a group of people to write a letter to someone who’d had a great affect on their lives.
They were then asked to call that person and read them the letter.
Cue: awkward. Followed by lots of tears, smiles and heart-warming-up moments. The video has gone viral.
This is just the thing you need to get through a Monday morning.
Who would you call to thank if you had the chance? Do you agree it is the secret of happiness?

What a lovely message. I always make a conscious effort to thank people and wish them a great day, just as much for my benefit as theirs. The small things in life are the ones that matter. It's too easy to get caught up in the materialistic side of life. Thank you Mamamia for posting!
"We would worry less if we praised more . Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction. " Developing "an attitude of gratitude" is one of my most serious practices .........it works.
