Gratitude
Positive psychologist, Martin Seligman, has found that people are happiest when using their strengths. Grateful youth are happier and more satisfied with their lives, friends, family, neighborhood, and selves, than less grateful youth – according to research. Gratitude, however, cannot be imposed – it must be cultivated from within.
