With our hectic work and family lives, we can easily forget to be grateful for what we already have. Cultivating and expressing gratitude can have a very positive effect on personal well-being, happiness, optimism and empathy. Check out this five-minute, beautifully photographed video which may help you stop focusing so much on what you want and to start feeling gratitude for what you already have. Then pass it on!
