“Gratitude is the most powerful correlate of happiness. When we’re feeling grateful, our body calms, and we feel at peace in all realms of our lives. It’s impossible to feel grateful and stressed at the same time.”

Thankfulness is an emotional response to a temporary circumstance. Gratitude includes being thankful, but goes beyond it – it is an attitude of appreciation under all circumstances. Gratitude is the expression of thankfulness and appreciation of life daily. It’s a state of being – even if you’re unhappy, you can still experience gratitude.
