I feel that when we express and feel gratitude, we open ourselves up to more abundance. Appreciating what we have and releasing the restrictions of disgruntlement enable us to welcome in more of what we want.

By appreciating life you don't walk through it half-asleep. You have to be awake, and if you're awake then you're making active choices about your life, which can only improve it.

Great points. "For one thing, being unappreciative doesn’t help things change." Indeed. One of the reasons it's difficult to be appreciative is because it demands humility. And humility takes work.

Great points.

“For one thing, being unappreciative doesn’t help things change.”

Your perception of events is entirely up to you. You just need to decide whether to feel good about what you have, or dwell on what you don’t have." That resonates well with Buddhist teachings. Being grateful allows you to control your perceived lot in life. You can either choose to be unappreciative and miserable, or you can choose to be grateful and enjoy life. “But aside from that, being grateful just makes life feel better.
