I found a great Gratitude app on the iPhone. While I’m still getting in the habit of using it every day, I’m already reaping the benefits. It’s a great reminder that no matter how ordinary the day may have been, there are many, many things to be grateful for.

Pete, I feel for you. There are many lonely people out there. Try befriending someone who appears lonelier than you are. Volunteer at a shelter, a soup kitchen, a nursing home, a natural disaster crisis center, etc. Become a Big Brother. Your presence and your services are greatly needed and appreciated at these places. By getting out of your comfort zone and looking to the needs of others rather than focusing on your loneliness, you will find that you are no longer as lonely and discontent. You will discover a purpose for living beyond fulfilling your own needs, and in the process you will become more content and develop an “Attitude of Gratitude.”

“Yet, we live in a culture that preaches discontent. A consumer culture will always attack gratitude. If they can sow seeds of discontent in our lives, they can sell us on their new product line or latest version with new improvements.”

You are so right!!

If we can learn this lesson, the world will be a much happier, more contented place. Great article!
