“Gratitude is a fruit of great cultivation; you do not find it among gross people.”

Samuel Johnson, BOSWELL, Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides [September 20, 1773].

I have been re-reading Think and Grow Rich during the last month, and Napoleon Hill describes thoughts as “seeds” that you nurture and grow with your persistent attention.  It appears that gratitude may be the same — identify the persons, events, and things for which you are grateful each day, and grow your gratitude with persistent time and attention.
