A3) I used to have anger issues & realized that it was often triggered by my failed expectations of others. I convinced myself that no one owes me ANYTHING & my expectations were of my own making. Now, I accept people and the things they do as a blessing or a lesson. #SocialCafe

@ThiamMeka2Gogue @socialwebcafe You are sooooo right, Thiam - thank you! #SocialCafe

Q4 Do you think it is helpful to adopt an attitude of gratitude all the time, or as a way of living life? Why or why not?#SocialCafe#Gratitude https://t.co/X8RkdbY61a

— Deborah, Pro Videographer, #SocialCafe Host(@socialwebcafe)

To me, it means finding things every day that we appreciate and not taking them for granted. And that there are always things to appreciate. A3 #SocialCafe https://t.co/0AMYsIvaQ0

— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

A4 I realize not everyone would agree with me (and I wouldn’t want that because we are all different, for which I am thankful :D ) but I personally like the idea of living a life of thankfulness, every day, and strive to do that. #SocialCafe#Gratitude

— Deborah, Pro Videographer, #SocialCafe Host(@socialwebcafe)

@socialwebcafe Words, like kindness, should be shared. I hope you find many of your own. #SocialCafe

How can we think outside the box when it comes to being thankful?#SocialCafe#Gratitude https://t.co/yKGguM1Ict

— #SocialCafe Team(@socialcafechat)

A5 Possibly things like...1) sticky notes on the edge of a computer screen;2) writing it on a whiteboard;3) writing it in lipstick on your bathroom mirror (if you spouse doesn’t mind)... yes, there is a theme here LOL #SocialCafe#Gratitude

— Deborah, Pro Videographer, #SocialCafe Host(@socialwebcafe)

A4. Yes. We can all find something in our lives to be grateful for and that others may be unable to say the same of. I’d highly recommend @garyvee’s book @12andahalfbook if you’re looking for a great resource on gratitude and other emotional intelligence ingredients! #SocialCafe https://t.co/hJVubDlIJ9
