    • "No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks".

Gratitude can help make you more likeable…Those who are more grateful have access to a wider social network, more friends, and better relationships on average (Amin, 2014). This is likely because of the effect that being grateful has on how trustworthy, social, and appreciative we seem to others. Feeling grateful helps us reflect on our relationships and leads us to feel closer and more connected to others. Retrieved from:  https://greatergood.berkeley.e...
