Tweetable Quotes:

“So what is gratitude? It's readiness to show appreciation and return kindness to somebody else.” – Stephanie Reed

“That [facing challenging struggles] is a real part of the process when you're going through trials of that nature. And I just want you to know that if that's where you are, that's okay. What's important is that you don't stay there. Try to do one thing.” – Suzi Hanson

“It's not about you being grateful, because you have happiness and joy, you first show gratitude, and that produces the gift of joy. And the more that you show gratefulness, the more you live out joy.” – Stephanie Reed

“When we talk about gratitude, it's more about the things that we can notice around us. but a lot of times we forget to notice things inside of other people. And whenever we do that, they start to act out on those things. Because sometimes they don't even know that they are doing it.” – Stephanie Reed
