To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.

There is not a more pleasing exercise of the mind than gratitude. It is accompanied with such an *inward satisfaction that the duty is sufficiently rewarded by the performance. ~Joseph Addison
*Inward Satisfaction- The inner satisfaction we all feel when helping another human being is why we go for it every day
