Everyone knows that gratitude is a good thing but getting there isn’t always easy. How can this be changed? Trying to be grateful doesn’t work, because gratitude is a spontaneous expression. You may say “Thank you” simply as a polite gesture without much feeling behind it, and you know what it’s like to thank someone while feeling very different inside. Spontaneous gratitude comes from the true self, which you contact in meditation. When you feel an impulse of sheer, open-hearted gratitude, you are expressing your true self, which means that you are closer to your source. To experience deeper, unbounded gratitude, have a good look at this detailed guide from Deepak Chopra.
