The universe is the greatest supporter of gratitude. It is widely believed that one without gratitude creates anomie for oneself. A study at [Berkeley](about:blank) reveals practicing gratitude could improve our mental health, help us appreciate people in our lives, and shift the focus from negative feelings. Maintaining a simple gratitude journal or expressing gratitude more often can set us up for a higher level of consciousness.
[19 Keys](https://www.instagram.com/19_keys/?hl=en) states, "Gratitude is the realization of the contribution of others in maintaining our entity in this universe.” A grateful person carries a positive vibe and becomes a portable bundle of ecstasy. Per 19 Keys, the cosmos rewards the grateful in the following ways.
**Gratitude brings happiness:**
The world becomes a happy place for those who are thankful for little things. 19 Keys states it clearly shows their quality of appreciation they hold for everything they have. In return, grateful people believe in spreading happiness, and since everyone is in their own pursuit of happiness, others get fascinated by these "grateful and delightful souls."
**Gratitude changes mindset:**
"When one carries adulation for everything, one doesn't hold any grudges or malicious feelings for anyone,” 19 Keys states. A grateful person gets rid of all negativity whatsoever.
"Gratitude entirely changes the perspective of a person,” he adds. 19 Keys further says that the mind withdraws itself from unpleasant reactions. While a grateful person becomes serene, contented, and helpful, his ego and selfishness reduce.
**Gratitude brings progression:**
19 Keys says a thankful person brings inevitable progression. Progress is a sure shot reward for grateful people, as they dwell on positivity and take a problem-solving approach. In addition, gratitude brings abundance.
"Abundance brings progress, plus the elated spirit of sharing. An abundant man is progressive, and a progressive man becomes abundant but only if grateful," he concludes.
