Everything great that occurs in this world is the final result of a chain. Regardless the size, every event has a history of activity. Regrettably, most of us are incognizant of the many great chains in our lives.
Think about the last time you opened up a can of beans. Did you consider who planted them, harvested them, packed them, transported them, stocked them, and distributed them to you? Here’s the reaction I most frequently get when I ask that question, "ahhh, nope." We simply open the can, toss the beans on our plate, put them in the microwave, grab a fork, and begin eating them as soon as the plate is place on the table. We don’t find the chain, we just view the beans.
My mom recognizes about beans, and she realizes the chain: my mother harvested beans living in Maine. During the summertime my mother and her sis would walk down the hill from their house to the river, pay 10 cents for somebody to ferry them over the river in a rowboat, and then go to the bus that would take them to the place where the beans were raised. My mother would spend all day in the raging sun harvesting string beans, taking in 10 bucks per week. Then the beans were rinsed, packed, and transported to nearby groceries.
So when my mother sits to eat string beans, she values the chain. Her cognizance of all the individuals and effort that it takes to get beans from where they're grown to her plate makes her feel thankful. And that’s a great thing. Appreciation is among the most powerful psychological contributors to felicity.
A psychology professor demonstrated in his research that thankful individuals are more pleased. The innovational research has demonstrated that thankful individuals experience greater levels of positive emotions like joy, exuberance, love, felicity, and optimism, and that the practice of Appreciation as a discipline protects an individual from the destructive impulses of enviousness, bitterness, greed, and resentment.
