When I choose to view my life through the lens of gratitude, more beautiful experiences flow into my life to be grateful for.

Specific thanks land differently from general thanks. *Thanks for everything* evaporates on contact. *Thanks for staying late on Thursday, I'd have been stuck* gets remembered, and the person who hears it tends to do it again.

That's the least mysterious part of how this compounds. Noticing produces saying, saying reaches somebody, and somebody keeps turning up. More good things arrive because a real chain got started.

The rest may be a change in what you are able to see, which is no small thing either. Either way it begins with paying attention to what a particular person actually did.
