Good relationships are the key to our happiness, health, and long, well-lived life.1
We take the time to appreciate these relationships on birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. But, day to day, they’re easy to take for granted.
Neglect can turn into active damage when we’re experiencing stress, pressure, and instability.2
As common as that cycle is, it’s also easy to stop.
Gratitude can nurture and strengthen our relationships. It can remind us why we care about someone and the good qualities they have. It can also encourage us, and someone else, to do things to make our relationship last.3
Most people acknowledge that to some degree.4
Yet, many find it hard to express gratitude beyond “thanks.” That’s especially true between friends and colleagues.4
Sound familiar?
If so, simply having a greater awareness of gratitude can help you express it in more meaningful ways.3 This can make your relationships closer while profoundly enriching your life.

I want to share some important information with you.
Most people assume buying a brand name is the safest bet. But should you apply that same thinking to hiring a financial advisor?
Unfortunately, what you don’t know might prove to be costly for you.
How costly? A 2015 government task force1 estimated the cost at $17 billion dollars per year to Americans. Yes, that’s billions with a “b” — every year.
Avoid a potentially expensive mistake. Get our FREE quick guide to learn how to hire the right type of financial advisor for you.
Or if you’re already working with an advisor, why not double-check that you really understand what’s at risk? Your future is too important.
Warm Regards,
Wyatt Swartz
Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves and spend without fear of bankruptcy. –Fred De Witt Van Amburgh
Gratitude can also yield some of the greatest returns in life the more you expend it.
In fact, your gratitude may brighten someone’s day while making you happier and more optimistic—not just in the moment but for months afterward.1
Over time, gratitude can train your brain to be more sensitive to acts of appreciation. This can improve mental health. It may even give you a greater sense of life satisfaction.2
But, does that really hold up during the crazy times we live in?
Yes.
The reasons why are the focus of this month’s Visual Insights Newsletter. It uncovers the power of gratitude and shares easy ways to be more mindful of gratitude in your daily life.
What do you appreciate in your day-to-day life?
Make a list.
The simple act of gratitude writing can improve your mood and state of mind.3 It can help you be more conscious of what you’re thankful for, so you can express gratitude in the moment and enjoy a happier life.
