Can gratitude really bring happiness?

I understand one thing very well as the days go by. Gratitude is a wonderful thing, meaning we often look for big things to be happy. If we get this thing, we will be happy, if we reach that place, we will find peace. But at the end of the day, we see the things we complain about every day. Many of them may one day be like a dream to us.From my own experience, I can say that after I started being grateful for small things, I understood. My mind feels much lighter.

Like the sunlight on my face in the morning. Seeing my parents smile. A friend's understanding talk or giving me a peaceful sleep on a very tired day. When I feel these things deeply and say Alhamdulillah or blessed me in my heart. Then I feel a peace.It's true, our lives are not always full. There are many shortcomings, many failures, many wars, many hardships. But still, if I learn to value the things that are there, the things that are still in my life, then the weight of the hardships decreases at least a little.

Another thing I noticed. When I practice being grateful, I get much less jealous, depressed, or in a comparison. Because then my mind learns to grasp the small joys of my own life without looking completely at others. It is a habit that can seem very difficult at first. But once it starts, it gradually feels like, really, I am lucky in many ways.So I think gratitude can really bring a great deal of happiness. At least it creates a positive outlook on one's life. And once that is created, no matter how much sadness comes from the mind, it becomes a little easier to handle. Which is very necessary in today's difficult and hectic life.
