Gratitude is not just an emotion but a choice to focus on the things we're thankful for, even when we don't feel like it. We don't have to live by our feelings, but by our convictions and beliefs.

Follow your heart, not others' expectations: Choose based on personal fulfillment, not external pressures or financial gains. Pursue your passions, even if it means criticism or uncertainty.
