Gratitude shifts the conversation and elevates the moment. Instead of focusing on what went wrong, saying 'Thanks' allows us to appreciate the other person's kindness and patience, helping us feel positive about a delay or mistake we’ve made.


"When you say 'Thanks,' you empower both yourself and others to focus on positivity."

Sheryl Sandberg
