In 2018, Tim had a very bad day at work. He was a manager, and his team was unhappy. He felt very stressed and tired. While walking home, he saw a round metal cover on the street. He stopped and thought, "It is cool that these are round." Suddenly, his mood changed. He realized he had a special habit. He calls it an "addiction to appreciation." Appreciation is different from gratitude. Gratitude happens when someone gives you a gift. Appreciation happens when you notice good things around you. It is a constant habit. You can appreciate simple things, like a light bulb. You can also appreciate difficult people by trying to understand their life. Tim started sharing this idea online. Millions of people watched his videos. He says appreciation gives him energy and joy. It helps him enjoy life more. If you look for the good in the world every day, you will be happier too.
