Gratitude vs being grateful

He keeps a gratitude log a journal but he is not grateful, lives in a lovely home in a beautiful area, loving wife, great kids, money in the bank, some investments, he's healthy.... but always anxious. Always comparing to others, always needing more... never stops to look and appreciate what he has... RIGHT NOW. There's so much written by the experts about morning rand evening rituals and generally part of that is doing a gratitude journal. However in talking to this guy it was apparent that there's a difference between keeping a gratitude journal and being grateful. Just sitting and thinking... "I'm pretty damn lucky and this is pretty damn good and I'm pretty damn happy, I am pretty damn grateful for what I have right now."  There's a sky rocking epidemic of anxiety that's been written about in numerous best selling books in recent times. I heard anxiety described as the intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations (and the future). Yes keep a journal, and when you are done writing, look at the page, think about it, breathe and think... am I really grateful?  Thanks Marcos Paulo Prado for the photo. GB
