In Eat the Cookie, Buy the Shoes, Joyce says to have an attitude of gratitude. Your attitude shows a lot about your character as well as about other people's character. There is no good from an attitude of entitlement. When something good happens (ie. progress in anything) be grateful for it. Joyce reminds us to look at how far we have come in reaching a goal and not how much farther we have to go. Celebrate the progress.
When we do have progress we can celebrate by giving to others. It always feels good to give to the poor or take a friend out to lunch. It's a treat for them and for you. Another way is to show appreciation. A "thank you" is nice but there are other ways to show your thankfulness. Try doing something nice for that person or praising their good works in front of others. To close, Joyce says "Giving brings joy to us and is a blessing to others."
