(1)Psalms 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.(kjv)
When God created us He put in us a heart of praise
Lets read it
Isaiah 43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.(kjv)
For futher reading (psalms8:2,)
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:(kjv)
If you are not praiseful its either you are alive or you are satanic

Your praise is a proof that you are still alive
Your praise is a proof that you want to remain alive
When you praise you glorify God

When you praise you give house to God
When you praise you God, you mock the devil
To be unpraiseful is to be ungrateful
And as long as you are ungrateful,greatness is far from you
