#403 Gratitude: The Secret Ingredient of Greatness [Encore]

One of the greatest paradoxes in American life is a Thursday dedicated to quiet gratitude followed by a Friday dedicated to a frenzied pursuit of more. In the midst of a mental health crisis and a quickly changing world, Scripture calls us to an often forgotten, daily practice that demands attention more than one day a year. Here’s why gratitude is the secret ingredient to greatness and how to practice it in your life and sphere of influence.

• It’s not an option.
• It prevents Friday frenzy.
• It’s the secret sauce.
• It comes in daily doses.

Key Takeaways:

• “The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts.  No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.”  ~H.U. Westermayer
• Great question from Michael Hyatt, “What does this make possible?”
• Practical ideas for practicing gratitude.
• You learn what you need to learn and you change what you need to change to do what you want to do.
• Lessons from Victor Frankel, Corrie Ten Boom, and Winston Churchill.
