#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.
