“Send Coach John a message”

I found two things about Gratitude that got me thinking a bit more about the importance of it in my life. The first connection came from my friend Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) “A message for today … Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything feels good—it’s about honoring the full journey, even the hard parts.” In his post he goes on to share the connection that gratitude is part of appreciating the journey that we are in and realizing that if we keep going through the tough moments - we will eventually connect with how those tough moments will help us do more with our purpose. It will keep giving us more tools to fill in the gaps that help us and our lives, go in the direction we want it to go. The key is to understand this connection. The second connecting piece of gratitude I found was from Drew Maddux (@DrewMaddux) where he gave this intro thought: “When we feel deeply thankful, we naturally take actions that create more to be grateful for. What's one thing you're truly grateful for today?” This is a huge connection for me to having action taking being part of gratitude. Here is the post that Drew shared: “True gratitude isn’t just a mental exercise - it’s a full-body experience that propels action.” I really never saw the direct link to having gratitude and putting it into action! Powerful for me to find it and I hope equally powerful for me sharing it with you so that you can make a connection to these that you get fired up over! Thanks for listening.
