As Thanksgiving rolls around, Iâm hopping on the gratitude train, but with a twist. In addition to the usual list, Iâm also sharing the less obvious things Iâm thankful for this year.
The Obvious Things
Family: My Forever Team
From my amazing wife and daughters to my extended family, they keep me grounded and remind me of my roots. Theyâre my biggest fans and toughest criticsâplus, we added a dog to the mix, who thankfully isnât a critic! đ
Health: The Ultimate Gift
Clear thinking, free movement, and showing up every day are gifts I cherish. Health is like Wi-Fiâyou donât realize its importance until itâs gone. Hereâs to more water, lifting heavy, and fewer late-night snacks (mostly).
Clients: The Entrepreneurs Who Inspire
To my ambitious and creative clients: Youâre why I love what I do. You challenge me to think bigger and work smarter. Watching you grow is incredibly inspiring.
The Less Obvious Things
Daily Challenges: Lessons in Disguise
Running a business and coaching isnât always easy, but every challenge teaches me something new. These are my secret weapons for growth, even when frustrating.
Motivation to Improve: The Invisible Fuel
The voice that says, âYou can do better,â gets me out of bed and keeps me chasing big goals. Itâs a reminder that thereâs always room to grow, and Iâve fallen in love with the journey.
Power of Choice: The Gift of Freedom
Iâm grateful for the ability to choose what I work on, where, and with whom. Itâs a privilege not everyone has, and Iâm thankful for the opportunities it brings.
Gratitude isnât just a Thanksgiving traditionâitâs a mindset shift. Focusing on what you do have creates space for abundance and joy.
Now itâs your turn: Whatâs one thingâobvious or less obviousâthat youâre grateful for right now? Let me know in the comments. Iâd love to hear it. -
