Description

In this mini Thanksgiving episode, I take a deeper look at gratitude — not as a mood or a feeling, but as a virtue that shapes your entire life.

Most people wait to “feel grateful” before they practice gratitude. But that’s backward. Gratitude is a choice, a discipline, and one of the most reliable ways to build joy, resilience, and long-term success.

I break down how gratitude interacts with the cardinal virtues, why entitlement destroys happiness, and how simple, deliberate acts of gratitude can lift your attitude the same way sunlight breaks through after a long storm.

If you’ve been tired, discouraged, or struggling to see the good — this episode will help reset your perspective.

Happy Thanksgiving.
