What We're Grateful For at Leadership Vision in 2018

Today on the Leadership Vision Podcast, we’re talking about Gratitude. It’s Thanksgiving week in the United States and a natural time to experience gratitude. Getting together with family while eating too much rich food often leads to reflecting on the ways our lives have changed over the previous 365 days. This is a practice we’ve done in my family for as long as I can remember.

Reflection is a powerful process that reminds us of the good things and teaches us something about the bad. Best selling author Melody Beattie says that “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

So today on the Leadership Vision Podcast we’re taking a little break from talking about the implementation and practice of Strengths. Instead, I’ve asked our team to briefly reflect on their year and share a few things they are grateful for in 2018. They each wrote something and then recorded it on whatever recording device they could find.

What are you Thankful For?

As you reflect on this past year, what are the things in your life that you need to express appreciation and gratitude for? Over the next 30 days, I encourage you to carve out some time to sit down and literally write them out. Maybe list some of the major highs for the year, and really celebrate those. Even small things should be celebrated! And also, reflect on the lows. Because even with those things that don’t go the way we had planned, there’s an opportunity for learning, and using those lesson to move closer to whatever it is we consider our life goals, is kind of a blessing. As always, if there’s anything we can do to be of service on your Strengths or life journey, contact us! We’re always happy to help.
