Unlocking the Incredible Regenerative Power of Gratitude
How to make gratitude a way of life.
Thanksgiving Day is observed in the United States annually on the fourth Thursday in November. Yesterday marked another of such days, and similar days are observed in several other countries worldwide. Beyond the aroma of roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, and the many delicacies shared on this day between families and loved ones, it is a day for deep reflection on the many blessings of the year and one to express profound gratitude.
“A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue but the parent of all the other virtues.” — Marcus Tullius Cicero.
Therefore you might have thought I picked out-of-place topics for Thanksgiving week if you listened to my interviews this week. On Tuesday, I talked with NYU Stern School of Business professor Scott Galloway about why America is Adrift. And yesterday, I spoke to psychologist, author, and grief advocate Dr. Sherry Walling about the emotions that come from loss and the grieving process.
Both are about gratitude for what we have and often take for granted and hope for a more promising future. I picked these episodes intentionally because both had underlying themes of regeneration.
