You're in a storm. It's Thanksgiving week. And you're asking yourself: "What am I supposed to be thankful for?"

In this deeply personal Thanksgiving episode, I share three daily practices that eliminate anxiety, the brutal truth about chasing material things, and why your current storm might be exactly what you need to become who you're meant to be.

🎧 IN THIS EPISODE:

✓ Why being alive today is the first blessing to acknowledge

✓ The scripture-based practice that eliminates anxiety about bills and the future

✓ Why "the Joneses" are broke—and why you need to stop comparing yourself

✓ How a business insurance challenge costing tens of thousands refocused my life

✓ Why God's timing is always perfect (even when life feels overwhelming)

✓ What 51 years taught me about money, happiness, and self-worth

✓ Why your life is about serving others, not accumulating possessions

✓ How to be thankful FOR the storm, not just through it

🙏 THE 3 DAILY PRACTICES:

1. Wake up every morning and thank God for another day

2. Read scripture daily to start your day (it eliminates anxiety)

3. Be grateful for the blessings you already have

💭 POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:

"God doesn't have a plan A, B, and C for you. The only reason why things change is because you screwed it up or I screwed it up. God's will and direction is his will and direction, and that's why his timing is always perfect."

"Your storm is gonna be the best story and the best comeback that you get to share with others going through that same period in their life."

"Money doesn't solve your happiness. It solves problems, but it doesn't solve your happiness. What solves our happiness is giving to others, being at service to others."

"It has taken me 51 years to realize that it's not about me. It's about serving others and taking care of others that need help."
