Episode 6 Magnitude of Gratitude
In this week's episode, we discuss gratitude (gratefulness; appreciation). As leaders, faith based entrepreneurs, and Kingdom warriors, we should lead the charge in expressing gratitude.
Gratitude is not just a feeling; it is a practice. I have started journaling again and I have found that starting off my day with introspecting on blessings, and simple things in life sets the tone for the entire day. Am I perfect at it? Oh, no way! Check out in our favorite App store the 5mG App for a quick and easy way to journal about what you are grateful for. Or, you can use artifacts like pencil and paper!
As entrepreneurs and leaders, we need to realize that expressing gratitude can actually help the business's bottom line. When we appreciate team members it directly affects their mindset, and consequently work product. Many employees feel under or unappreciated at the workplace.

In fact, in an article published by HR Dive (Sept 11, 2018) (https://www.hrdive.com/news/words-of-affirmation-top-remote-and-onsite-workers-reward-preference/531896/), many workers prefer words of affirmation over monetary reward as a driver.
In a Harvard Health article published in November of 2011, "In Praise of Gratitude," researchers found that "In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships."
Of course, we are not saying that gratitude is a means to profit. No. Gratitude is an end in and of itself. Expressing gratitude actually meets several of the six human needs (you'll have to listen to check these out). The net effect is happier employees and a healthier business. Gratitude truly is a powerful virtue.
God has blessed us (and continues to bless) with life, and freedom. When we realize that he is in control of all things we are truly set free!
