Greatness Every Day

E21: I'M GRATEFUL FOR MY FATHER • I’m grateful for my father. It’s his birthday day and I’m grateful for him because he’s been a strong example of what a man should be and someone that I really look up to. We have a lot of similarities and a lot of differences.

.

My favourite memories with him are playing ball hockey, going to live sporting events, and just joking around. He’s the guy that everyone around our town knows. It’s hard to go anywhere with him and not have him end up talking to someone that he knows (or someone he doesn’t know… haha). He’s a silent leader and I still have a lot to learn from him.

.

I know that the topic of fathers can be a tough one. Some of you have had similar experiences to me, some of you don’t know your fathers, and some of you wish you hadn’t. We need way more men who stand up for what’s right and aren’t afraid to be examples for the younger generation. I hope that we all have father

I think that the people we have in our lives help us in two ways.

.

The first is that we are lucky to have people who are good influences. Those people encourage, motivate, and lead by example. I’ve been lucky to have a number of these people in my life. Men, women, and peers who make a positive difference in my life every single day.

.

The second is that we encounter people who are bad influences. Those people are negative, they drag you down, and are stagnant. I’ve come across a fair number of these people too.

.

The thought for me today is that I have the potential to be on both sides of that equation to everyone I encounter throughout my day. I’m trying hard to be on the first side with each person I interact with and to encourage those on the second side.

Take time to check yourself today and ask “What are my priorities?” and “how do I make progress towards them?”

.

It can be easy to lose focus in our world. There are so many distractions bombarding us every day eating away at our potential. What are the steps you need to take to progress towards your priorities and are they currently happening? What do you need to change in your life to make these come true?

E18: APPRECIATE THE SLOW DAYS **Check out the new Gratitude Everyday Podcast by clicking the link in our account bio**

.

I’m the type of person that tries very hard to maximize the amount of stuff that I can get done in a day. In all of the “doing” I’ve become pretty good at recognizing when my body and mind need a break.

.

Today is one of those days.

.

Appreciate the slow days where not much is happening and that’s okay. Take time to take care of yourself and do the things that are important to you.

A lot can happen in a week. My week consisted of celebrating my birthday, watching my school’s football team with their third Provincial Championship in a row, working at a job I love, and many other things.

.

It can be easy to get caught up in moving from one event to the next without taking time to recognize things that we are grateful for.

.

For this week’s Gratitude Challenge, I challenge you to post one thing that you are grateful for in the comments below!

E16: DREAMS TAKE SWEAT, DETERMINATION, AND HARD WORK • **Check out the new Gratitude Everyday Podcast by clicking the link in our account bio**

.

What do you dream about? I often find myself dreaming about the simple things in life like taking time to go for a run to take care of myself, or dreaming of having a loving wife and kids where we are happy with what we have… each other, and anything extra is a blessing.

.

As a kid I used to dream of being a famous athlete or a musician, but as I get older I long for other things. I want a wife and family that loves me, I’m not chasing an endless amount of money in my bank account, and I want experiences because they are more valuable than material objects. Now that I know what I want, I know the work I have to do to get them.

.

I’d be excited to hear what you dream about in the comments below!
