"Happy people make gratitude a practice, not a reaction to something." - Lewis Howes

Lewis wakes up every single morning the same way: "Thank you, God, for another day." Not because something good happened. Not because he got what he wanted. Because 150,000 people die every single day, and he's not one of them. That's where it starts. He's discovered something most people never realize: you literally cannot be grateful and miserable at the same time. Try it right now. Hold gratitude in your mind and try to feel angry or sad or resentful. You can't do both. Your brain won't let you. So Lewis built his entire life around this truth. Morning gratitude when he wakes up. Evening gratitude with his wife Martha, where they each share three things they appreciate from that day. He's creating a bridge of gratitude from sunrise to sunset, and that bridge gets stronger every single day. The compound effect is real. He calls it breaking through the emotional armor that so many people carry around, that weight you don't even realize you're holding onto.

Here's what shifts when you actually do this: your mind starts hunting for what's working instead of what's broken. You train yourself to see the good, and suddenly there's more of it everywhere. Lewis isn't asking you to ignore the hard stuff or pretend everything's perfect. He's asking you to write down three things you're grateful for every day for the next seven days. That's it. Three things. Because when you focus on what's present instead of what's missing, when you make gratitude and generosity your gateway to abundance, you stop reacting to life and start creating the happiness you deserve. Even on the days with heartbreak and stress and all the unfortunate things that happen, you'll have a tool that actually works. You'll notice your energy shift. Your heart shift. You'll start seeing why life is still beautiful, even in the middle of challenge.
