My Five Most Powerful Sources of Gratitude


Listen Later

At the beginning of this Thanksgiving week. I wanted to take just a few minutes to share with you my five greatest sources of gratitude right now, and a little bit about why they’re so significant.

 

We're living in a time when it feels really hard to operate from a place of gratitude. There's a lot going on that is just not good for humans. And it's hard. Nonprofit leaders in particular are feeling super stressed and under attack in a lot of ways, and we're watching attacks on members of our communities. There's a lot of really bad, scary stuff going on.

 

In the middle of all that, it becomes much too easy to lose sight of what's good in the world. But it's the good stuff that keeps us going. It's the good stuff that gives us a reason to stay in the fight. And to show up for all the people who matter to us, and to whom we matter.

 

Those of us who are lucky enough to work in the Nonprofit universe, a lot of us are here because we feel called to this work. Whether we're in direct service or advocacy or doing both at the same time, it's a labor of love. We do this because we care.

 

So when we find ourselves being pulled away from awareness of that and being sucked into the vortex of doom, I think it's really important to take a step back and take a little inventory of all of the things that motivate and inspire us, that recharge us, and that keep us going and keep us sane.

 


In this episode, I'm sharing:

  • What I’m doing (and not doing) to stay sane in crazy times
  • Why I’m seeking out people who challenge me and help me grow – and the amazing results that’s creating for me and my clients
  • The valuable perspective shift we can take from animals
  • The unexpected advocates who are emerging as a powerful source of inspiration for me
  • My Thanksgiving wish for you
