Gratitude isn’t something you say, it’s something you train your heart to feel. In this episode, I guide you through a powerful, practical, and heartfelt teaching on gratitude — not the kind you say out loud, but the kind you feel, embody, and live. We explore how entitlement blocks joy, how your brain is wired to miss the good, and how you can experience gratitude through four spiritual and emotional pathways: attitude, action, investment, and celebration.

Through stories, real-life examples, and spiritual practices, you’ll learn how to slow down, notice God’s presence, overcome negativity, and live with more joy, presence, and intention.

 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:•

• What gratitude really means beyond saying “thank you”
• How to feel gratitude instead of forcing it
• Why entitlement blocks your ability to experience joy
• How the brain attaches to negativity (Velcro/Teflon theory) and how to retrain it
• A step-by-step way to practice the Examen de Conciencia to notice God daily
• How to experience gratitude as action through service (Orlando’s story)
• How gratitude becomes investment — of time, money, and energy — for what matters most
• How gratitude shows up as celebration, pausing to honor your wins instead of living in “the gap”
• Why gratitude is the pathway to joy
