Gratitude and forgiveness are two of the most powerful tools for healing old wounds. Holding onto past grievances can often feel like carrying an invisible burden that subtly influences our decisions, relationships, and self-esteem. By embracing gratitude, we stop looking at what we don’t have and turn to the abundance surrounding us.
Doing this Provides a nurturing sense of peace and contentment. Forgiveness is then followed as a liberating force. You are not encouraging hurtful behaviors but instead releasing the grip of resentment that binds us to them. This process opens up a space for healing, allowing us to move forward with lighter hearts and clearer minds.
By cultivating these practices, we can mend the fractures of the past and pave the way for a more compassionate future.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
