How To Find Gratitude Every Day

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a practice. Focusing on what’s missing is easy, but the real magic happens when you appreciate what’s already there.

 Start small: notice a kind gesture, enjoy a warm cup of coffee, or appreciate a good conversation. Keeping a gratitude journal can help, but so can simply pausing for a few seconds to acknowledge the good around you. 

Even on hard days, there’s something to be thankful for—a lesson learned, a moment of peace, or a supportive friend. The more you look for gratitude, the more you’ll find. And when gratitude becomes a habit, joy follows.

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.
