Coach's Corner

“It never ceases to surprise me at the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the introduction of useful knowledge.”
- Thomas Raynesford Lounsbury

Living in Grace and Gratitude

12/11/2021

​I have come to realize that lived experiences are the best teachers. Sometimes we can become so consumed with yesterday or tomorrow that we neglect the importance of right now. 2021 has taught, inspired, and challenged us to lean deeper into the unknown and venture beyond our comfort zones. This year has led us to be more at peace with stillness, silence, and self-care through each moment of love and joy, pain and adversity.

As we welcome the holiday season and bring closure to this year, we should aspire to incorporate the practice of gratitude into our daily leadership and life toolkit. This act alone can begin to leverage the power of the human spirit while giving a more profound perspective to our own experiences. 

Even when the journey becomes dark and the next step is unclear, there is always a reason to live in grace and gratitude. We just have to discover it, appreciate it, and live it. No matter how dark a day becomes, the sun will always rise tomorrow. As it does so, may we rise with it as well while counting the blessings of our life and the sacredness of our breath. 

Let's cherish the opportunities of today to give thanks. No matter our longevity, the journey is finite and fragile. But we still have time to express our grace and gratitude each day, as if it is our last.
