Do you ever stop and ask yourself what you’re grateful for? Do you take the time to show gratitude? I heard a great story a few weeks ago. A colleague of mine was listening to someone that kept going on and on about what was wrong with their life.

We can look at the glass as half full and respond from an emotion rooted in love, or we can look at the glass as half empty and respond from an emotion rooted in fear. We always have choice. I...
