Message:

Gratitude 

• The message of the day is gratitude. What are we truly grateful or thankful for in our lives? Are we taking time every day to show gratitude to others, your family, your friends, your wife, your kids, your co-workers. Do we take a look at the things we have and wish we had more. Sure, ambitions are great but are we so ambitious that we overlook what we currently have. For me, I have always had a bad case of I will be happy when. I’ll be happy when I graduate high school, when I graduate law school, when I get my first job, when I make x amount, when I get a nicer car, when I’ve saved enough money to buy a ring and propose, when I buy a house in Nocatee. But even after getting all those things, I still felt empty inside and that’s partly because I wasn’t grateful enough. When you really think about it, many of us are so blessed. Blessed to wake up, blessed to have a bed to sleep in, food to eat, buddies to workout with, a job that pays the bills, and a beautiful neighborhood to live in. Some people don’t have any of that.

  So today, wherever you’re at fitness wise, be grateful you made it today. Be grateful that you had the opportunity to get better.
