There is no substitute for gratitude

There is no substitute for gratitude. Being thankful for what we have and where we are at any given moment is crucial for staying the course. Having faith can be difficult when you are not seeing results, action, fruits of your labor, or resolution with time. A dose of gratitude will chase those blues away. While there is value in discomfort, gratitude is grounding.
