A few weeks back, I completed an online course titled, The Anatomy of Gratefulness. (I highly recommend you check it out. Compelling content, self-paced and impactful. All the details are here.)

After completion, there was a self-evaluation that asked the standard list of questions – what did you like?, what can we improve?, etc.

Towards the end of the survey, I ran into the following question – What purpose do you think Grateful Living is called to fulfill in the world right now?

I’m not entirely sure how I answered it, but upon further reflection, I think the idea can be life changing.  

Imagine if we could all make gratitude our default setting? How would it change the way in which we interact with our coworkers, family, and community?

Would this simple change make a meaningful difference to those around us? Could it change the way they think about their world?  

What would be the ripple effect if it did?
