5 Silent Killers of Gratitude Here are 5 significant perspectives on the acute awareness of gratitude: 1. HOPE KILLS: Too much focus on a potential future event can blindly disconnect you to those around us. Living in the future creates hope but often we lose the appreciation for the people and circumstances in the daily journey. 2. PAST KILLER: I’m a big believer of knowing your own story, however, our inability as Elsa in Frozen reminds us to, “Let it go.” Yes, I have two amazing daughters and I’m teaching them daily to “let it go”…ok maybe they are teaching me. As Grace told me with her notorious eye-rolls. “Dad, we know, we know, the Steelers stole a Super Bowl, enjoy the one you have.” – Go Hawks! 3. EXPECTATION KILLER: Probably the greatest killer of gratitude is high expectations. When people with high expectations achieve their goals, the goal was expected, therefore never fully appreciated. 4. PRIDE KILLER: Humility breeds gratitude, embrace it. Pride and gratitude rarely co-exist. 5. UN-GRATITUDE KILLER: SEE video for a clear definition. When we come to realize all of our un-gratitude it becomes an untapped endless emotional resource https://youtube/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Q94z2bD5E5w
