Ep 163 A Big Mistake I Made Led Me to Gratitude in My Later Years

Midlife Fulfilled Podcast: For People Over 40 Who Say NO To A Midlife Crisis

In this takeaway episode, I discuss why I struggle with an attitude of gratitude for achieving fulfillment in midlife. This stems from my conversation with Shep Hyken on episode 162.
Here are 3 key discussion points from that conversation:
1️⃣ Attitude of Gratitude: Shep shared his practice of writing down something positive from both his professional and personal life every day, which has contributed to his resilience and appreciation for life.

2️⃣ Pursuing Amazement: Shep's definition of greatness is surpassing expectations in small, consistent ways, leading to excellence, or as he calls it, amazement. His approach is an inspiring reminder to strive for continuous improvement.

3️⃣ Embracing Retirement: Shep's perspective on retirement emphasizes doing what brings joy and satisfaction, whether through professional work or hobbies. His outlook challenges the traditional definition of retirement, encouraging us to engage in meaningful activities that bring fulfillment.

The conversation also highlighted personal struggles. I share that I've had more failures than successes. So, I combine gratitude with accountability.
My challenge to you is to ask yourself this: What role does gratitude play in your life?
