The Daily Gratitudes

This is the place to hone your Habitual Ritual.

Here you can practice the two key habits in the Habitual Ritual:

  1. Make a list of what you’re grateful for - by posting your gratitudes as a comment below

  2. Consume other people’s gratitudes - by reading a few posts of what others are grateful for. Feel free to respond to any gratitude with a comment.

We encourage you to bookmark this page and visit it each day to maintain a thriving mindset. Our dream is one billion happier people and one thing is for certain - we need a movement to make this happen and hope you’ll invite your network to join us here. As a community, we will master grateful leadership and together we will help populate our workplaces and the world with one billion happier people.

Why gratitude is important to me

My wife's name is Sylvia. Our 29th wedding anniversary is in April. We have 3 children in their 20s and our dog Odie is the brings so much love and fun to our home. What I am most motivated by is always delivering for the people in my life - as a teammate, a friend, a brother, a son, a husband and a father. I have been a CEO 3 times and am excited to be a MacKay Forum Chair and a Strategic Advisor to MacKay as we continue our quest to to bring peer learning/support to more and more business leaders in Canada at a time we need to help each other more than ever.

How kids want to help

Kids want to help. At whatever ability level they have, notice how they want to chip in and help. I think it helps them grow too.

Today I’m grateful for:

  • help with shredding yesterday

  • help cleaning the car for spring - coming in the next week or so !

  • help cleaning up toys this morning

What are you grateful for today ?
