Fantastic! It’s like we have a Vulcan mind meld. My experiences have validated this perspective, and I pass it along to my coaching clients. I also have learned that gratitude is the bridge from the stress mindset, in which we spin in our own juices, to the success mindset, where we learn and thrive from our experiences. I have found that gratitude is a necessary step on the way to acceptance, to shifting from “what’s wrong” to “what is”, and then “what’s possible”.
