#MindsetMonday - EP6 - The Importance of Gratitude

This episode of #MindsetMondays starts off with a shout-out to Lainie Rowell who is one of the authors featured in #BecauseOfATeacher and she is starting her own gratitude journey! Couros reflects on the importance of gratitude and shares a reminder from Patrick Larkin who asked his blog followers to “find one thing each day that you are grateful for that would not have been possible if we were not in these unique circumstances.” Couros shares two questions that he read in an article by Tim Denning, titled, The Most Important Way to Measure Your Day: 1. Did I learn one new thing today? 2. Did I help or inspire one person? Couros also adds a third question: 3. Did I show gratitude to someone who has had a positive impact on me? Couros encourages listeners and viewers to reflect on these three questions and share the answers with others or share using #MindsetMonday!
