Today it is commonly acknowledged that cultivating a sense of gratitude can be a powerful tool for helping us to live better and emotionally healthier lives. So much so that I even have clients who try to find their way to feeling a sense of gratitude when struggling with an emotional issue. My clients regularly tell me things like, “I spent some time this morning doing gratitude exercises to try to change my mindset.”
Unfortunately, simply saying that you feel thankful is not enough to turn around an emotional issue. In this week’s podcast I share with you the difference between the feelings of gratitude and poverty. When I use the word “poverty” in this context I’m not talking specifically about a lack of money, but rather feeling like we don’t have enough of anything. We can feel a poverty of support, opportunity, love, health, or just about anything else.
When we understand the difference between the emotions of gratitude and poverty, we can use this understanding in our personal transformation work.

Wow! Love this podcast! Love the way you’ve woven gratitude into faith, stories, and our community meal of Thanksgiving!
Thank you for the blessing I received! :o)
Was Ok with it until he started bringing the catholic
corporate church into it. As a GAY MALE I find the catholic church to be dishonest, corrupt and
behind the times to say the least.
Terry,
I would be interested to hear if you agreed/disagreed with the ideas regardless of the roots of the idea.
