Overachievers sometimes teach themselves that the real value is in a single giant change that dramatically changes their trajectory in one move.

I just completed a 100-day course discussing one of my favorite topics &#8211; gratitude.

I’d love to say that my outlook has completely changed and that my days of complaining about trivial matters are in the rearview mirror.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

However, the lessons did make a difference.

I’d venture to say that I feel about 10% more grateful than I did before the course.

That might not seem like much, but it’s a meaningful shift…
