He traces it to the myth of self-sufficiency, our habit of taking the people closest to us for granted, and treating gratitude as a soft skill rather than a practice. The takeaway is to build a deliberate daily routine, such as a journal or a thank-you note, so intentional living includes saying thanks. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.spirituallivingforbusypeople.com/cultivate-gratitude Quotes to ponder: "When I'm feeling pressured or stressed, gratitude is often the last thing on my mind." "It's amazing how quickly our appreciation of something someone does for us can become an expectation." "Regardless of what system you choose, the critical component is to practice gratitude daily."
