The personal development space is rife with slogans about the power of gratitude.
And it’s true, gratitude IS important in a world that has us seeking more and better “things” in life.
The next promotion, a bigger house, a newer car, the latest iPhone.
The desire for more can keep us in a state of lack and always wanting. The desire for more can make us feel like what we already have isn’t enough.
And whilst this is true, there is also a shadow side to gratitude…
The shadow side is that we can begin to push down some of what we truly want in order to be grateful for what we have now, leading to resentment, annoyance, or frustration in your life.
In this episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast I’m discussing the difference between wanting more for personal growth and wanting more for ego-driven reasons and the 3 signs to know if gratitude is holding you back in your life or work.
