Marker 36: Gratitude Doesn’t Make You Soft

Gratitude isn’t a buzzword. It’s a tool that reminds you WHY on the hard days.
I want to share this video with you about Gratitude: Mike Rowe Sweat Pledge


Gratitude Is a Weapon. Not a Weakness. Arm yourself well.
You can be:

  • Grateful and still frustrated
  • Grateful and still ambitious
  • Grateful and still done with BS

These aren’t contradictions.
They are signs you really care.

In Our World, Gratitude Looks Like:

  • Showing up strong when you don’t feel like it
  • Thanking your team even when results aren’t perfect
  • Staying grounded even as you raise the standard

We don’t build from ego, but from perspective.

This is Marker 36 of 41 from 41 Markers.

Build from thanks. Then raise hell.
