How was your week? Would today be a good day to try and be grateful?
Grateful is defined as appreciative of benefits received; affording pleasure or contentment. Couldn’t we stand to be reminded to be grateful from time to time? Some days being grateful is really hard to do.
When I feel like I am in a rut or my mood gets a bit down I like to remind myself to be grateful. To see the world through a different lens. A lens of gratitude.
How do I like to do that? My favorite thing to do is to go to the camera roll on my phone and scroll through my pictures and I am reminded of the moments, memories and good times.
I may even pair that with a gratitude walk to get a change of scenery and some fresh air. My mood changes and I am reminded that I have much to be grateful for.
I then mentally or physically write down at least three things I am grateful for as a reminder to live and lead with a thankful heart.
If you ever feel like you need to adjust your attitude or perspective I would encourage you take a gratitude break. It will help you live with appreciation, pleasure and contentment.
Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education. His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between.
In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities. Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches.
Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love. Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together. Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives.
Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One. One Word Leadership”, in 2022.
His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website. Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption. By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
