Can you Multiply What You Aren’t Grateful For?

What if the key to getting more in life… is being grateful for what we already have? I didn’t expect to get hit with this realization today, but as I was reading John 5 & 6, something clicked. * Jesus asked Philip how they’d feed 5,000 people—even though he already knew the answer. * He told everyone to sit down before they even had food—was that faith or just a crazy move? * He gave thanks before multiplying the fish and bread—what if we’re missing out because we aren’t grateful first? * And then—he gathered the leftovers. Even in abundance, nothing was wasted. It made me ask myself: Where have I taken things for granted? What have I wasted because I thought it would always be there? I don’t have all the answers, but I know this: we can’t multiply what we aren’t grateful for. So here’s the challenge: ➡ What’s one thing you can start showing gratitude for today? ➡ How would your life change if you responded instead of reacted? I’m figuring this out in real-time, and if this hits home for you too, let’s explore it together. 👇 Hit the link below and send me a text if this resonated with you Send me a text let me know what you think of today's episode [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2449747/open_sms]

My Journey from Reacting to Responding To Life

In today’s episode of Unleashed After 40, I dive into a powerful insight that hit me while reading the Bible. The story of Mary at the wedding with Jesus (John 2) unlocked a lesson about the difference between reacting and responding—one that I’ve been personally experiencing in my own life. For most of my life, I was the world's #1 reactor—quick to respond based on emotion, anxiety, and external circumstances. But in the last month, I’ve started making a shift. And what I’ve found is that responding puts me in a position of peace, power, and purpose. In this episode, I share: ✅ The lesson Mary teaches us about faith over feelings ✅ Why reacting keeps us stuck in anxiety, anger, and aimlessness ✅ How shifting to responding can transform your mindset and your results ✅ A real-life example of how I almost missed out on wisdom because of a reaction We were put on this earth to be creators, not reactors. Today, I challenge you: Where in your life are you still reacting, and what would happen if you chose to start responding instead? 🔥 Let’s talk about it.
