How Can You Feel Grateful When You’re Struggling?

We hear about mindset and gratitude all the time, and most people agree they’re key to success. But let me ask you—do you really know what mindset is and what it means?

“Mindset is the established set of attitudes held by someone.” This definition, from psychologist Carol Dweck, highlights that our mindset is essentially the way we think about ourselves, our abilities, and our potential. It influences how we handle challenges, make decisions, and pursue opportunities.

But here’s where most people get stuck: They understand the concept of mindset, but they don’t know how to apply it to their lives. You’ve probably read books, taken courses, or attended seminars on how to build wealth—whether it’s through real estate, the stock market, or running your own business. Yet, even with all that information, something still feels off. You see others thriving financially, while you might be stuck in a job you hate, living paycheck to paycheck, or struggling to close that next sale in your small business.
