⏱️ The millionaireME Minute | Thanksgiving Reflection: An Embarrassment of Riches

Greetings.

There are 36 days left in the year.

And I’m grateful for every one of them.

This past year can only be described as an embarrassment of riches.

Not merely in the financial sense, though that matters, but across the fuller landscape of life — spiritually, physically, relationally, all the ways.

In fact, I do not believe I have ever felt more grateful.

For the opportunities, the growth, the hard lessons, the quiet mercies, and yes, for this early-stage community that has gathered around a shared desire to live more intentionally in the areas of happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise.

No one asked for these posts.

I realize that.

And yet, in the discipline of crafting them — whether for a missive, sermon, a lesson, a confession — I’ve found something unexpectedly grounding: the necessity to slow down, to concentrate, and to clarify what I truly believe.

It has reminded me, repeatedly, that living for others and living with gratitude are not sentimental ideas. They are practical disciplines. And in my experience, they are among life’s most reliable pathways to deep satisfaction and lasting happiness.

I cannot fully explain why. I just know that they work.

There is also a third practice that has become increasingly clear: intentionality with time.

Whether the pursuit is spiritual depth, physical health, financial stewardship, or personal wisdom, growth requires attention and deliberate effort. There is always room to grow. Always more to learn.

As I approach my 58th year, one truth feels especially clear: the more I live, the more I realize how much I still do not know. And instead of discouraging me, that realization humbles and motivates me.

So thank you.

Sincerely.

Whether you’ve quietly observed from afar or walked closely in the arena of daily engagement, I am grateful for your presence and your trust. Your participation matters more than you likely realize.

My hope is simple: that the year ahead is even more faithful, more grounded, and more aligned with what matters most.

And I am grateful — deeply so — that you are part of this journey. 🙏

Happiest Thanksgiving wishes to you all. 😊
