The Power of Thanks
I’m reminded today of the power of gratitude as I came across an email, written to me by a job search client, 13 years ago. I was a bit bored and had decided to clean out a closet where I keep a lot of papers and there it was. This client had landed a good job and in thanking me, she wrote: “I carry your book, Eliminated! Now What? around like a Bible. It gives me great comfort and reassurance when I falter or self-doubt begins to creep in.”
That was and is a gift. An important reminder of why I do what I do. A connection. If you’d like to take my gratitude challenge, think of a person, past or present, who has helped you, and drop them a note. You’ll rarely know its impact, but do it anyway. It could just make someone’s day!
