4210: 3 Reasons Why It's Hard to Cultivate Gratitude & What You Can Do About It by Cylon George of Spiritual Living for Busy People on Spiritual Growth

Cylon George introduces the gratitude gap: the disconnect between our high valuation of gratitude and how rarely we actually express it. He identifies three obstacles: the myth of self-sufficiency, our tendency to take loved ones for granted, and treating gratitude as an optional soft skill rather than a disciplined practice. His solution is to build a deliberate daily routine—like a journal or thank-you note—so intentional living includes consistent thanks.
