bout seven years ago TJ Sweet was struggling to find purpose, joy and optimism in his life. Like many people he was full of obligations and was moving from one thing to the next. While on a fitness journey, a mentor talked about gratitude and mindset, and about being grateful for the progress he was making along the way. “It woke me up and made me realize that I wasn’t going to be happy when I accomplished my goal unless I was happy with the progress I was making,” Sweet said. “So, I read about gratitude and started to practice it off and on.” Sweet would share motivational messages on Facebook, and started listening to motivational talks/videos. It was a habit he developed all day, every day.
