Summary:

It’s that time of the year when we reflect on all that we have and express our gratitude—Thanksgiving! It’s also a time that we can be cognizant of others and share a meal, a gift basket, or even just a smile. Today, Dan shares a number of inspiring stories of people who went the extra mile for their neighbor. He also expresses the importance of discovering that dream, wish, or purpose that takes our life to a whole new level.

3 Key Points:

1. Thanksgiving should NOT be the only time we are grateful for what we have.
2. Share the blessings that you have to the needy—and remember, it doesn’t always have to be in the form of money!
3. A life without a dream, desire, or purpose lacks meaning. Start finding your WHY.
