If I spend my time ruminating on their failures or flaws it will slowly build resentment and amplify what’s wrong until I drive a wedge into the relationship. However, if I practice gratitude&hellip; which looks like naming what they do well, noticing their strengths, and giving thanks for them, then I will grow closer and build a reservoir of grace.</p>
