[#18] I Dare You to Appreciate

This week, I’m reflecting on gratitude—not just as a feeling, but as a practice that changes everything. After a spontaneous Sunday trip to see Lewis Howes and Brendon Burchard live in SF (spoiler: it was magical), I’m reminded how appreciation shifts your frequency and calls in more of what you want.

Gratitude isn't about ignoring the hard stuff—it’s about choosing to focus on what’s working, even when life feels messy. Let’s talk about how appreciation creates a loop of joy, generosity, and growth. I dare you to live in appreciation.

BONUS: This week Emily and I are reading "Make Money Easy" by Lewis Howes. Read along, follow me on Instagram at @ohdaron, and let's chat about it!
