Gratitude has a way of realigning the heart and sharpening perspective, especially for leaders and creatives carrying a lot of responsibility.
In a recent reflection, Kingdom Chorus artist Scott DeClaire Jr. shares how a leadership conference challenged him to intentionally practice gratitude as a way to grow in emotional intelligence and leadership.
Rather than keeping the exercise private, Scott chose to share it openly, inviting others to reflect alongside him.
In this message, Scott focuses on three key areas of life.
Grateful for God
Scott reflects on God’s grace, sharing that no matter how many times he falls short, God continues to welcome him back. It is a simple but powerful reminder of mercy and faithfulness.
Grateful for Family
He expresses gratitude for his wife, describing her as supportive, encouraging, and someone who continually pushes him to be his best. Her presence is a steady source of strength behind the scenes.
Grateful for Calling and Career
Scott also acknowledges the leaders who believed in him throughout his career. Having supervisors and mentors who saw potential made a lasting impact on his growth and confidence.
This reflection is a reminder that gratitude is not just a feeling. It is a daily choice that shapes leadership, faith, and purpose.
