How Gratitude Multiplies Courage 9/14/25

Start your day with peace, clarity, and courage. In today’s EMBR Mornings reflection, Kimberly invites you to pause with your coffee and look back — not at what didn’t happen, but at the aligned leaps you did take this week. Gratitude strengthens courage, turning even the smallest step into confidence for the journey ahead.

We explore the truth that aligned leaps aren’t reckless; they are rooted in wisdom and trust. Whether your leap was saying yes, waiting patiently, or even choosing rest, each moment of alignment matters. Inspired by The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy, Kimberly reminds us that looking back with gratitude shifts our perspective from “how far we have to go” to “how far we’ve already come.”

✨ EMBR Mornings is here to help you reclaim your mornings as sacred time — beginning your day with intention, presence, and faith.

💭 Journal Prompt: Write down three aligned steps you took this week. Thank God for each one and ask Him to strengthen your courage for what’s ahead.
