Now that you are in the Gratitude portion of the Humble Extended Focus, your Small Group is working on a new plan. How did the first week go? Do you foresee any obstacles to the execution of your plan? Share these with your group and allow feedback and input from each other.

The following questions are related to the Additional Content above:

Do you count yourself in the subset of people who find gratitude challenging due to arriving at your current station by overcoming incredible odds or obstacles with hard work and effort (what Tim calls a “bootstrap” worldview)? Who or what contributed to the “raw materials” of your hard work and effort? Can this move you to become more grateful?

Tim mentions the distinction between saying “thank you” and being grateful. Discuss this distinction in greater detail with each other.
