Why is New Beginnings important for you in Nashville?
It’s easy to fall into pessimism and think that the 'good old days' were better. But an objective look at history reveals a different story.
We live in a time of unprecedented opportunity, health, and freedom—bought by the blood, sweat, and tears of countless generations before us. This isn't a free pass to sit back; it's a profound responsibility. We have starting conditions that kings only 200 years ago couldn't have dreamed of—from instant communication to modern medicine.
Our duty is not just to maintain this inheritance, but to multiply it. When we look at what we have with true gratitude, the paralysis of perfectionism fades. We stop being just consumers of history and start becoming the architects of the future.
Gratitude isn't just a nice feeling; it’s a fuel that turns our 'historical privilege' into purposeful action. Research suggests that focusing on progress and gratitude increases dopamine and serotonin, shifting the brain from a state of lack to a state of creative abundance.
The Mechanism
Gratitude practice increases the density of gray matter in the prefrontal cortex and increases the firing of dopamine-producing neurons. Relative thinking (Reframing) allows the brain to bypass the 'negativity bias' by comparing current states to objectively worse historical precedents, reducing cortisol.

- LEVERAGE YOUR CHANCES Ask yourself: 'What opportunities do I have today that my grandparents didn't have?' Commit to using at least one of those unique chances today.
- BUILD FOR THE FUTURE Consider what your contribution is to the generations that will follow you. How can you help ensure their 'starting block' is even higher than yours?
