We should be thankful for everything we have in life. We tend to take things for granted more often than not. With the rise of social media, we also covet what others have, sometimes forgetting how good we have it.
However, that stops today. We need to have and show GRACE for all we have. We can start by saying small prayers or thank you’s every morning and throughout the day.
I am thankful for my beautiful wife, who understands my path in this life. I am thankful for my two boys, who will grow up to be strong men. I am grateful for my mother, who gave me life and has always been there for me.

What are you thankful for today? How about tomorrow? How about yesterday?
Saying thank you. I have always thanked the Lord for my life. Being a US Marine, death surrounds me. I traveled to the poorest country in Africa in 2002 and Afghanistan in 2010 and came home in one piece—others did not.
Dave Ramsey and his daughter Rachel Cruze always talked about grace in their books. I recently finished “Baby Step Millionaires” and “Know Yourself, Know Your Money,” which gave me more insight into showing grace.
The famous book “Think and Grow Rich” had a similar mantra. By giving to others and showing grace, you welcome more good things to happen inside this world. Many of these special events will happen to you, but also others.
I always like the saying, “A closed fist cannot receive.” So many people try to get rich by saving every penny at the cost of giving. Unfortunately, that’s not how the system works.
By saying thank you to the world every day, you can truly appreciate the goodness around you. Did you wake up today? Wow, that’s amazing! Many people didn’t get the chance to see one more sunrise or sunset. Ensure you enjoy your view tonight.

Overcome limiting beliefs. Grace can help us overcome limiting beliefs. Many of us want to start a home business or become content creators, but we have fear.
By showing grace for every customer, sale, view, and subscriber, you won’t get caught in the rat race of chasing meaningless goals.
Today, I had 140+ views on my website (MIlitary Family Investing). On social media, people talk about having 10,000s page views per day. However, I am incredibly excited about my 140 views.
Do you know why? A year ago, I had 2-3 views per day in February 2021. I appreciated those 2-3 views because no one owes me anything. No one has to come to my site and read my articles or download my pdfs.
That’s why I can continue to write every day—because I am truly blessed. I have a career that is coming to an end in a few years. I will retire to spend every day with my wife and kids while having passive income coming in from the heavens. It’s a beautiful life.
Single-Family vs. Multi-Family Housing
Grace and Passive Income. Grace and Passive Income go hand and hand. If you are thankful for every dividend, royalty, or rent payment, you will amass a vast amount of wealth.
Starting any income stream is difficult, but it is much more challenging if you are not graceful. If you don’t consider receiving a $5 dividend extraordinary, you won’t reach $50.
I remember receiving my first dose of passive income—an interest payment from my Discover high yield saving account. The amount was $0.06. Yes, six cents.
However, I was ecstatic because it proved that the system worked. The more money that I invested, the more interest I would accrue.
Keep it going. By having grace with these small payments, I could stay motivated as the system continued to work in my favor.
How to Create Passive Income for the Average Person
I remember receiving a $5 dividend on my Cash App debit card (I call it my Dividend Debit Card). I bought a small sandwich with this $5 to show that I could buy something with my dividends. Again, it proved that the system works.
In February 2022, I received a total of $160 in dividends via my Cash app account. And boy, am I thankful.
I am thankful that I don’t need this money. I am grateful that I am building an empire that I can leave to my children. $160 is undoubtedly a lot of money.
Dividends vs. Capital Gains 2
Getting started with grace, wealth, and passive income. Okay, so how do you get started with grace and passive income. Grace comes from inside, and you need to honestly appreciate where you stand in life.
Yes, we can all improve, but being graceful will remove our lust for more and more stuff. I recommend the book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” to cleanse our love of things.
As we become more graceful, we will decrease our possessions and increase our love of life. We can enjoy what life is all about—building relationships with others.
This is where passive income comes into the picture. To spend the maximum amount of time with others, we need to have revenue hitting our accounts at all times of the day. This dream life is possible with your education in passive income.

You are building streams of passive income by adding value to the world, creating music, writing, shooting videos, becoming a landlord, etc.
This passive income will eventually set you free. You will have freedom of time, location, and money—everything you need to spend time with family and friends.
The path to freedom is more accessible by having grace for everything you receive. These can be dividends, special dividends, mergers, rent increases, and book royalties.
Celebrate every time income hits your account that is not from your employer. Reward yourself by using some of your dividends to take your spouse to Sushi. That’s what my wife and I use my book royalties for—fine dining.

Conclusion. This world moves fast; sometimes, we forget to slow down and enjoy our coffee. Be thankful to be alive, healthy, and reading this article.
Grace is something we have to strive to achieve. It’s far easier to focus on the negative things in our life. But that will get us nowhere.
Are you thankful for being alive today? What can you do to assist someone else today? Did you receive any passive income today? If not, start working on building your passive income portfolio. Show grace for every dividend, rent payment, and royalty, and you will be on your way to greatness. Thank you for reading.
