Title of this I am grateful for my life Calling it a Thanksgiving celebration Which is just right around the corner Here in the U.S uh and so yeah we had Already kind of uh uh we discussed this On our uh on that Zoom call yesterday Yes uh and so we can we can actually Cover some of the highlights of that I’ll throw it to you pookie to begin Okay uh why gratitude is why is this Your favorite time of the year or your Favorite theme why is gratitude so Important what does it mean to you and Uh I’ll let you take take it away wow Okay so um there was a time in my life Where I wasn’t grateful for a lot you Know I looked at the circumstances in my Life as as something not to be grateful For you know and as um as I started to Do my own personal journey and started To develop my my my own inner landscape Right as I began calling in and healing Aspects of my being I could see where Gratitude really served me and I could I Could begin to like the the in the the Things that I would um let’s just say Curse in my life before I could look at Them in a new way and then I could Actually embrace them and be grateful For them because I came to the Realization that with all of the things That happened it helps to form who I am It helped to create this being all of Those challenges all of those struggles
Really Um created a lot of my character traits That are very very strong in my being Now right and those all came from times Of adversity so there was a time when I Wasn’t really grateful for a lot and Then I moved into the into gratitude for Everything and I began to be grateful For all of my challenges all of the Times where I felt that you know um I was in despair or stressed out or Struggling and I could look back on all Of those and I could see how those Situations actually helped to forge My journey my walk they made me stronger Made you who you are they made me who I Am and because of those things that Happened now I can share that with Others and and it brings sometimes a Great healing for them because sometimes We have this idea that we’re going Through this alone so gratitude became Really important you know it was a real It was a real big shift for me Um to actually come to this place like Being grateful for my mother and being Grateful for my father who I never knew And being grateful for all of the things That happened to me in my childhood in My life and all the things that I Identified as being like negative and um Not beneficial right I became very aware Of of how gratitude just transformed Everything so then I began began to be
Grateful for all of those things and in My gratitude What I noticed is that I was beginning to heal like on a really Deep level you know and so that’s one Way in which gratitude has really served Me another way is that in in being Grateful for my life and so as I stepped Into this realm of being grateful for Everything and even now some things will Show up in my life and it’s like what Like and then I have to look for what is The true gift what is the blessing what Is there to be grateful for about what Just happened sometimes it’s not really Clear sometimes I have to wait a little Bit I have to get a little away from it Before I can see it but now I know to Embrace all of it and to be grateful for All of the lessons in my journey and What I know is that when I’m open to Gratitude Then I get more of what I desire More good flows into my life when I’m Grateful It’s like it has this tendency to open Up the floodgates when I’m grateful for What I have What I have When I’m grateful for that it opens up The opportunity for more to come Because the universe is like oh my gosh Look at this one so grateful I’m gonna Give more I’m gonna bestow more
Blessings Right because if you know just think About it let’s just say you gave someone A gift And they’re not grateful about it and I Was used to be that person too you know Like somebody would give me something at Christmas like my mother would give me This crazy sweater I’m like I had no Gratitude for it hey so it kind of Inhibits it inhibits The Giver to give To you again because you’re not you Don’t appreciate it but what if you’re Given that sweater and you love that Sweater and that sweater is so amazing You put it on right away and you walk Around the house and you show them how Much you love it it inspires The Giver To give more It’s like oh wow look so much gratitude So much gratitude so Where in your life can you bring more Gratitude can you bring more Thanksgiving because it’s not only going To heal you but it’s also going to open Up with the floodgates for more for more Of the things that you want in your life For more of what you desire You know it’s so beautiful I sat with my Girlfriend the other day Um And you know she just cried she just Cried she said I love you so much and I Am so grateful to see you finally living
The life that you deserve Because she was with me for 25 years This has been a very close friend of Mine she has seen it all you know she Was the one who took care of my plants When I was homeless I still have plants From 25 years ago right and so she was She was just like so grateful that I had That I was finally living the life that I’d always dreamed of And I am and I’m grateful for that And I’m grateful for all of you who come And and and share your energy your time With us You know and I’m grateful for this life And I’m grateful for all of the Terrible Shitty things That’s how I identify them Previously in my life I’m grateful for All of them They were all teachers they taught me Great wisdom Right and so gratitude it is it is um It’s everything I’ve often said and I shared this on Yesterday’s call with our folks Um that uh gratitude is the foundation Of all personal transformation and Personal growth Um if you’re just cursing where you are In your current circumstances Um you’re not in a very good position to Better your life so just appreciating Where you are wherever you are
Um yeah is the foundation that Everything else is built upon and there Are different ways to be grateful we Often quite often when when we’re doing A gratitude journal or or thinking of Things we’re grateful for it’s all the Positive things which you should be yeah We need to focus on the good in fact Lisa earlier Posted something here what is it oh Focus on the good and the good gets Better I like that I’m not sure if you If that’s a term that you came up with That has a rhythm to it focus on the Good and the good gets better there’s a New song and we have to find out where That came from but that’s uh if you came Up with that Lisa that’s wonderful uh And then uh and uh and then Clara said Make your trauma your testimony so so on One hand yes you wanna you wanna remind Yourself of all the good because we Often focus on what’s not working in our World the the people that wronged us the Circumstances the weather the economy Um what our boss did or didn’t do Um and that’s our Focus uh and then we Have to remind ourselves wait a second Life overall is good I’m alive I live in A in a country that you know I’m not uh There’s so many people around the globe Most people have to live at such a lower Level you know there’s so many things to Be grateful for by focusing on the good
What’s hap what’s right in your world so That’s like the the the starting point I Guess with expressing gratitude but this Other level of being grateful for your Challenges and the people who challenged You and the people were a-holes to be Honest Um in your in your life what the lessons That you learn be grateful for that too There’s another even further step that You can you can do uh there’s something That’s called gratitude in advance where There are things you’re aspiring to do Accomplishments goals that you have that You haven’t that haven’t maybe Materialized in their full form yet but You’re grateful that they’re on their on Their way you’re grateful that you’re Pursuing them uh you’re feeling the Sense of gratitude that you’re gonna Have when they actually do material Materialize so there’s all sorts of ways To use this and then another thing we Discussed on the call yesterday that I Just want to share with you is when You’re doing gratitude I like to think Of four core categories of things to be Grateful for and they are people uh Places things and aspects of you um So we always want to be grateful for the People in our lives family friends Neighbors co-workers uh just people in Our various groups and who share Hobbies With you know you know all those folks
So you want to be grateful again for the Uh the people that that are blessings to Your life but also the people that Challenge you yeah that you learn from Places that could be your home that Could be your backyard or maybe even a Room in your home that that’s like a Space for meditation or whatever it Could be Grand Canyon yeah places in Nature places that you’ve visited that Are meaningful to to you like Memories You have of being on vacation are you in Places that you haven’t been to but You’ve seen documentaries or whatever And and know that that place exists so Think the physical spaces Um I’m thankful for the community center For the for the Center for Spiritual Living where we these are all places you Know physical spaces Um that’s the second category three are Things these are objects not that we’re Being materialistic but I am really Thankful for computer technology for YouTube for my phone for my our car Which we love this yeah our Toyota Highlander that we bought a couple years Ago Um so be grateful for all those things Big and small that’s the third category The fourth one and this is the one That’s overlooked all the time although All the time aspects of you be grateful Just to be alive for one but be grateful
