LYRICS – I Just Gotta Say Thank You (Official Lyrics) Fearless Soul

I’ve been looking, looking for some relief
I’ve been searching, but don’t know what I need
Lost in my thoughts, don’t know what to believe
The truth has always been in front of me

When I get caught up in the day by day
Holding on to pain that just won’t go away, I say:

Thank you to the hard times for making me stronger
Thank you for all the lessons that are making me wiser
Thank you to those who were kind, you lifted me up
Thank you for all my blessings, I am so grateful

I just gotta say thank you
I just gotta say

I am learning, don’t know where life will lead
I am growing, find the best parts of me
Wherever I go, I will be positive
Go with the flow, embrace the life I live

When I get caught up in the day by day
Holding on to pain that just won’t go away, I say:

Thank you to the hard times for making me stronger
Thank you for all the lessons that are making me wiser
Thank you to those who were kind, you lifted me up
Thank you for all my blessings, I am so grateful

I just gotta say thank you
I just gotta say thank you
I just gotta say thank you
I just gotta say

When I get caught up in the day by day
Holding on to pain that just won’t go away,
I say:

Thank you to the hard times for making me stronger
Thank you for all the lessons that are making me wiser
Thank you to those who were kind, you lifted me up
Thank you for all my blessings, I am so grateful

I just gotta say thank you
I just gotta say thank you
I just gotta say thank you
I just gotta say thank you

LYRICS – Let it Flow (Grateful) Fearless Soul

I might not have it all but I’m happy with what I have
I’ll always live in gratitude
Counting my blessings and acknowledging all I have
Everything both big and small

And Yeah I’m so thankful
For every little thing I say thank you
And no, not everyday is perfect
But when the storms pass the sunset is perfect

So much to appreciate
So much to celebrate
No I won’t complain no
I attract more when I’m grateful

Let it flow, let it flow
Let it flow, let it flow
Let it all flow through you
No I won’t complain, no
I attract more when I’m grateful


I’m present in the moment, in the moment
A constant attitude of gratitude
And to everyone that’s helped me, to the universe
I want to say thank you

And yeah I’m so thankful
For every little thing I say thank you
I celebrate all of my wins
I go to sleep wake up and give thanks again

So much to appreciate
So much to celebrate
No I won’t complain no
I attract more when I’m grateful

Let it flow, let it flow
Let it flow, let it flow
Let it all flow through you
No I won’t complain, no
I attract more when I’m grateful

I vibrate higher and higher
Only positive energy

So much to appreciate
So much to celebrate
No I won’t complain no
I attract more when I’m grateful

Let it flow, let it flow
Let it flow, let it flow
Let it all flow through you
No I won’t complain, no
I attract more when I’m grateful

LYRICS – Grateful (Official Music Video) Fearless Soul

As my days keep rushing by me
I seem to forget
All the ways that life has guided me
and I’m grateful for that

Whenever I’m feeling alone,
faced with the unknown
I remind myself of all the ways
there’s joy in everyday

Life is full of wonder,
I don’t have to wait
To look around and see
the beauty here in this moment

I’m grateful for the ones I love
Those who lift me up when I am down
I’m grateful for the air in my lungs
The hard times I felt lost is when I found
My strength, my spirit, my authentic self
I’m grateful for this life
I’m grateful for this life

It’s easy to only notice the bad times around
All I can do is shift my focus and see the good as well

I don’t know what my future holds, right now is all I have
Gotta hold close and appreciate what I take for granted

Life is full of wonder,
I don’t have to wait
To look around and see
the beauty here in this moment

I’m grateful for the ones I love
Those who lift me up when I am down
I’m grateful for the air in my lungs
The hard times I felt lost is when I found
My strength, my spirit, my authentic self
I’m grateful for this life
I’m grateful for this life

I wanna say thank you for the lessons I have learned
I wanna say thank you for the unexpected turns
Every time I grew I found happiness and my truth
I wanna say thank you and enjoy the time I have

I’m grateful for the ones I love
Those who lift me up when I am down
I’m grateful for the air in my lungs
The hard times I felt lost is when I found
My strength, my spirit, my authentic self

I’m grateful for this life
I’m grateful for this life
I’m grateful for this life

Even on your worst day, you are living miracle – Peter Crone

Speaker: Peter Crone

Peter Crone on the Miracle of human life:

The expression I use, is I say,

We are all masterpieces and works in progress simultaneously..

So to be human is to be extraordinary.

I have a quote, which is says,

Even on your worst day, you are a living miracle.

If you think about the trillions of reactions that are happening just within the biochemistry of our physicality, it’s, it’s overwhelming that we can eat food with friends at a dinner table and our body will take care of the process of digestion went to secrete the bile from the bile duct, when to release more hydrochloric acid, to break down the food, the mechanisms that then have to actually occur as it goes through the small intestine and food is separated, you know, absorbed, and then it’s taken to the cellular level and there’s all of this metabolism that takes place at an even deeper level. So that the apple that you just ate at some point will become a liver cell.

I mean, that is just mind blowing like magic, right? Yet we don’t think about it.

So when you really understand the endless myriad of transactions that are happening in the human brain and the human body, that actually gives us the experience of being live, it’s humbling.

You kind of can’t help, but feel a sense of gratitude and grace by virtue of the fact that I have a human as a human, I have the capacity to see the people I love. I have the capacity to communicate the way that I feel about myself, life and others. The fact that I can smell the sense that I can hear the dulcet tones of a loved one or a child telling me what they feel. And I can taste the extraordinary abundance of these different flavors that we get to experience by virtue of mother nature.

Just those five senses that we take for granted every day from when you really get it, it becomes impossible to not revere life, your own, and others’

To recognize what an immaculate conception, every being is by virtue of the gift that it is so we get to experience life in its whole.

Being human IS the opportunity.

And so when you recognize that by virtue of your, by virtue of being here, and again, I am not in any way diminishing or dismissing the hardship that many people go through. There are people literally starving. I can talk about the joys of tasting food and people are like, well, that’s great for you. I don’t have any. And so that is something that collectively we have to do a better job of right. There is such inequality.

That is, to me, something that really hit home many years ago was the,

just to be alive is itself a miracle.

And from that moment forth, I stopped berating myself. I’m not perfect. And there’s so, so humility and patience that we can develop when we understand that and then afford others. And so certainly as it relates to kids, you know, their central nervous system is developing at every stage as it is still for me. If I try and take up a new language or I try and take up a new activity, I’m not going to be that good at it because it’s not something that I’ve assimilated into the way that my brain is currently programmed.

So if we could afford each other just a little bit more patience, a little bit more compassion, a little bit more empathy for the fact that it is difficult.

It is sometimes challenging to take on a new task and that’s okay. Then that again would make for a much more loving and accepting society.

But within that, we never neglect the magic that it is to be a human being.

And I know honestly, to be any form of life, you know, you just, yeah, just the intricate details of say a little bit spider, like, I mean, it’s just insane. Like that is magical. Now. I might not necessarily want that spider crawling across my face in the middle of the night, depending on what kind of spider it is, but I’m certainly going to Revere the fact that that is an expression of life and it at some level is just absolutely mystical.

Transcript – These Morning Habits Will Transform Your Mindset & Quality of Life (Inspiring Speech)

If you start your day with a genuine “THANK YOU”… you’ll most likely end your day with many more things to say “THANK YOU” for.

Almost everything you do from the moment you wake up is habit. Habits formed from your past. Habits formed, by your consistent application – good or bad.

What habits do you want to create? And what habits do you need to ELIMINATE?

What habits will lead you to create a better life? What habits will lead to your BEST LIFE?

Here’s some common morning habits of the most successful, and most fulfilled people in the world: Exercise. Gratitude. Journaling. Meditation. Cold showers. Correct nutrition. Breathing exercises.
 Affirmations.

It all comes down to self-discipline. It’s easier to pick up your phone and scroll social media. But is that going to lead you to happiness? Probably not.

It’s much harder initially to practice self-discipline… but that is what leads to an easier life in the long term.

How do you want to feel? If you want to feel great, if you want to feel happy and positive… do the things that happy and positive people do.
Practice deep gratitude.
Meditate.
Exercise.
Affirmations… whatever works for you. Do it daily and create the habit of positive action. It will not take long before your quality of life starts to improve.

There’s a common misconception that habits are formed in only 21 days. But science shows the number is more like a minimum of 66 days to form lasting, or life- long habits.

Are you willing to commit a minimum of 66 days, in order to change your quality of life FOREVER? Sounds like pretty fair math to me.

Think forward to 1 year, 5 years in the future… How do you want to be living?
 Would the consistent emotions you currently experience be acceptable to you if they remained the same?

Or is there better waiting for you? Are you committed to do that daily work?

According to a recent study by the World Health Organization, around 121 million worldwide people suffer from depression. Shockingly, the percentage of depression is highest among high income countries like the USA, France and Australia.

The truth is, the quality of our lives is not determined by where we live, how much money we earn, or even the events and circumstances of our life.

The quality of our lives, is merely the quality of our perspective.

The quality of our lives, is determined by the quality of our perspective. How we see the world IS OUR WORLD.
 
 Whatever we choose to see, will shape who we will be.

Whatever you choose to do, consistently, will shape how you feel, and how you feel, of course will determine the quality of your life.

It makes sense then, to choose positive habits every morning that will ensure you are in a better mindset throughout the day. A mindset capable of responding positively to challenging people and challenging events. A mind state that can react calmly, with presence and peace to all situations.

Start your day feeling blessed, feeling blessed by thinking about all the things that ARE GREAT in your life.

Start your day in PEACE. Really feeling that peace and calm, by practicing meditation.

Start your day with purpose. Purpose from writing and reviewing your GOALS and MISSION for the day, and your life.

Start your day strong by getting in some exercise.

Start your day with positive habits that WILL… ABSOLUTELY create a POSITIVE MIND… and of course a positive life.

“Thank you for this new day.
Thank you for every opportunity today to experience LOVE… to experience closeness… thank you for every HUG… every smile… thank you for connection, for happiness, for true joy, for lightheartedness, for playfulness… for peace.
Thank you for every opportunity to be a positive influence today.
Thank you for every opportunity to smile, to laugh, to be free from judgement and be my true self today.
Thank you for these clear moments of higher connection, presence and alignment.
Thank you for joy. Thank you for inner peace. Thank you for needing nothing. Thank you for ease. Thank you for humility.
Thank you for connection. Easy connection. Lightness. Love. Presence. God moments.
Thank you for abundance.
Thank you for positive powerful solutions. Thank you for guiding me.
Thank you for flowing through me. Thank you for blessing me!”

It’s safe to say that most of us don’t wake up EVERY single day with a positive attitude.

There can be many reasons for this, some of which are totally valid. But no matter the circumstances, as conscious creators of our lives we can decide at any moment to change that.

Deciding to choose to start your morning in a powerful, proactive and positive way sets you up not only for a great day but ultimately a great life.

By creating habits that empower you and put your mind into a positive state, you become the creator of your life, rather than being the victim of your circumstances.

4 Simple And Powerful Ways To Have A Great Day, Every Day!

1. Express Gratitude

Sometimes we can get caught in the thinking that life is happening TO us rather than happening FOR us. But in reality, there is so much to be thankful for! If you have money in the bank and in your wallet, you in the top 8% of the richest people in the world. If there is food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a bed to sleep in and a roof over your head, you are richer than 75% of the people in the world. Your ability to read this means you don’t belong to the 200 million people in the world that cannot read. Start a daily gratitude practice by simply noting down 3 things you are thankful for in your life & your life will change..

2. Set Your Intentions For The Day Ahead

Choose to write intentions rather than goals. Focus on the feeling of the outcome of these intentions. Even if the doing itself is not so much fun, e.g. washing the dishes, the outcome (clean dishes) will make you feel calm and happy. Focus on the feeling of knowing it is done and you now have clean plates! Do the same process for all of the things you want to achieve in your day.

3. Smile! | Powerful Ways To Have A Great Day

There are some days when we simply do not feel like smiling or “putting on a happy face”. But science has proven that simply using your face to smile or even putting on a fake smile will increase your feelings of happiness. Neurologist Dr. Isha Gupta says that a smile sparks a chemical reaction in the brain, releasing certain hormones including dopamine and serotonin. “Dopamine increases our feelings of happiness. Serotonin release is associated with reduced stress. Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression and aggression.”

Researchers at the University of Kansas published findings that smiling even helps to reduce the body’s response to stress and lower heart rate in stressful situations.

4. Breathe | Powerful Ways To Have A Great Day

Well obviously you are breathing, or you’d be dead right?! This is true, however, the fact is a lot of us are not breathing properly. That is, we are not breathing deeply, slowly or regularly enough.

Breathing is useful for more than just staying alive. Breathing helps to activate the autonomic nervous system, which regulates certain body processes such as digestion, blood pressure and heart rate.

In times of stress, we ten to hold or restrict our breath and over time that can become a habit. A habit like that is definitely not ideal for managing moods or creating wellbeing.

Right now, try taking a long slow inhale of 6 seconds, then slowly exhaling for 6 seconds. Notice, how does your body feel? What about your mind? A lot can change from just one breath! Imagine what could happen if you began to mindfully focus your attention on your breath every day. The long terms effects can be phenomenal.

It’s safe to say that not all days will be good days. That is an unrealistic expectation to hold of yourself. But, with a few simple tools like the above practised consistently, you can give yourself the best chance of having a great day, no matter what happens around you.

Remember, you are in charge of your life, no one else. Love yourself enough to put in the effort and create your ideal day!

This Powerful Morning Process Will Change Your Life – PRE PAVE with INTENTION

Transcript – This Powerful Morning Process Will Change Your Life – PRE PAVE with INTENTION – (Motivational Speech)

The most important time… is the time you give to yourself.

And the most important time to do that is first thing in the morning…
 Because in the morning you set the intention for the rest of your day.


If you jump out of bed late, rushed, stressed, and in your head – that is what you are pre- paving for the rest of your day, and, in the case of most people… the rest of your life:
 More rush.
More stress.
 Less living the quality life you deserve.

The key is to get up early enough to allow yourself some time alone. Time to get clear about how you want to feel this day.


Time for intention.
 Time to get in the energy space of gratitude.
 Time for meditation.
 
It’s about pre-paving what you want for this day, and your LIFE.

Setting a clear intention and energy, so you attract those things into your experience.

Set the intention for what you want out of the day ahead and get grateful in advance.


This will make sure that you are an energy match to it, and it will soon be in your experience as you are setting the intention for it to be so.

Just go on a rampage of gratitude, of intention and appreciation…
 It might go something like this:

I am grateful today for every moment of calm, every moment of peace, every moment of real connection.

I am grateful for amazing conversations, grateful for every laugh and smile today.
I am grateful for every moment of happiness, especially when I can give that moment to someone else.

I am grateful for every hug. Every kiss. Every moment of real love.
I am grateful for every moment of true presence. When I really feel more connected to everyone and everything around me.

As I am writing these words I am really feeling each moment as if it is really happening, that is perhaps the most important part… The feeling of it.

Putting yourself in that feeling state as if it is really happening. Raising your vibration to that feeling.

Now what that is doing is setting the intention for the day… putting those amazing things in your conscious mind – and so your attention for this day is going to be zeroed in on trying to find and make those things a reality.

This is such a powerful process.


Everything in life is energy. How you show up each day is energy. Your energy is determined by your intention and how you feel.

So make it a priority to feel good.
 Make it a priority to give yourself time every morning.

Time to meditate, release stress and increase calm.
 Time in gratitude and pre-paving intention to get in the right energy.

Use whatever words feel natural to you when setting your gratitude intention. Whatever you are really grateful for, and whatever you want to show up in your experience as a FEELING.


Not things.
 FEEL-INGS.

Go as long as you like, let all that positive energy flow. See and feel yourself living that.

Then, act on it.
 
Give the first person you see that energy. The calm you wanted, the smiles, the joy, the hug.

Do this daily…
 Your life, will never be the same.

Using heartfelt words of appreciation in a unique and genuine way can elevate seemingly mundane interactions and deepen your relationships.

The challenge is often that when we feel the most appreciative, words can escape us.

Knowing just how to express our appreciation most genuinely is not always easy.  As a result, it often doesn’t get expressed at all.

Sometimes it’s just a passing thought that goes unsaid (like when the cashier at the grocery store double-bags a heavy load without asking.  As you envision the bag breaking and groceries spilling everywhere on the way to your car… you’re SO happy he thought to make the extra effort to double-bag them.  Yet you don’t say anything).

Other times, it’s the deeply felt ongoing feelings that don’t end up being shared (like when your significant other or life partner makes an effort to know your creature comforts.  And he or she does special little things each day to make your life more pleasurable).

DEEPER THOUGHTS

Using words of appreciation in heartfelt ways on a regular basis adds positive energy to the larger universal picture.  So, it not only brightens the days of others — it benefits you, as well.

Feeling appreciation is great – it heightens your energy frequency (which is beneficial in using the Law of Attraction).  But, taking it a step further and EXPRESSING appreciation truly deepens your connections with others.

Healthy and connected relationships are a key to happiness.  Certainly, expressing appreciation (often!) is a simple way to increase positivity in a powerfully contagious way.

IDEAS TO INCORPORATE

When expressing appreciation, here are a few helpful tips:

• Express your appreciation OFTEN in ongoing relationships.
• Work on expressing your appreciation on a daily basis during any type of episodic interaction, whenever you’re feeling grateful.
• Mix it up! Using the same simple “thank you” or “I appreciate that” type of message is GOOD.  Incorporating details about WHY you’re appreciative and finding creative ways to communicate it is even BETTER.  (See below for some examples that can help when you’re looking for ways to express your genuine appreciation.)
• Incorporate body language (as appropriate) to reinforce your message. Most communication is received with nonverbal cues.  So along with your words, add a smile, a hug or kiss, a touch on the arm, or something that’s in line with your sentiment.  That will create a more compelling message.

PHRASES TO EXPRESS APPRECIATION

Here are some “formulas” you can use in crafting your own unique expressions about how you value someone’s actions, efforts, intentions, presence or being.

“Thank you.  I REALLY appreciate that you _______ (insert an action for which you’re feeling grateful)…it really ______________ (what did it do?  Maybe it brightened your day.  Maybe it relieved some stress. Or made your day easier.  Or just made you happy.  Just add in a bit of detail about WHY you’re appreciative and what it meant to you.)”

“Wow.  That just put a huge smile on my face…I needed that.” (naturally, said with a huge smile)

“My heart feels happier all of a sudden – thank you for ________.” (Insert whatever someone did to make your heart to suddenly feel warm and fuzzy inside.)

“I don’t know where you learned to be so amazing at _____________ – I just want you to know how much I value that about you.”

“I really like (or love) that you _____________. (Insert an action.  Such as “that you thought to compliment my sister when she was clearly feeling a little down on herself.”)  That’s one of the things that makes you uniquely YOU and I appreciate so much.”

“I feel ____________ (Insert a feeling. Maybe safe, protected, connected, blissful, happy, etc.) when I’m with you, and I truly value that feeling.  Thank you.”

Just a simple “I love that! Thank you.” Saying this with a smile is a great quick appreciation phrase that can be used often in an ongoing relationship.  Great for using with a significant other or best friend.

BEYOND WORDS – FEELING APPRECIATION FOR EXPERIENCES

Beyond the sentiments we share with others, it’s also helpful to mention the benefits of practicing words of appreciation with regard to experiences.  Again, this practice raises our energy vibration and enhances our overall positivity mindset.

As an example, I was in a rush the other day driving to an appointment.  As luck would have it, as I’m driving, a gaggle of geese decided it was time to cross the road.  Right then and there.  And S—L—O—W—L—Y.

Rather than feeling frustrated or upset, I smiled.  I genuinely felt grateful for the message I just received.  I needed to slow down and relax.  Message noted (and with humor)!

It’s actually a fun exercise to explore how many experiences in our lives on a day-to-day basis could create a negative response.

Instead, we can choose to re-frame any experience.  We can choose the benefit of feeling true appreciation for SOME aspect of these experiences.

Just remember that each experience may very well be hiding a lesson we need.  Or a message, or reminder, or any number of things.

PUTTING IT TOGETHER

You can use the phrases above as a springboard for crafting your own unique messages in ways that suit your style.  So, mix up the sentiments, and craft your own.

Along that vein, spend some time thinking about other things you can do and say to express how valuable others are in your life.  (Whether in little ways or big!)

Most importantly, by expressing value with sincere words of appreciation as an ongoing practice, results are transformative and the benefits are heart-warming.

This Is How To Shift Your Perspective to Create a Better Life

Life is full of ups and downs. Good things and bad things happen to everyone. What if some of the things you interpret as bad could actually be good things in disguise? What if the things that happen to you and the choices you make are all a matter of perspective? You see, the way you perceive the world, the people in it, its events, and even yourself all has to do with your perspective.

A Simple Analogy

You probably know the old analogy about the glass of water: are you a glass-half-full or a glass-half-empty kind of person? It’s simple, but it illustrates a point about your perspective. It asks you to look inside yourself to determine if you tend to view things with a positive outlook (“the glass is half full”) or with a negative one (“the glass is half empty”).

But you’re allowed to change the way you look at that glass of water. If your first reaction tells you the glass if half empty, a simple shift in language—and perspective—can tell you the glass is half full instead. The amount of water hasn’t changed. Only your perspective has.

Shift Your Perspective

You can apply that same principle of shifting your perspective to other situations, too. Is a rainy day a spoiled hike or a chance to catch up on some reading? Is your child asking you to play with them a pesky interruption or a chance to spend some quality time with your kid while you can?

What about bigger events, like not getting the job you wanted or not getting into your graduate school of choice? What about a missed business deal or getting passed over for a promotion? At first glance, all of these things seem bad. If you were angry or sad, no one would blame you. But you can apply that shift in perspective to these kinds of big, even life-altering events, too.

Instead of treating them as missed opportunities, ask yourself what other opportunities are you now free to explore? If you didn’t get the job you wanted or into your school of choice, what if there’s another job or school out there that would be an even better fit for you?

If a business deal or promotion fell through, you probably now find yourself with more time on your hands than you expected. Ask yourself what opportunities at work you’ll be able to pursue now. Maybe a better business deal is about to present itself that you would have had to turn down had the initial deal went through. Maybe without that promotion, you won’t have to work overtime so much and can spend the time with your family or pursuing that hobby or volunteer cause you’ve always been interested in but haven’t had time for.

See how a shift in perspective changes the way you look at those “bad things” that happened? The situations haven’t changed a bit. The only thing that’s changed is how you look at them. You took your initial reaction of anger or grief and replaced it with more positive thoughts.

You Control Your Attitude

Now negative emotions have their place, of course. If something really bad happens, it’s okay to take time to grieve or feel frustration. But you can’t wallow in those negative emotions because they will destroy you. You’ll start doubting yourself or even hating yourself. If you feel stuck in your initial negative emotions, remember that you are in control of your attitude and thoughts.

Take the necessary time to process through those negative emotions then shift to a positive attitude. It takes courage and hope, but you have the power to control your perspective. And when you control your perspective to bring about positive thoughts, you’re well on your way to a better, happier life.

There’s lots of talk about creating a world where unity and cooperation replace disconnect and disharmony. It can seem overwhelming to do this when you look around at the ‘big picture’ problems our planet and her people face. Looking within, however, allows you to take back control of what you can do today to be part of the change you’d like to see in this world.

Giving of yourself is one way to begin this shift. The act of receiving, however, often gets less attention for its ability to unite. This may be because it is sometimes viewed as ‘selfish’ or ‘greedy’ to take. Yet when you receive in order to make yourself or a situation better, the act takes on a whole new meaning. Now you’re a part of an upward spark of higher consciousness living.

Learning the fine art of asking for help means ‘jump-starting’ the cooperative give and take cycle that creates more harmony in the world. Take a look at these 2 tips on asking for help, and allowing other people’s unique gifts to shine through and light up your life.

Be the Student | Asking For Help

Asking for help can be tough because you’re taking the chance that you’ll be rejected for your ‘lack’ of understanding. The key here is to approach this from a perspective of abundance. Instead of saying that you have no idea what you’re doing, instead try stating that you’re interested in learning more, and you heard that this person or group has a lot to teach on the subject.

By presenting yourself as a person seeking more knowledge, you shift the paradigm from ‘not enough’ to ‘plenty to go around’. You also uplift others by presenting them with an opportunity to use their passions and talents to help you. This kind of giving comes with a lot of benefits for both the giver and the receiver.

Express Gratitude | Asking For Help

A recent study found that those who feel grateful for an experience show more activity in parts of the brain that are associated with better learning and decision making – which can assist you with the very thing you need help with in the first place! Expressing your gratitude up front also lets the person you are seeking help from know that you respect their time and effort. Research shows that when people feel appreciated, they are more likely to feel empathy for you, and want an ongoing ‘give and take’ relationship.

Gratitude can come in many forms. For instance, the act of cooperation is a way of saying ‘thanks’ in many cultures around the world. So as you receive, you can also be giving – of your unique gifts. If someone helps you with a business goal, for example, you can spotlight their services on your online platforms. Or offer to provide them with assistance next time they are in need of your talents.

In this way, you not only raise yourself up, but also help uplift those who had a hand in shaping you into a better version of yourself. This creates a more unified world where giving – not disconnect – reigns supreme.
