This talk is a really beautiful reminder to stay grateful even in the hardest of circumstances. Made me tear up!

A beautiful speech….
But the question is gratitude to whom?
Why even such experience can’t get people back to God?
Everything this lovely lady said is right on point, but missing the strongest part of this beautiful puzzle and that is gratitude to God that we all going to meet one day
May God lead us all to him before our life ends 🤲🏼

I grew up loving nature and eventually considered myself an environmentalist – it got exhausting when everyone around me always framed everything as a fight. Eventually I stopped putting myself around people like that and found those who framed things as solutions and challenges. They’re usually pretty quiet, and busy, literally finding solutions and implementing them! Thank you for sharing this view point – more people need to hear about it!

Inspiring personal story
BUT – at “attitude of gratitude” has been a Judeo-Christian prayer practice for thousands of years
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (and dozens more in the Bible)
To be sure, many Christians (including this one) struggle with gratitude and don’t do it enough as we should
Yet it still abounds throughout the Bible
Ironic that one had to get a PhD to learn something that should be taught in Sunday School

but she didn’t have to get a PHD to do so? she literally mentions multiple times that it was a personal value of hers, that she told her middle school students to kiss their brain as a form of gratitude?

I giggled a little when she said she was grateful for nurses who got the IVs in first try, I love how she managed to connect us with her experience and not only that recognize the lightness in those moments as well. Showing that she’s living and prospering not waiting to do so. So powerful and beautiful she even regarded all sides of feelings during moments like this or huge feelings. Totally a work of art 🙂

حضرات السيدات والسادة..
🟢 لقد تعلمنا من تجاربنا الأخيرة ما يحدث من إلحاق الضرر بالرفاهية في كل مكان
إذا ضعف النظام المالي في بلد واحد، وإذا أصيب شخص واحد بالإنفلونزا فسيعرض ذلك الجميع للخطر،
وإذا سعى بلد واحد وراء امتلاك السلاح النووي فسيزداد خطر وقوع هجوم نووي بالنسبة لكل الدول،
وعندما يمارس المتطرفون العنف في منطقة جبلية واحدة سيعرض ذلك الناس من وراء البحار للخطر.

Favorite part of these comments is the number of folks expressing gratitude without feeling any need to give it to a god. Nice to see folks know the world is spectacular enough without needing there to be fairies beneath the garden.

I taught high school and every Friday the first 15 minutes of class were spent on gratitude. In their notebooks they had a section for gratitude and they would write five things that occurred that week or that they felt that week, for which they were grateful. Then we went around the room and everyone shared one. I asked them to save their gratitude lists put them in their sock drawers and look at them again in 10 years. I hope that they did it.

QUESTION – can gratitude actually be viewed on various scans? Can we see differences in the brains of grateful people?
I had to watch this twice – based on the title and speaker credentials, I was hoping to see some analytical, quantitative measurements – is that possible?

I am being treated for my 4th cancer since 2011. I always thank the receptionists, the weigh-in nurse, the HaemOnc nurses, the techs, and the doctors who are just as Christina describes them: smart, caring, competent, humorous. I am not religious, but these folks are my angels. They have my undying trust, thanks, and GRATITUDE.

This is why it is so important to have empathetic health professionals, it is hard to feel gratitude when you feel like things are being done to you rather than feeling you are being cared for.

Gratitude is a powerful force! I have spent the last several years focusing on all the great things going on in my life. (Daily) gratitude and thanksgiving has changed my life. I have spend at least 20 years of my life on depression medication. I no longer take these kinds of drugs. Life is precious and God is so faithful to help us move forward to a new and compelling future.
