“Begin with thankfulness and watch things begin to change.” - Topher Kearby

This is a line from one of the gratitude poems we share in this episode. Gratitude really does change things and helps shift negative perspective to positive. It can bring peace in chaos, calm in turmoil, and love in conflict. Life is 50/50, but we are meant to have joy. And gratitude is a wonderful way to invite more joy into life.

Here are the poems we shared in this episode:

Thankfulness isn’t a result

Of your situation, It’s a

Mindset despite your situation.

It’s a choice. It’s a desire to

Look within yourself and see

The good instead of focusing on

What’s wrong. That moment you

Make the change in your mind

And your heart

Is the same time

When your dreams become possible.

And life becomes meaningful.

Don’t wait for things to change

Before you become thankful;

Begin with thankfulness and

Watch things begin to change.

By Topher Kearby

Thankful.

Today I am thankful for eyes that

Have come to see that life will not

Always be easy. That roads will bend.

That lines will blur. That tides will

Rise. And that storms will come. I am

Thankful for those lights that took

The form of human. Who shone into me

When I was at my lowest. Who were not

Afraid of sadness. Or darkness. Or the

Many layers that wove themselves around

Me and made me hard to understand.

Or reach. Or even hard to love sometimes.

I am thankful for skies that change

Color. For paths that change direction.

And for seasons that remind me that we

Are all just one breath away from a new

Beginning. I am thankful, knowing that

Kindness still exists. That the truth is

Out there. That faith can move mountains.

And that I was made for every last bit of it.
