There is an old saying that if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still make noise? It does, and it is a beautiful and frightening sound. It is impossible for anxiety and fear to exist in the same thought as gratitude; when anxiousness comes on, Nick likes to meditate on gratitude. After being jolted by a massive tree that fell in in his front yard, Nick realized that we look at things and admire their strength and beauty and suddenly the right wind can knock them down.
