Mindfulness mode. Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, you owe me.

Hey, Mindful Tribe, thank you so much for joining today. Guess what? Well, you would know this if you live in Canada.

Today is Thanksgiving Sunday. I mean, officially tomorrow Monday,

October 11th is Thanksgiving, but a lot of us celebrate Thanksgiving on Sunday and we've been

celebrating here with friends and family and it's been a beautiful day. And so I entitled my

episode naturally with the word gratitude in it,

but I called it fierce and fervent gratitude. So why did I call it fierce and fervent gratitude?

First of all, I mean, we're all familiar enough with the word gratitude. And I think you're familiar enough with how important it is to have gratitude in our lives.

I mean, if you ever read any self-help books or you go on any kind of like podcasts or trainings about mindset,

trainings about how to move forward in your life.

Well, gratitude is almost always mentioned.

Sometimes it's quite a major part of the training.

Well, gratitude is simply the quality of feeling, you know, grateful or thankful.

And I think as humans, we know it's the right thing.

I think most of us believe that it's the right thing to feel grateful for what we have in

our lives.

But sometimes it doesn't come like real natural, naturally. You know, sometimes, you know, we know that that's what we're supposed to do,

but when I'm being grateful, is it really truly coming from my heart? I mean, there have been times when I've asked myself that.

And I've had a gratitude journal and I've, you know, had, you know, like habits and routines

where I've gone for quite a long time where every day I would write in my gratitude journal.

And I would want to write something different each day.

And, you know, today I'm grateful for the grass and the beautiful, the beautiful green grass that I see when I go outside or whatever it is.
