Summary

Find the Light, Love, and Lessons in Everything: Gratitude is like a muscle that needs to be exercised, even when you are not feeling up to it. Try to find the silver lining in your past, present, and future experiences, rather than dwelling on the negative. Feed Into the Positive, Don’t Vote For the Negative: The mathematical equation for coincidence (or luck) is that your attention plus your intention equals the coincidences that occur in your life. Don’t spend your time worrying about what might happen or voting for what others want for you, instead of what you want for yourself. Cancel the negative, clear your mind, and connect with what inspires you Create Gratitude Triggers: Find little ways to remind yourself to be grateful throughout the day, like saying “thank you” for stop lights for keeping you safe, rather than being angered at an ever-so-slight delay or saying a prayer at mealtime. Taking out the trash used to be a hated activity for me, until I started using that time to think about what I wanted in life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:09.2	flow insurers, you know, I'm tired of people spreading the flu with being
0:13.2	influencers and why don't we start spreading the flow and there's a

0:27.0	up there's a process to be in the flow and the first of that process was
0:32.2	mentioned in that recording and its appreciation, appreciation is to add value
0:38.4	to everything we see by finding the light, the love and the lessons in that
0:42.1	value. The word appreciation means to add value and in order to add value
0:46.8	you have to have one assumption and that assumption is that you're not living
0:51.2	in a zero-sum game. Giving receiving or one a zero-sum game
0:55.9	makes everything a trade and negotiation, quid pro quo,
0:59.6	even giving itself people live in transactional worlds of
1:03.6	zero-sum where the more they give, the more they receive. That may be true
1:08.4	but it's only true if you're spreading the flu and you think that you are an
1:12.8	influencer, be in the flow and realize that when you not only
1:18.2	give the reason you get more when you give is somebody also receives and
1:23.1	receiving itself is part and parcel of giving. They are one
1:27.5	and when we can understand appreciation to its fullest that when we ask for help
1:32.1	we are adding value equal to when we give. We are giving a gift when we ask for help
1:37.8	and so the first process of gratitude is appreciation which most people are
