Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Do you know why gratitude is so important?

It's not just because of the law of attraction or because it feels good or because

a thousand people have told you to create a gratitude list.

No.

It is because appreciation brings you strength.

Think about it when you feel good, when you feel full of appreciation for things in your life,

it's like saying, I have enough. It makes you strong. Think about it. A person who is grateful, a person who feels appreciation for

their work, for their relationships, for their health, for their life, they are harder to destabilize.

I remember when I had my corporate job, various different jobs, whenever there was a restructure or a reorg or new

features were released for the tech platforms that I represented, there was always a lot of panic.

People would go, what about this, what about that? Is my job safe? A lot of things would come up.

I understand change scares people. But the people who are just rooted in appreciation for their skills,

their knowledge, their experience, their job as they currently had it, their team, products

they worked on, they're not as easy to get riled up, they're not as easy to upset,

they are in their steadiness. So why wouldn't you do this? Why wouldn't you give yourself

this extra huge emotional boost? Feeling good, feeling grounded, and realizing that just having

clean running water to drink, to wash yourself with, having food in the fridge, having shelter,

having Wi-Fi, these are blessings, these are privileges. We are so, oh my gosh, to say that

we're blessed is the biggest understatement. Think about other parts of the world. Think about

what your ancestors would say about your lifestyle today. My friends, there is so much to appreciate when we pause, when we slow down,

when we just realize, my gosh, I've got my limbs, I've got my hearing, I've got my senses,
