Gratitude Video Transcript
Which statement are you? I deserve better. OR I’m grateful and own my destiny.
Here’s a great quote by Randy Pausch, “Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other.” If you want to read a great book on living life to the fullest and the power of gratitude, check out his book, The Last Lecture. It’s a compilation of the author’s life lessons that was delivered to his students shortly after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis.
Gratitude is being thankful and having appreciation. When you’re grateful for what you have, you’re opening yourself up for more opportunities in all facets of life.
When you’re entitled, you’re closing yourself off. You’re expecting something to happen or someone to do something. This mismanaged expectation can lead to disappointment and then you’re off to the races on a downward negative spiral.
When you shift your mindset to gratitude, you’ll start to notice how much life has to offer. I’m grateful that you trusted me enough to spend your hard earned money and precious time to watch this video course. I’m grateful that as a woman you have the right and freedom to work and earn a decent living. I always like to bring up this fact. Until the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, which was less than 50 years ago, women could be denied credit simply based on being a woman or unmarried. I’m grateful that although I bumbled my way through my first career transition, I learned so much from it that I’m able to share that knowledge with you today.
When you start to shift your mindset to a place of gratitude, you’ll also recognize how much the world has to offer. Sure, women still make less than men for equal work but by educating yourself and approaching the job search with a more gracious mindset, you, as one woman, as one human, can start leveling the playing field.
Here’s your takeaway: Leave the entitlement attitude behind and bring on the gratitude mindset. Open your eyes and heart and be grateful for what the world has to offer.
