Gratitude can help us stay grounded, present, and connected to what matters.But I think there is an important part of the conversation that gets overlooked.Sometimes, before you can genuinely feel grateful, you need to let yourself sit in the heavier emotions first.In this episode, I talk about one of those moments for me. I was tired, frustrated, physically worn down, and feeling like I should be getting more done. Eventually, I realized that what I really needed was recovery.That shift helped me recognize how far I have come, what I am capable of now, and how much there is to appreciate.But I do not think I could have gotten there by immediately forcing myself into gratitude.Sometimes you need to feel frustrated.Sometimes you need to feel sad.Sometimes you need to acknowledge that you are spent.Then, when those feelings have had some space, gratitude can help you regain perspective.You can appreciate your life and still have difficult moments.You can be grateful and still need rest.And you can allow yourself to feel what you feel without letting those emotions become the entire story.

Bravado is not the same as courage. In this episode, John Grdina explores authentic manhood, faith, community, and serving others, making the case that true strength lies in humility, service, and spiritual connection, not dominance or conquest.John breaks down the cultural lie of bravado culture and contrasts it with Jesus' own teaching on leadership: deny yourself, take up your cross, and serve. Drawing on James 5:16, this episode digs into the power of prayer shared in community, why gratitude and praise anchor a man in his faith, and how a simple act of service from a young woman on a cross country team became a real-life picture of everything this episode is about. This is a call for men to stop mentoring from the sidelines and start leading through humility, presence, and sacrifice.Key topics covered:- The contrast between bravado and true courage- The importance of fatherhood and mentorship- Jesus' teachings on leadership and humility- The role of prayer and community in strength- The example of young women serving others- The call to serve rather than dominate- The significance of gratitude and praise- Practical ways to serve and lead in daily lifeTakeaways:- Bravado is not the same as courage; true strength is humility- Real manhood is shown through service, not conquest- Prayer is a power source, meant to be shared in community- Men must be present and active in mentoring and leading- Gratitude and praise keep a man anchored in faith- Serving others is the ultimate expression of strength- Authentic leadership is rooted in humility and sacrificeChapters:00:00 The cultural lie of bravado and false strength01:51 Jesus' definition of manhood: denying self and serving04:06 The importance of praise and gratitude in daily life06:29 The example of young women serving in real life08:25 Praying for humility, strength, and community09:12 Closing prayer and encouragement to men to act nowIf this episode helps you, like it, share it, and subscribe.

This episode is a re-release; it originally aired on April 6, 2014. Award-winning nature cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg discusses his breathtaking time-lapse photography and his viral video "Gratitude." He tells Oprah why he believes focusing on nature's beauty helps us experience a truer spiritual connection to the world around us and to the deepest parts of our souls. Louie says that the awe of nature can make us more present and mindful, and that it can help a person listen to his or her inner voice. Louie has filmed many different facets of nature in his career, but one subject has particularly fascinated him: bees. He explains what interests him about these creatures and why their dwindling population may present "the most serious environmental threat to mankind." Hosted on Acast.

How we respond to stress and emotions can have a powerful impact on our relationships, health, and longevity. In this episode, I'm joined by psychologist and author Elisha Goldstein as we discuss making “Tiny Shifts” that help us recognize emotional patterns, regulate our nervous system, shift our perspective, and respond more intentionally. We talk about why emotional regulation is a skill we can practice, how small changes can create lasting impact, and simple tools for navigating stress, relationships, parenting, and everyday life. → Leave Us A Voice Message!

You only get about 80 summers. How many of yours have already passed—and are you actually enjoying the life you're living? Rebecca Lynn joins Hatem Gabr to talk about intentional living, happiness, relationships, gratitude, health, purpose and why we shouldn't wait for a crisis to start truly living. You only get about 80 summers. How many of yours have already passed—and are you actually enjoying the life you're living? Rebecca Lynn joins Hatem Gabr on Live From America for an honest conversation about intentional living, happiness, relationships, Gratitude, health, purpose and why we shouldn't wait for a crisis to start truly living. Rebecca shares the moment in her early 40s when she realized she was spending more of her life unhappy than happy. Sitting alone on her porch around her 40th birthday, she began questioning the way she was living and recognized that something needed to change. But why do so many of us wait? We wait for the perfect relationship. The promotion. More money. The kids to grow up. Retirement. A major birthday. Sometimes even a tragedy. This conversation explores what happens when you stop waiting for life to begin and start intentionally experiencing the life you already have. Rebecca and Hatem discuss the idea that we may only experience around 80 summers in a lifetime—and why thinking about life that way doesn't have to be depressing. Instead, it can be a reminder to appreciate ordinary moments, relationships, experiences and the people around us. They also discuss how social media has changed the way we experience life, the danger of constantly comparing ourselves to others, why material success doesn't necessarily create happiness, and why meaningful memories can ultimately matter more than accumulating things. The conversation concludes with five fundamental keys to a happier life: • Health and well-being • Strong relationships • Purpose • Gratitude • Inner peace Rebecca also discusses authenticity on social media, maintaining meaningful connections with followers, staying playful and curious as we get older, and learning to surround ourselves with people who bring positive energy into our lives. About Rebecca @rebeccalynne_d/ At 57 Rebecca has spent years building a career she loves while navigating the beautiful—and sometimes messy—realities of relationships, family, friendship, reinvention, and getting older. She's strong, curious, unapologetically feminine, and believes that life doesn't get smaller with age—it gets more intentional. With the idea that we may only have 80 summers to live, Rebecca is learning to stop waiting for the “right time” and start making the moments she has count as well as recognizing not everything we celebrate has to be monumental. The little moments add up to our life. @rebeccalynne_d/ The bigger question of this episode is simple: Are you preparing to live—or are you actually living? If this conversation makes you think differently about your own life, share it with someone you want to spend a few more summers with.

You give your team something rare. A four-day week. Flexible hours. Real breathing room. And for a while, it works beautifully. Then, gradually, the gratitude fades. The expectation creeps in. And suddenly, the gift feels like a given. This is one of the more uncomfortable paradoxes of building a genuinely good workplace: the better the culture you create, the faster it becomes the new normal. And once people stop noticing it, they start resenting any friction that interrupts it. This episode is part of The Work Edit, a format where I sit down with someone facing a real professional challenge and we work through it together. My guest is Marilla, who has spent eight years building Equality Media and Marketing, a 30-person agency where flexible time is a core part of the culture. Marilla came to me with a challenge I hear a lot from leaders of genuinely good workplaces: what do you do when your team starts taking the culture for granted? If you lead people, this one is full of things you can take straight into your week: The goat story: an ancient parable that explains why people stop appreciating what's good, and how to use it as a leadership tool Why Inventium runs a Four Day Week policy reset every one to two years, and the specific questions that make those conversations productive Why checking emails for 45 minutes feels like "working all night", and what that distortion does to team morale What to do when one or two people are quietly poisoning the culture, and when to stop trying to bring them around The "deal or no deal" conversation: how to give people a genuine choice about whether they're still on the bus The single question I ask before any team-wide pep talk, to make sure I'm not just avoiding a direct conversation I need to have Key quotes "All I can control is how I approach the conversation and the messages that I deliver. I can't control how that other person is gonna react." "Is this about the minority or the majority? Because that's really unfair if it's just the minority that's the root cause of what's happening."

In this episode: The Gap and The Gain framework for appreciating your progress on the path to financial independenceEpisode SummaryAdam Coelho leads a 22-minute meditation inspired by The Gap and The Gain. Rather than measuring against a moving ideal, listeners compare where they are now with where they were four or five years ago. The practice replaces impatience about reaching FI with appreciation for current progress and the life unfolding today.Resources & Books MentionedThe Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin HardyMindful FIRE Legends communityDownload my FI Life JumpstartKey TakeawaysMeasuring against an ever-moving ideal creates “the gap”; measuring backward reveals “the gain.”Notice how “not there yet” thoughts feel in the body before trying to change them.Recall professional, personal, and financial progress from the past four or five years.When caught in the gap, ask “Is this useful?” and shift toward gratitude, learning, or a concrete gain.Join the Mindful FIRE Legends community at MindfulFIRE.org/join.

Psalm 138:1-3 MSGThank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!” Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!” Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.In this passage, King David's gratitude is all encompassing. Everything in him says “Thank you.” Nothing is held back. All of his heart, soul and mind kneel and worship God.David's gratitude is expressed specifically about God's love, His faithfulness, His name, and His Word.David's gratitude has an origin and a reason for being: the moment I called out, You stepped in and brought strength.Gratitude cannot be fully expressed until the reason for gratitude has been fully recognized. Our busy, often distracted lives can cause us to miss God's goodness. Our self-focused perspective can keep our eyes on our perceived lack, not our realized gain.Listen again to David's appeal to God: Thank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!” Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!” Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength. If you know Christ today, if you have a relationship with God, then He has indeed stepped in; He has most certainly made your life large with strength, even in Your darkest moments. There is power for daily living in gratitude.What are areas of you life, or people in your life that you should express your gratefulness right now?Can you thank him for the challenges too, knowing He will use them for you good?Let's pray using David's words: “Thank you! Everything in me says ‘Thank you!' Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!” Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength. As above, so below.” - Amen

Every golfer has been there. One minute you are feeling confident, and the next you are hitting balls out of bounds, finding every water hazard, chunking bunker shots, topping drives, and wondering if you have forgotten how to play golf. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. In this episode of the Golf Party Live Podcast, Donna gets personal and shares her own experience with golf chaos this year. It's an honest conversation about why difficult rounds happen, why we panic, and how to reset mentally so one bad shot—or even one bad hole—doesn't ruin your entire day. In this episode, we discuss: ● What golf chaos really looks like: ● Out-of-bounds shots ● Lost balls ● Water hazards ● Bunkers that seem impossible to escape ● Topped shots and missed hits ● Why this isn't failure—it's simply part of the game of golf ● Why golfers panic when things start going wrong ● The pressure we put on ourselves to play the "perfect" round ● Why you don't have to finish every hole perfectly ● Practical strategies for getting back on track after a bad shot or bad hole ● The mental side of golf: ● Nervous energy ● Negative thought spirals ● Staying emotionally in control ● How to reset your mindset and regain confidence ● One of the biggest practice mistakes golfers make: ● Hitting balls with no target and no purpose ● Why intentional practice leads to better performance on the course ● Keeping golf in perspective: ● Every golfer has good days and bad days ● Gratitude for being outside, spending time with friends, and playing a game we love Whether you're a beginner or an experienced golfer, this episode is a reminder that bad rounds happen to everyone. The key isn't avoiding golf chaos—it's learning how to respond when it shows up. Thank you for listening to the Golf Party Live Podcast! If this episode resonated with you, please share it with one of your golfing friends—especially someone who needs the reminder that one bad shot doesn't define their round. As always… have fun and GO LOW!
Réussir sa prise de poste demande moins de tout contrôler que de clarifier vos priorités, protéger votre énergie et construire vos premiers résultats.Dans cet épisode issu d'un workshop, Jenny Chammas vous accompagne dans les 100 premiers jours d'un nouveau poste, une période déterminante pour prendre vos marques, comprendre votre environnement et commencer à créer de l'impact sans vous épuiser.Dans cet épisode, vous découvrez comment :repérer les erreurs fréquentes d'une prise de poste, comme vouloir faire ses preuves trop vite, dire oui à tout ou négliger la phase d'observation ;renforcer votre confiance en vous en vous projetant dans les six prochains mois et en adoptant une posture professionnelle plus solide ;définir jusqu'à trois priorités et reprendre la maîtrise de votre gestion du temps pour ne pas laisser l'agenda des autres gouverner le vôtre ;poser des limites, apprendre à dire non ou plus tard, et faire de votre gestion de l'agenda un véritable acte de leadership ;dépasser la peur de l'échec, identifier vos propres critères de succès et créer des résultats rapides — vos premiers quick wins — sans chercher la perfection.Une prise de poste de dirigeante est toujours une phase d'apprentissage. Même avec de l'expérience, vous devez découvrir une nouvelle culture d'entreprise, de nouveaux interlocuteurs, de nouveaux outils et parfois une nouvelle manière de diriger.

n episode 194 of the Get Reelisms podcast, filmmakers Adam Chase Rani and Christine Chen discuss Christine's recent health crisis: after an MRI on May 1, doctors found a brain tumor, and she is scheduled for surgery on May 19 to remove it. Christine describes sporadic focal seizures starting the previous summer, including brief left-side freezes while fully conscious, one occurring publicly at a Canon networking event and twice while driving, leading to her no longer being allowed to drive. They criticize the U.S. healthcare system, including receiving results via a CD and delayed medical follow-up, and note her surgery was expedited through her surgeon brother's connections. They use dark humor about naming the tumor “Tumi,” potential sketches, filmmaking memories, and plan a podcast pause until June while promoting getrealisms.com during recovery.

This lecture explores the theme of fear in The Path to Perfection, examining how fear can both hinder and guide personal growth. It will discuss the different forms fear takes—such as fear of failure, judgment, and the unknown—and how these emotions can distance individuals from spiritual and personal fulfillment. The session will also highlight practical ways to confront and transform fear into a tool for self-awareness, resilience, and inner strength on the journey toward perfection. Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman presents a reflective and insightful talk centered on Shaykh Masihullah Khan's The Path to Perfection, focusing on the chapter “Love of the World.” Through a moving reading of the text and thoughtful commentary, he brings its timeless spiritual lessons into conversation with the realities of modern life. The talk offers clear, practical guidance on navigating today's challenges while cultivating sincerity, balance, and a deeper connection to what truly matters. In this series Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman covers the book titled, 'Essentials of Islamic Spirituality' previously known as 'The Path to Perfection'.

What happens when life keeps coming at you and you're trying to protect your peace? Paul wrote the letter to the Philippians from a prison cell — and instead of opening with a complaint, he opened with thanksgiving. His chains didn't constrain his compassion. His suffering didn't shrink his capacity to love.In this message, Pastor Delman Coates unpacks how to stay aligned with God in a world that's constantly trying to throw you off:
This week, Nachi Gordon sits down with philanthropists Yossi Hoch and Simcha Shain to talk about the world of tzedakah, from the pressure donors carry to the changing psychology of giving. They open up about what has shifted since their parents' generation, how technology and platforms like Charidy have reshaped fundraising, and why some of the most established organizations now struggle to compete with flashier, newer causes. Along the way they share candid stories about donors who quietly write six figure checks and others who give up their Shabbos soda money, and why both matter equally. The conversation turns personal as Yossi and Simcha discuss the hidden shame that comes with losing the ability to give, the toll of unfulfilled pledges, and what it really means to give with a full heart rather than a full wallet. They also dig into Shuvu, the organization educating thousands of children across Israel, including former hostage Bar Kuperstein, and share the story of how each of them first got involved. It's a wide ranging, honest look at what tzedakah costs, what it gives back, and why every dollar, no matter the size, counts.
