TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:01.197 --> 00:00:07.057
Hello, my valued listeners. This is Marlene Greenleaf, and I want to thank you
00:00:07.057 --> 00:00:11.657
for joining me today for another episode of Living in Your Power.
00:00:12.937 --> 00:00:18.257
As we approach Thanksgiving, I know many of us are taking a moment to reflect,
00:00:18.577 --> 00:00:23.737
not just on the joys and blessings of our lives, but also on the challenges
00:00:23.737 --> 00:00:27.257
we've faced and the strength we've discovered along the way.
00:00:28.497 --> 00:00:34.277
This year has bought its share of uncertainty, and for many of us,
00:00:34.457 --> 00:00:36.877
that uncertainty weighs heavily.
00:00:37.977 --> 00:00:45.097
But today, I want us to pause and remember that even in difficult times,
00:00:45.497 --> 00:00:51.257
there is always something to be thankful for, and there is always hope.
00:00:52.397 --> 00:00:59.077
Let's embrace both as they are the foundation of our resilience.
00:01:00.917 --> 00:01:05.677
I want to remind you that this is not the end of our journey.
00:01:05.917 --> 00:01:07.737
It's simply another chapter.
00:01:08.457 --> 00:01:15.857
No matter who sits in office or what policies come to pass, our individual power,
00:01:15.877 --> 00:01:18.457
the power we hold in our minds,
00:01:18.757 --> 00:01:24.477
our hearts, and our communities remains unshakable.
00:01:25.457 --> 00:01:32.057
And as we reflect on the power of thankfulness, I want to encourage you to think
00:01:32.057 --> 00:01:38.397
about the things, people, and moments that bring light to your life.
00:01:40.197 --> 00:01:43.437
Gratitude isn't just about acknowledging the good.
00:01:44.257 --> 00:01:50.417
It's about finding beauty and strength in the midst of challenges.
00:01:51.457 --> 00:01:58.577
When we focus on what we are thankful for, we remind ourselves of all that we've
00:01:58.577 --> 00:02:05.337
gained, all that we've learned, and all that we have the power to create moving forward.
00:02:07.397 --> 00:02:12.117
I've found myself reflecting a lot lately on what I'm grateful for.
00:02:12.857 --> 00:02:19.517
As this year has been a mix of highs and lows, but I'm thankful for the resilience
00:02:19.517 --> 00:02:21.477
I've discovered within myself.
00:02:22.277 --> 00:02:27.997
I'm grateful for the community that surrounds me and for the lessons that come
00:02:27.997 --> 00:02:30.257
from both success and adversity.
00:02:31.297 --> 00:02:36.917
It's not always easy to see the blessings in hard times. But when we take a
00:02:36.917 --> 00:02:42.657
step back, we realize how far we've come and how much we have to hold on to.
00:02:45.140 --> 00:02:51.060
So as you prepare for Thanksgiving, I encourage you to take time to reflect.
00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:54.740
What are you most thankful for for this season?
00:02:55.820 --> 00:03:01.520
Is it your loved ones? Is it your health? Your strength?
00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:07.500
Or perhaps it's the opportunity to grow and learn even in the face of uncertainty?
00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:16.560
Let's carry thankfulness in our hearts Whatever the decision is that you are
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.340
thankful for Not just during the holidays,
00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:27.540
but every day Gratitude is a quiet power that can shift our perspective Strengthen
00:03:27.540 --> 00:03:31.500
our results And remind us of what truly matters,
00:03:32.700 --> 00:03:35.100
So before we close today,
00:03:36.540 --> 00:03:38.500
Let's take a deep breath together.
00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:49.220
Let this be your moment of gratitude For this breath,
