Lyrics Gratitude (Inspirational Speech) - Fearless Soul

When you get grateful for what you have now
You will soon have more to be grateful for and it's so true
When you send out those feelings of gratitude, what happens?
You become instantaneously happy, in this moment
When you are grateful and happy with life, as it stands today
So many more things will flow into your life to be happy and grateful for

And the reverse is also true
If you feel like there is nothing to be grateful for, what are you focused on?
You're focused on everything you don't want
You are focused on everything you don't have
And what do you then think you will attract into your experience?
Exactly, more of what you don't want

Make it your mission to sit down every day and become grateful
Get grateful for those two gifts you have called eyes, many aren't so lucky
Get grateful for the ears that can here this music
Get grateful for that person in your life that made a difference
Get grateful for your tough times, because they helped develop your strength and spirit
Get grateful for your life
There is so much to be grateful for

There's something to be said about being appreciative and grateful
You know whether you're thanking God, or life
Or whether you're looking to a person in your world and just saying thank you
There's something really special about that
I mean, there's something very real about moments where you can just sit by yourself
And look at your life, and just say thank you

You know, thank you for this gift
Thank you for this ride that I'm on, thank you for this journey
And a lot of people go through their lives
Without experiencing the beauty of these moments

Your life, although perhaps filled with many imperfections, is still an experience
It's an experience that people in their final moments
Would do anything just to grasp onto for a little while longer

Can you imagine? As you hear this, there are people who are taking their final breaths
Taking their final breaths on this planet
Looking back at their lives and wishing they could have done more
Meanwhile, we have this experience, we are alive, we're breathing air
Our hearts are pumping, our brain is doing billions of operations per second
Just to keep the game going for us
We can't find reasons to be grateful for that?
We can't, as human beings, be appreciative for that?

There's an entire spectrum of life you are missing out on
When you don't take moments to just feel
Just feel!

Just create moments of gratitude within yourself
Just for the sake of being appreciative
For the sake of being alive
That alone will change your life
That will make you human again
That will disconnect you from this game of consumerism
And this dog-eat-dog world we've allegedly created
That will disconnect you from the insanity of society
And will reconnect you with something greater than yourself

And I don't care what you call it, call it god, call it the universe, call it life or magic
When you begin to be appreciative for life
There is a certain power that will bring you even more reasons to be appreciative
It's one of life's greatest paradoxes
When you are in a state of needing this and needing that
It doesn't matter how much you acquire, you will never have enough
But, you can have the courage to be grateful for what you already have
Life will bless you with even more

You know, you can decide, in this moment, to give it up
Give up the complaining, give up the blaming and the accusing
Give up the gossiping and the whining and instead
Realize you are on an incredible journey, and fall in love with every second of it
That's when you will truly come to life
