Some thoughts on Thanksgiving and actually being thankful for what you have, beyond just celebrating a holiday.

Gratitude beyond one day. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Today is Thanksgiving, this is when I’m recording this, right. So we have a big day. And we actually had a family deal to where the family decided that we were going to risk getting together. In order to have Thanksgiving, we did it in a very safe way and everything else.

But it despite COVID of 2020, that there was very much a very large, get together. In doing so we had basically all the same feelings that you always end up with when you’re around a lot of family. And it’s really easy to be grateful.

When you’re around really great people for a period of time the kids get to run around and just get to the cells to the point to where they’re exhausted from all of the exposure to other people, people that they don’t see for most of the year, in. So it’s really easy to sit back and be grateful during this time.

But, I think the real importance of Thanksgiving is to realize that that you need to be thankful, beyond Thanksgiving, that you shouldn’t just get caught up in the holidays and know about feelings and everything that come with holidays.

But really see if you can carry that on beyond the holidays, can you be thankful when time stopped necessarily the best 2020 is a pretty crazy year, a whole bunch of stuff happening and a lot of it would not be considered good by a lot of people.

So you know, I think that’s pretty, pretty legitimate to be able to say that’s a tough, tough time to come up with things you’re thankful for. But you got to, you got to look a little bit bigger, and beyond and look at all the fabulous things that you have going in your life, regardless of where you are on Earth.

If you’re still breathing, if you’re still living, you’ve got something to be thankful for at least one thing, and that one thing becomes a million things when you look at it from the right perspective. So just keep that in mind.

We’re going to continue our series on headlines starting again tomorrow.

But I just wanted to take this time out, even though you’re probably seeing this beyond Thanksgiving, even more important that you’re seeing it beyond thanksgiving to have take some time out to really think of what you’re grateful for.

And try to keep that going year round. Try and keep that thought pattern. Because if you’ve noticed, I don’t know that maybe it’s just me. But the times that I’ve had the greatest amount of growth, were the times that I was very secure in where I was, and where I had been up till that point and being happy with where I am not satisfied, but happy with where I am.

And okay with the fact that if it all ended tomorrow, I I’d be okay with that, you know, I’d be I’d be thankful. And if you can, if you can adapt that I think your whole life will be better. And there’s no way that can’t equal more success in your life. There’s no way that you can’t take that idea and be able to grow it from there. Because we talk a lot about business success on these videos.

So that’s really if you want to take it to the next level. Start with being grateful with where you’re at. Just a little point, something that people bring up every year. I like to bring it up, hopefully a couple times beyond just this time of year, but it’s a it’s on everyone’s mind. So I can’t I can’t ignore it.
