The more that we can be in a grateful state, the more that we can appreciate what we have while working for what we want! Nick explains his experience with this process!
Nick Hanson: It's so easy to focus on what we want versus what we have. He says by practicing gratitude, we can get there a lot faster. Hanson: Sometimes you don't get what you want, but you get what we need.
Hey, Nick Hanson from Cadre here wanted to talk a little bit about what you want versus what you have. And, you know, if you're anything like me, there could be a big golf and a big difference, you know, between those. And it's so easy to focus on what we want versus what we have. You know, a lot of times we don't realize how far we've come or how much closer, you know, we get to wanting what we have. But I was listening to a great talk today by Tony Robbins where it just talks about, you know, to be in the beautiful, blissful state as much as possible, you know, without ignoring, you know, what, whatever trauma we have or whatever problems that we need to face.
But the more that we can be in that state, the more likely we are going to be able to, you know, eventually get what we want, because what we really want is to be, you know, in that state. And paradoxically, the more that we. We kind of stick in this beautiful state, that the easier time that we're going to be able to get what we want. And I think, and also, paradoxically, by practicing gratitude, I think we can get there a lot faster as well. And sometimes you may get what you want and realize it's not what you want.
This thing with the human mind that I think we're trained from 2 million years or whatever of existence to focus on things that are wrong, things that are wrong in the environment, what can change, what's dangerous, what do I need to do to survive? But the lions aren't really after us anymore. I think the more that we can tap into this spiritual side of ourselves and spiritual, let's use it as broadly as possible, this higher self, you know, this thing outside of yourself. And so I think the more that we can tap in on that, the more we can eventually get what we want.
And as the Rolling Stone sign, sometimes you don't get what you want, but you get what you need. And I do believe that no matter what, if we just keep trying and keep staying grateful that, you know, awesome things come into our life, and every good and perfect gift comes from the heavenly Father of lights above. That's from the Bible. If you're not down with the Bible, no worries. You know, it's just like, I really do believe that good stuff comes to us. And a lot of times if I'm grasping and reaching and desiring to want and trying to get this stuff, it doesn't really come.
But if I'm just enjoying and focused on the process and, you know, working hard and having fun, then it just, you know, magically appears. But no matter what, if I'm able to be in that grateful state, I'm at least going to be happy and having a good time and have a positive affect, you know, on the people around me. So little food for thought tonight. Hope you're having a good one. Talk to you later. Buh bye.
