“Most of our everyday life we take for granted. When I climbed very high up in an ancient redwood tree, I didn’t have running water; I didn’t have a refrigerator; I didn’t have all these things that we take for granted. And I realized how most of the day we go through and have zero gratitude for the huge blessings that are in our life. There are many people all over the world who have nothing. But for those of us who live in an industrialized society with the huge amount of privilege, we have zero gratitude for how much we truly have. And that gratitude for how much we truly have can give us the energy and the power to make the change we need to make. Because, from a space of gratitude, we don’t feel lack. So, oftentimes, we think, well, I don’t know if I should make that choice because I don’t know if I have enough time, or enough money, or enough information. And that not-enough conversation is in part because of how much we take for granted. And when we live in a space of gratitude, we realize we have much more time and energy and information and power than we would otherwise have when we’re not noticing.”
