One of the ways we "learn" or adopt new behaviours is by modeling, by empathising with other people's feelings.  Today, you'll enjoy an excerpt about a gratitude moment from my interview with Yenny Stromgren, a Swedish mother that at the time of the story has just moved to Australia.  You can listen to the whole episode by search for: "Yenny gratitude podcast" or go to episode 17.  Here's a link as well: https://www.georgianbenta.com/2016/12/08/017-yenny-stromgren-appreciate-life-start-first/ Enjoy! :)     Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support

At 19, Jeremy tore three major ligaments in his knee and had what was supposed to be an easy surgery. Turned out not to be so easy and after being out for three days, he received last rites from a priest. This should have been a life-changing event for him, but it wasn’t. He went on to receive his masters degree in ancient history from Seton Hall University, studied literature at Oxford University and graduated into one of the worst job markets in history. Jeremy Ryan Slate started the Create Your Own Life Podcast In late 2015.  He was struggling as an entrepreneur then but due to hard work and determination his life very quickly took off.

Taking an action step of gratitude, what a wonderful concept from Swami Sadashiva Tirtha.  You might have not thought of the solutions and they're really easy to apply.  What's most powerful is the shift in perspective, it can make for a much better life experience. :)  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support

Soon I'll be exploring gratitude as a truth that is present in most of the religious/spiritual beliefs.  I'm passionate about finding the truth, when so many spiritual beliefs seem to give opposite advice, I'm always on the lookout of what's common in them. For me, gratitude is one of those commonalities and I think it's a worthy endeavour to see the perspectives that different spiritual beliefs have on gratitude.    Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support

Swami is the #1 bestselling author of The Ayurveda Encyclopedia: Natural Secrets to Healing, Prevention, & Longevity.  When Swami was very young both of his parents were tragically killed in a car accident. He transcended this adversity in profound ways through discovering the light within.  Swami has been teaching meditation for over four decades and has several wonderfully enlightened books to his credit.  He presented to the White House alternative medicine commission and has spoken to international medical schools including Johns Hopkins.  In 1990 Swami was recognized as a monk by his guru in the Himalayas, and was recognized as a natural-born shaman by shamans in the Amazon Rainforest.  He was also born with intuitive/mediumship gifts, and certified through the Lisa Williams school. Swami’s life mission is to help others realize their dreams and live the joy-filled life they deserve, to create peace in our world.  To get the word out his first screenplay is being made into a Hollywood movie — a comedy about listening to your heart and trusting to be yourself around others.

Such a great reminder for us all of what actually matters. They definitely put things into perspective and help us make decisions that lead to fulfillment. Some are really surprising, but we can totally identify we them when we hear them.  I also share my perspective on them and what I believe we can do to make sure we won't be experiencing them before our passing.  Here's the link to the book:  https://www.amazon.com/Top-Five-Regrets-Dying-Transformed/dp/140194065X For a rating and/or a review of The Gratitude Podcast, click here: http://georgianbenta.com/iTunes Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support

This is one of my favorite writings, I've translated it from Romanian, but the source is in the Hindu tradition (don't remember the exact source). It's deep, it's inspiring and every time I read it, it gives me a higher perspective on life. I hope you will resonate with it as much as I did.  I've only recorded the writing itself so it's more pleasant for you to listen and re-listen to it as much as you feel like it. :)  Please share it with the people you feel will enjoy it, it might brighten their day!  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support
