I want to kick off this podcast with a thought that's been on my mind. 

It's all about the creator—that force or energy in your life that's always there, quietly doing the heavy emotional lifting for you. You know, the stuff that we sometimes don't even realize is happening behind the scenes. This creator, whether you see it as the universe, a higher power, or just the remarkable resilience of the human spirit, is working tirelessly so that you can travel light on your journey through life.

In my view, life's goal is not just about reaching a destination; it's all about the journey itself. It's about finding something to be grateful for every step of the way, rather than constantly focusing on what's going wrong.

Think about it. When was the last time you stopped to appreciate the simple things in life? Maybe it's a beautiful sunrise, a kind word from a friend, or even just having a roof over your head. Gratitude, a beautiful soul, is the magic ingredient that can transform the way you see the world.

******I'll share a personal story with you.******

A while back, I was going through a tough time, and it felt like the world was crashing down on me. But as I reflected on my life, I realized that even in the darkest moments, there were things to be grateful for. Those moments of gratitude became the beacons of hope that guided me through the storm.

So, my invitation to you is simple: 

Take a moment each day to pause and reflect on the things you're grateful for. It could be as small as the laughter of a child, a warm cup of coffee on a cold morning, or a loving text from someone you care about. When you start to do this, you'll discover that the journey becomes lighter, more enjoyable, and filled with moments to cherish.

Life can be tough; there's no denying that. But remember, the creator is always there, helping you carry the emotional load.

Let's embark on this journey together, focusing on gratitude and celebrating the beauty that surrounds us. After all, that's what makes life truly special. Thanks for tuning in, and let's make this journey an amazing one together!"
