Episode 100 - Magic of Gratitude

Now what I noticed in creating the Ultimate Life, which is remembered, a life of purpose, prosperity, and joy, built by serving others with your divine gifts, I noticed that gratitude and humility are giant pieces of that.  - Kellan Fluckiger

What you are about to learn

It is so powerful when in the other direction that can lift you, bless you, and drag you up from any negative place to a super positive place faster than anything else is the feeling of gratitude. Feeling of gratitude isn't just saying, Okay, I'm grateful my foot works, and I'm alive, and I have enough to eat, or I'm not dead or something like that. Those are trivial. The feeling of gratitude, it's like when something happens and that feeling in us that is so powerfully functioning as an antidote to all this negative stuff.

Let me divide the topic into three parts. The ego, entitlement, and humility. How this affects gratitude and which is the main component. 

Ego -  is one of the most significant barriers to feeling grateful for expressing gratitude. There's a couple of reasons for this. When we're “in our ego,” this is the part that we're focused on or centered on the idea that we are essential. It may move it into the “look at what I built, look at what I created” space. It is all about bragging what you did, or what have you accomplished or done, which makes you think that you are the center of the universe - you’re always right and you can’t be wrong. So ego gets in the way. That’s the first part of understanding that ego is the antithesis of gratitude.

Entitlement - Gratitude doesn’t come from a sense of entitlement. Anytime there is a sense of everybody owes me something, gratitude flees, it's gone. It’s not in that neurochemical cocktail, that entitlement is very much tied to the ego because it's me. I deserve it. That thinking about any place in your life, where you have a sense of entitlement, that somebody owes you something is very damaging to creating your ultimate life. Yes, people might owe you something but, thinking that serving them is part of your divine gift rather than the feeling of entitlement blesses you more. 

Humility. One key piece of having, experiencing, and getting the benefits. The deeply spiritual and emotional benefits of gratitude are to cultivate the characteristic of humility. Humility is the opposite of entitlement. It is the opposite of ego. It is the opposite of all those things. They're grateful for the opportunity to serve. Deeply thankful for the opportunity to serve and bless the lives of others and be of real value. 

My closing remarks 

The more I live in gratitude and humility, the more I live in the space of the ultimate life being thrilled about every day. If I move at all toward the other end, ego entitlements are the words at that end of the spectrum, then that feeling of contentment and the ultimateness,  if that's a word of life, vanishes very quickly. So gratitude and its companion humility Our keys for you moving toward your ultimate life.

Key Takeaways

And so my thoughts for you about this, banish the ego. The ego is the antithesis of the ultimate life. The sense of entitlement where something is owed to me is the antithesis, the opposite of the poison toward the Ultimate Life.  - Kellan Fluckiger

Humility is the seed or the soil in which the seed of gratitude will blossom. Humility is powerful. It wears well when you see a person who's genuinely humble, and however great they are. They're not about proving it; they're just in service. That's a beautiful thing and someone who behaves, acts, and wears that thing, not as false humility, or trying to prove something or anything else, but just as a sense of recognizing their right place in the world. - Kellan Fluckiger
