What would you say if I told you

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

that you have

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

everything you need right now to be happy?

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

Would you laugh at me?

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

Would you scoff at me?

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

Would you feel a bit insulted?

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

Would you say, sister Naima, you have no

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

idea about my life. You do not know

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

my trials, my difficulties, my challenges. You don't

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

know how hard it

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

is to be me, to be doing what

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

I do.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

You've just got no clue.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

And that may be

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

true, but it is also of no importance

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

because

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

I know for a fact

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

that every one of us

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

is blessed beyond measure.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

The very fact that you are watching this,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

that you are listening to this, that you

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

have access to this shows me that you

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

already have

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

a ton of blessings that you may not

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

be counting.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

So, I'm going to invite you

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

to embrace

00:01:06 --> 00:01:06

radical

00:01:07 --> 00:01:07

gratitude.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

Embracing radical gratitude

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

means choosing gratitude

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

as your emotional home,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

choosing to see the cup as half full

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

at all times,

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

Choosing to believe in Allah's mercy

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

and his generosity

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

all the time in every situation

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

and every circumstance.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

Because

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

when you choose gratitude as your emotional home

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

and everything that you see is seen, everything

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

you see, everything you read, everything you do,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

everything you experience

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

is experienced

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

through the lens of gratitude.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

You will soon come to realize how blessed

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

you really are.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

And

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

that

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

approach,

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

that radical gratitude

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

approach is what can

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

transform

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

the way you see yourself,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

the way you see your life

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

without anything else

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

in your

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

situation

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

changing.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

Because the only thing that needs to change

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

in your situation, in your life for you

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

to be happy

00:02:18 --> 00:02:18

is you.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

It's you.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

It's your perspective.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23

It's your thoughts.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

It's the emotions that come from those thoughts,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

and it's the action that you take.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

So embrace radical gratitude

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

so that you can truly show up as

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

the hero

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

of your life story.
