Gratitude Through Clarity

Socrates, the father of Greek philosophy, once said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." That quote, in a nutshell, is what this episode is all about. True evidence of a progressively transformed life is, therefore, deep self-introspection. The willingness to look at ourselves authentically in all its rawness (without the proverbial tinted lenses) brings clarity. Clarity develops gratitude. Gratitude itself is pointless if it does not imbue in you the willingness to want to use the transformation you are experiencing for the betterment of people other than yourself. The point here is that a journey of self-knowing gives you clarity; clarity births gratitude, and gratitude becomes the vehicle for acts of selfless service to humanity. Looking at it from such a lens, becoming the best version of yourself is not just a catchphrase you throw here and there but a movement that will ultimately make the world around you a better place and the lives of its inhabitants happier and worth living. Ito Driscoll has encapsulated this nicely in her with #fromfearfultofiercepodcast and why my podcast resonates so deeply with her. Thank you, Ito, for sharing your thoughts with my #viewers. Have you heard me say that becoming the best version of oneself is a process, not a destination? Well, a big part of your journey will be recognising that in order to become fully, you must be willing to give. Have a #FIERCE week.
