1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: Dear beautiful listener, Hi, Happy Thanksgiving. One of my favorite, 2 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: if not my favorite holiday. If you know me, if 3 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: you know Cheeky's originay, you know that Thanksgiving is my 4 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: absolute favorite for so many different reasons, but obviously for 5 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: the biggest because it's a day to come together and 6 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: be grateful and intentionally grateful for what we do have. 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: In a world, in a society where we are constantly 8 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: chasing and wanting more and buying more, we tend to 9 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: forget what's right in front of us. And that's what 10 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: this day is all about. And in my opinion, it 11 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: should be like this every single day, you know, being 12 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: grateful for running water, for the roof over our head, 13 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: for the clothes on our back, for the food on 14 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: our fridge, even if it's not caviare or filet millon, Like, 15 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: we have some potatoes and some eggs and some beans, 16 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: and that is going to do exactly what that piece 17 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: of steak will do. It's gonna fill us up and 18 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: it's going to satisfy our hunger. And I talk about 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: this a lot on Cheese and Chill, about having an 20 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: attitude of gratitude, because that is something that I truly 21 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: believe in is being grateful. And the more grateful you 22 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: are but genuinely grateful, the more blessings Heaven sends you. 23 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: And although I don't really love the history we were 24 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: taught behind Thanksgiving and I'm not going to get into that, 25 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: I like what it represents. And I just wanted to 26 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: remind you to be grateful, even if it's not Thanksgiving. 27 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: Be grateful for the breath that you're taking right now. 28 00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: Be grateful for the fact that you can hear my voice. 29 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: We have five senses, guys, and we take that for granted. 30 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: We can hear, we can see, we can taste, we 31 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: can smell, we can touch. All of those things are 32 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: so beautiful to be able to experience. Now, if you 33 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: put your hands over your eyes and you're in darkness, like, 34 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: imagine what that's like. And there are people that live 35 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: their life like that every single day, either they were 36 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: born that way or something happened that caused that. And 37 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: so those little things that are big things that we 38 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: tend to overlook on a daily basis are the things 39 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: that are very important are actually the most important. And 40 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: I just wanted to be that sound board and to 41 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: just remind you and to really be present today with 42 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: your family and put your phone away and be there 43 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: with your family in the present, in the moment, embracing 44 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: that time that you have because you'll never get it back, 45 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: like that moment, this moment will never be again. Like 46 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: if you really think about it, it's crazy, this exact 47 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: moment I will never have again. That's why it is 48 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: so special. That's why the present is a gift because 49 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: it will never be duplicated. So that's why it's so important. 50 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: And this is something I remind myself on a daily 51 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: basis because I have been caught in the rat race 52 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: of life and being so fixated on what I want 53 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: to accomplish. And I love accomplishing things and I love 54 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: feeling accomplished, but you get so fixated that you forget 55 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: to look around and appreciate the trees and the beautiful 56 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: sky and all these things that are free that we 57 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: just forget about because we're so busy. So this is 58 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: your reminder to be present and to enjoy and soak 59 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: in this moment and the moment you'll have with your 60 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: loved ones. And even if that's you by yourself sitting 61 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: on a couch watching a movie because you didn't feel 62 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: like going in your family's house, or because you don't 63 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: have a lot going on, or because you wanted to 64 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: be alone, whatever the case may be, enjoy it and 65 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 1: enjoy it fully. And if you are sad today because 66 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: you're missing a loved one that has parted and has 67 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: graduated to heaven, or you're going through a divorce, or 68 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: you just had a loss, or whatever the case may be, 69 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: find something to be grateful for, because there has to 70 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: be at least three things that you're grateful for right 71 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: now in this moment. That's all. I truly love you, 72 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: and I am so grateful for you. I thank God 73 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: for you, for you taking the time to listen to me, 74 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: to listen to my music, to support the things that 75 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: I do with my companies.
