There’s so much to be thankful for. I like this video, because it reminds me of those many things there are to be thankful for.
I find that on those days when things don’t work out, or I’m not feeling well, or I’m surrounded by grumpy, pushy people, it really helps to think about those things in my life to be thankful for.

In this banned TED talk, The Science Delusion, Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D., biologist and author, names ten constants we believe in science as religion. Then, he shows how two of these constants are not really so.
I love this TED talk, because it shows up our culture’s beliefs in the findings of science as if they are constants. Whereas, real science is constantly making discoveries that change previous findings.
This is comforting to me since I’m constantly amazed that the media announces new scientific discoveries as if this latest information is the ultimate proof and solution to a certain problem. The public seems to forget that previous scientific discoveries were hailed as the ultimate proof and solution to the same problem years previously. Every time a new discovery is made, it is treated as if this is the ultimate truth. In reality, it’s merely the latest discovery on the way to a greater understanding of reality.

Here’s a wonderful video about the source of happiness. Watch it!
You’ll love it. The video gives you the gift of the happiness it illustrates!
I especially liked it, because I know some people who are like this. They seem to live on being helpful. In addition, when they’re being helpful, they don’t exude any feeling, as so often happens, that they expect anything in return.
Do you know anyone like this? Have you been helped by someone who seems to be delighted to give you something you need?
I loved this video, because it showed me why they do these acts of good will–what they really get out of it. Amazingly, by watching the video, I also experienced the joy that goes with giving–a really wonderful experience.

When I asked my question a couple of days ago, “If thoughts are things, and 10% worldwide thought the world would end on December 21, 2012, why didn’t the world end?” I feel happy, because I received the following two replies on my CarolChapman8 Facebook Page:

We have so much to be thankful for. This morning I woke up to see an intensely blue-red sunrise under a bank of clouds. The weather prediction forecast rain. However, as the day progressed, the sun blazed down on the carpet of leaves surrounding our house. It only rained about a half hour just before sunset. The rest of the day was gorgeous. That’s something to be thankful for.

Last night I had a great discussion with a friend who has read the manuscript of Have Your Heart’s Desire: Tools for a Happier, Healthier, Wealthier Life, one of my books which will be published soon. She said that she appreciated a story in that book because she now understood why we must refrain from holding onto anger. She had heard it before – that we need to release anger – but hadn’t understood why before. I felt happy that she had benefited from reading the manuscript because that had been my intent in writing the book – to share experiences that helped me with others with the hope of giving them inspiration to better their lives.
