What are three things you are grateful for? 😊 And don't forget to join my Free Newsletter - Short biweekly emails on simple living, creativity and self-development: www.kalleflodin.com/newsletter
Before going to sleep, I do an exercise to make sure I anchor in my memory the day that just passed, even if it was "an ordinary one". Time goes by so quickly, we can't afford appreciating only the great big things. So, at the end of the day, I say to myself : this day has count because / I am grateful because ... a friend emailed me, I found my favorite apple variety at the grocery store, I live within walking distance to work, etc. The fact that you realized what is going on is a clue you are on the right path to feel happy again. All the best, Kalle :-)
My top 3 things that I am grateful for is my wonderful girlfriend who supports me in every little way she can, my close friends back home and my family that continues to be there for advice if I ever need it.
Might I add... I have loved watching your videos ever since you had around 15-25k subs and have been able to watch your channel grow and grow. You have done such a great job and I wish I could do the same as you, living in a cabin in the woods, getting long winters and living a cozy life in a tiny cabin.
Sounds Great!
I am from the USA and hopefully my gf and I will be able to get a tiny house on some land and just be able to start focusing on us and our goals and dreams.
My dream is to have some land and be able to teach my kids about self-sustaining ways of life. Raising animals, getting food from them and being able to grow our own food as well. Only downside is that houses and land in the USA is extremely expensive and has been for the past decade or so... but it will change at some point!!!
I guess in a way, your channel has helped push that concept more into our heads... Knowing that there is a peaceful life behind all of it. Being able to escape and just, be yourself. So, in a way, your videos give me something to aspire to. Thank you Kalle :)
Dear Kalie, first of all your cabine is amazing. I would to have a cabine like you have in Skellefteå. Could you give me a heads up, if your hear someone will sell theirs in Skellefteå, for around 30k?
I was in Sweden last year for a company Work. Very nice and swampy country 💪
Wow, Kalle
I am really amazed by this video.
I am South African and we have a different life altogether...
Being from an older generation I'm amazed at the struggles you have in your generation. Being happy, living the dream life.
Wish you well.
I believed that moving to a different state, getting the house of my dreams near nature, working part time, and getting healthier would all make me happy, and I literally surrounded my ideas, thoughts, my emotions and my entire being into getting this dream, and I refused to live in the now. I become depressed for not getting what I wanted and it actually almost ruined my relationship with my partner. I had an epiphany a few months ago, that no matter what I obtain, no matter where I go, I will always be unhappy unless I'm happy where I am now. There is nothing that I can obtain that would make me happy. If you're not happy where you are, you will not be happy where you go. So, I started to be grateful for EVERYTHING in my life, literally everything. A fresh shower after a long day, the cool breeze coming thorough my window on a crisp fall morning, having electricity, a loving partner, 3 adorable cats. I deal with chronic pain every single day along with a ton of mental health problems and I can honestly say that I LOVE MY LIFE! This is coming from someone who used to be suicidal and depressed as well. Life is not about the grandiose things, its not about vacations, fancy restaurants, huge outings. It's truly, all about the small things in your daily life
Unhappiness comes primarily from a neglected spiritual state of a person where vanity, envy and ingratitude rule. Happiness has nothing to do with things around us but within us. We are "programmed" to think that we have to provide material things in order to be happy but in such a way we lose our soul and we never live in the present moment which is actually the source of life. The past is over and the future is not guaranteed.
Man, I do admire you, Thank you for your comment.
Thanks for your words and thoughts ❤
wherever you go, there you are

Great reminder!
1. I am 1 year cancer free

Congratulations on that amazing achievement!

Oh congrats!!! May the blessings continue!
Congratulations!
im truly happy for you . I know im a stranger to you but your words made me so happy . Blessings !!!
Been married 57 years to my High School sweetheart- live on a beautiful clear river in Florida- have two healthy children and five wonderful grandchildren- have 4 siblings who live out here by me and we are extremely close and get our extended families together(about 60) several times a year. Sounds perfect doesn’t it? There was still unrest in my spirit and I realized I needed God in my daily life and also I needed to serve others and lift others spirits who were lonesome or just needed company on their down days. Our purpose is not just our dreams but helping others on their journey.
I'm just feeling quite lost,I'm 18 years old,and starting college(after college then have to attend university)
And I lately feel like I have an idea of a happy and simple life for myself. But I'm scared to take a step towards my dream, as I'm unsure of what will be the consequences and the sacrifices I have to make. But I don’t know if I should just go for it or should I try and wait to understand the surrounding around me?
@@syedaafrin7015 same (im 15 Not 18) in my country theres alot of good job opportunities after 10th grade (apprenticeships) i think ill just do that and then i'll still have free time to follow my passion even though i hate the idea of having to work for someone else 9Am to 5pm or later 💀💀💀 like how will i have time for anything let alone learn another language because i like learning new languages
@@syedaafrin7015 even if i went to college and got a better job id have no time to do what i like
Thats why i genuinely dont care i dont think passion starts in the workplace or school passion starts with yourself and you knowing what you wanna do or learn
And i advice seeking happiness and meditating because no school no success no nothing can make you truly happy so cut yourself off from these thoughts and youll see how happy you can be without them (ik this sounds kinda weird but It's true) society the way it works makes us forgot self care especially mental self care alot
3 things i'm grateful for:
1)Being healthy
2)Having a loving partner & family
3)Good people like you that remind me that life is precious 🙂
Thank you Kalle 🙏
Tank you Kalle 1. Grateful to have a loving and caring family 2. Grateful for my friends 3 Grateful for my grandmother Who thought me never to give up
At 70, I'm trenendously grateful to be maintaining good health and mobility. I'm grateful to have a functioning car and bicycle. And I'm grateful for an uncomplicated and supportive homelife. Also, grateful to have found you, Kalle. You are such a warm and guileless young man. I wish you increasing self-awareness of how you have built a wonderful life for yourself and enjoyment of every moment.
I'm almost 50 and realising how important gratitude is. I've got it down to where I'm grateful for a bed and warmth.
I live in a small farmhouse in the middle of a large ancient woodland, miles from neighbours in the Highlands of Scotland. To many people it seems the Dream Life, but very few people realise how much hard work this is. People are always searching for Happiness. Kalle, forget the pursuit of happiness, for it is not a constant state. Seeking happiness and believing it will be found in the state of gratitude is often a folly.... Instead, seek Purpose. Gratitude is a very positive emotion, but it is Purpose that makes a life worthwhile. Find Purpose and your whole life will change .
Having Purpose is so much bigger than ourselves. When you create a life of purpose you will never seek the state of happiness again. .
Well said Les X
❤🕊❤️

“The purpose of life is a life with a purpose. So I'd rather die for a cause, than live a life that is worthless.” - Immortal Technique.
I first heard it 12 years ago, still haven't found mine. Everything is fine but I just can't find it.
Well I actually did but isn't it quite silly? you tell me: I love making my parents happy. I took a work hiatus for many months to be with them. Took my father to Sweden and Norway trips to enjoy the nature. Moved back to parents' house when my mother was diagnosed with cancer (cured now).
But one day they'll be gone and my life will be worthless.
See i cannot be just happy with the present, I always think ahead while maybe i shouldn't
You sound like Simon Sinek!
- I am grateful for being able to go for walks in the forests whenever I feel like it🌲
- I am grateful for getting back into reading books 📚
-I am grateful that my mental health is starting to look up after I’ve decided on working on myself again 😊 Feeling all excited for the wintertime to come ❄️
The Alchemist is one of my favourite books and helped me out of a dark time. Highly recommend
the reading habit and walks into the forest is essential.
I am Canadian and I’m just coming from a month of volunteering with an animal shelter in Ukraine. I came to Romania to adopt a dog to bring to my friend in Canada. Because of Lufthansa and their incredibly inept customer service, I now have a flight which he can not come on. The last 24 hours have been soul crushing. I found your video and I’m crying. I’m grateful for so much in my life after this experience. I feel like I’ve failed miserably with my mission to make a difference for this one dog. I don’t have the money to buy another flight to Canada, but I’m not giving up. I needed this video to help me take a deep breath and accept what is happening and not keep breathing myself up. Thank you for this.
Dear Chloe, don't give up. You matter. What you are doing matters. People will donate, people will help, let them know. I am sending you my best wishes. Best to you.
You are so kind to help us Ukrainians! Thank you! ❤ you feel bad about this one dog, but remember how much you have already done helping many other animals in Ukraine! ❤
Thank you both! Well, I took a leap of faith, and I did get her to Canada! But now, I’m focused on returning. Hopefully for longer this time. The world can not forget Ukraine and we MUST keep fighting the propaganda that is being spread. It’s complicated, yes, but no amount of a complicated history excuses this horrific assault on Ukraine, the people, the animals, the environment, the culture.......I will continue to stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦✊🏽
@@chloeblack6084 ❤️❤️❤️
I'm praying and believing for God to make a way where there seems to be no way. They should offer another flight where the dog can go. I love dogs and have two rescues ❤. How incredibly disappointed you must be. Did they not have room. Why wouldn't they let you wait for a flight where he could go too? Oh how sad but your intentions to rescue an animal in need is so noble. I pray there will be another chance for this dog in Yeshua's Name Amen ❤ God bless you
1) My wife's healthy pregnancy. Our 5th attempt! We're due in March/April!
2) My family's good health
3) Our apartment that faces a wooded area.
4) Positive videos on TH-cam, thanks Kalle!
5) Seeing good, and like minded individuals are out there!
I wish your family all the best for the pregnancy and birth ❤
@@majussel Thank you!
Thinking of you and your family and wishing you Love and Light❤~Elizabeth
@@Just2gofoods Thank you 🙏🏻
My husband and I moved 13 years ago and simplified our life. I am so grateful we did that! I am grateful for the simple rhythms that life has created. I am also grateful that my husband and I still enjoy being together and living life together after 33 years.
Yes! Those were mine, too. We simplified our life from a big city to living outside a very small town and every day we are grateful for what that change has brought us. We sit on our couch together in the morning and have coffee and call it our commute. Not at 33 years yet but I am hoping someday we will be saying how happy we are after 33 years. You are my goal, Lynn!
That is lovely to hear Lynn!

That’s wonderful! So happy for you 😊💕
@@JC-du6sn I read Within Heaven’s Gates. Good book! 📖
That's what I really needed right now, thank you! I've been so unhappy with my current situation, seeing people like you who live a life I want to live and myself being stuck in my current job... So what am I grateful for: 1. Not having to worry about money and having a secure job in the hard times right now. 2. Being relatively healthy and being able to do a lot of physical activities/sports. 3. I'm grateful that I already live quiet remotely (at least for German standards) at the end of a small road in a scenic village.... So I guess I should be happy. Thanks again, Kalle! And now Imma head outside and enjoy the cold and sunny weather.
Hope you feel better Nick that’s very honest, I’m a happy person so I always like to help people who struggle. Just think small, more exercise is a good starting point.
Guten tag Nick! Wie gehts? My advice to you is to get a Bible and read about God and His Son Jesus❤ He loves you very much. He died for our sins to be forgiven . His life is not in vain. Jesus said, " I am The way, the Truth and the Life. " You will know the Truth and the Truth shall set you FREE" . He will provide you with Peace. Shalom. I pray you seek His Truth and find it. God is faithful and King of the Universe and Jesus is coming back soon to end all despair, depression, sadness, sorrow. Pain and even death. This life is not all there is. There is Eternal Life with Him after we pass through this short one. Sometimes life seems disappointing and unfulfilling. Learn of God. He is good. His love endures forever. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved ❤ Unser burg ist mein Gott. God is my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Amen
1. My family - children and partner.
2. My pets. I am grateful for the memories of my beautiful dog who we lost last year and I now have 3 Guinea pigs who bring me joy each day.
3. My decluttering and minimalism journey started two weeks ago. I am grateful for seeing space and
calm appearing in my home.
1. Cancer free for 6 years
2. A loving, happy and supporting family
3. Two whippet boys who make my days
Gratitude is such a positive attitude but it is not necessarily innate, but it can be learned ! We appreciate the highlights of life after having experienced lows.
If you want true hapiness. You need to turn to Allah. Allah says in the Quran about happiness:
Quran (13:28):
"Such are the ones who believe (in the message of the Prophet) and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in Allah's remembrance do hearts find rest"
Remember, this life is a test:
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” [Quran, 51: 56]

I am so blessed. I'm in my 40's and I recently lost the ability to walk, so this video was perfect for me at this time in my life. I'm so grateful for my five kids, my loving and incredibly supportive husband, I'm grateful for my imagination and creativity and my true friends. I feel like these are the things that make life full.

Try the carnivore diet and hot therapy (swimming etc) it restored my full functionality
Wonderful Marie ❤
I was 48 when I lost my leg. I'm in a wheelchair. I am truly thankful for this chair because it was the catalyst for my beginning my inner journey. Ironic that i didn't get free inside until i lost the ability to walk. But it is what it is.
Holiday greetings to you. May you find peace and beauty this season.
Fully agree. Gratitude is the key. My life isn't perfect either but taking 10 mins a day to meditate based on gratitude makes me see how many things are amazing and how motivating the challenges ahead are. Regardless of results.
I'm grateful for being able to earn my living working for myself and chosing where and how long I work each day. For being able to take my son to his daycare every morning. And for being married to a true life partner with whom we built the life we want, step by step.
Best to you Kalle!! And to everyone!
Gratitude is the best attitude
I think being grateful, appreciation of others, and savoring the moment really helps alleviate depression. Not just focused on the outcome but also enjoying the journey... because most of life is the journey.
I'm only 16, but can't tell you enough how much your message resonates with me.
1. Friends and family
2. Electricity, water, food... (goes on and on)
3. People like you who remind us to be all heather, more positive beings

What a mature person. That you are grateful for water,electricity, etc... says a lot about your maturity. A lot of people overlook these basic needs being met, while half the works still doesn't have them.
I can honestly say I voice to my husband weekly hiw grateful I am for clean water.
congratulations to you that you at such a young age is listening to yourself - because that is what it is all about - be true to yourself - wish you a great life!
@@unknown2k229 a test for what
Christ Jesus 🙌 He's where true joy is found.
In 2017 at the age of 56 I moved from Leeds UK to Budd Lake New Jersey USA. My wife and I bought a small cottage that is our dream home and now after 5 years in this beautiful place we have to once in a while say to each other " Stop and smell the roses" Life can sometimes race away with the little time we have on this earth. Everyday Kalle just give yourself and each other that time to smell the roses 😉
That is wonderful advise. Greetings from North Germany..🌹
I know Budd Lake, it’s a beautiful area of NJ. 😊
I just stumbeled on this video...out of nowhere...and i have no words...cause i needed this so much without even knowing. And I am so grateful that this happened. Thank you for this Kalle.
Same! I needed this and for the first time I was like damn you crazy algorithms of TH-cam;)
I just found your channel today and I am so grateful for this video. When I think back of my dreams 5 years ago I can now see that almost all came true. I also realize that I often miss what I had then because I seldom took the time to be grateful and live in that moment.
Three things I am grateful for:
1) I have adopted two amazing senior dogs this year. And this video reminded me to spend even more time enjoying their company.
2) I go to sleep with no worries on my mind. I used to be in debt for my entire adult life, but was able to pay them off. It makes such a difference to not do calculations to see if I can pay for food before sleeping.
3) I live in a city I always wanted to move to in a home with a roof terrace and a bath. And even though I already want to move somewhere else, I am grateful that I experience living here now.
I feel less lost because of this video. Thank you so much.
I love your words "I feel less lost" - yes that is just how I felt listening today ❤️
Love this! I'm grateful for:
1. Moving to Scotland for a better work life balance
2. Finding the strength to launch myself into my dream career as an Artist
3. Discovering a new sport that I love: climbing
4. Having a healthy body and being so happy that my autoimmune diseases are in remission
Fellow artist here! You got this!!! Im so happy you decided to pursue art, its so fun! Best wishes for you!
I moved from The Netherlands to the south of Sweden and lived there for more than 30 years. 1.5 years ago I bought a bed carrier moped and drove to the north of Sweden. (Jokkmokk just above the Artic Circle) I never had the courage to go to art school but I worked in art-related professions for a big part of my life and am creating just for the sake of creating never sold anything and never will sell anything, I feel honored if people like my creations and take them as a gift. I can still walk and go out in nature every day, I have severe COPD but get strength from AD/HD. My life has been a wild ride on a roller coaster and yeah I made big mistakes (drugs, booze and criminality) ,but everything brought me to where I am in life right now and I'm genuinely happy with what I have. A small cabin that's mine and 3 kids that are doing way better than I ever have. A couple of years ago I went with one of my sons to look at his sport, I discovered that my COPD was a huge problem otherwise I would have been really good at climbing, it's a fantastic sport. Wish you all the best.
I need some real help with autoimmune disease cure, for asthma
That’s a trap I often fall into, thinking I need this or that in order to finally be happy. When really I needed to be focusing on the present moment and finding joy in the journey, in the place I’m in right now. I’ve been practicing gratitude each day and reminding myself to enjoy my daily actions and it has definitely helped 🤍🌿
Thank you for sharing. This is an important message that is so easy to forget! 😅
It's funny how easy it is to miss such an important thing 🙈
Today, I’m grateful for:
1. Living in a safe place
2. My mechanic bill not being as high as I expected it to be 😅
3. The editing of my Nordic Folklore / Epic Fantasy book being almost complete (finally!!)
Hi Kalle, I'm grateful to have reached almost 51 years of marriage with my husband, grateful for our three sons and grateful to still be here at 71 yrs old. There are many other things I could say but it's my bedtime🥰😁😉🥰🤗🤗
Hi. I’ve just found your channel and this is your first video I’m watching. I’m in my late 40s and going through a major crisis now, both physically and mentally. And you’ve just reminded me of gratefulness. I’ve got a loving partner, three healthy and loving children and a circle of friends. I am really grateful for all of them in my life, for their trust in me. I just wish I could do something more fulfilling in my life, with a passion, and be more optimistic human being who believes in his own creativity and is not quietly ashamed of his life. But maybe the first step is to simply embrace the moment, find something good in every day and think in detail who I would like to be in another five years. Perhaps being grateful for the little things that still happen can help break the circle of extreme negativity in my thinking and bad things happening to me. Thank you.
If it makes you feel any better, many people, myself included, dream of having a partner to love and children to raise. So that is really quite something.
If you have Jesus youll be able to find purpose and meaning....Tour the world...to the slums...to the Philippines☺
Try meditation and introspective work! You'll probably face a lot of difficult emotions bubbling up - but in order to get over them you HAVE to face them and be completely honest with yourself- just like pulling out a thorne that's been aching for so long. I think you'll see that a lot of our experienced misery comes from comparing our lifes to others. Comparison is the thief of all joy. I really recommend reading the book "the tao of pooh". Focus on what's most important, the friends and family around you - the people that truly care about you and that you can share this crazy experience that life is with. Not some career or other material gains that in a hundred years won't mean anything to you or anybody you'll ever know. It seems that you love your family and that they love you - that in itself is a great feat, which many fathers couldn't be able to do - even though they own a tesla and wears an expensive suit. They are the one's that are lost. It's ALL about perspective and finding what YOU value in your life, and that's something you can change and come clear with! If your mind or brain caused a problem, your mind or brain can find the solution! Wish you all the best in finding back to your true self my friend!
And don't forget that while you still are capable of thinking and moving it is never to late to TAKE ACTION towards a life you want to live! Don't let the societial norm tell you otherwise! You can do anything you set your mind to - just make sure that you start by actually doing something, no matter how small, just don't get caught up in your thoughts and dreams. Take action in reaching them one tiny step at a time and things will accumilate towards your goals. Change is a direction, not a destination.
Thank you, Kalle. I needed this reminder today. Three things I'm grateful for right now: 1) I'm warm and cozy at home. (First seasonal weather of the winter, very, very windy cold and snowy outside!) 2) I make more money now than I ever dreamed I'd make in my lifetime. The blessing feels accidental, but I'm trying to remember to just be grateful. 3) I have my lovely daughters with me. Though they are tired and crabby today and prone to bickering, they are home safely with me, when I spent years fighting for their custody. I'm truly blessed.
Sounds like you have a LOT to be grateful for 🥰

The only comment you reply to & heart is by a verified account. Everyone else isn't worthy of you or your time. Clout chaser. No wonder you're unhappy. Smh
Thankful for videos like these where the 'perfect' image is broken and honesty is shared. Thank you for that. It makes us all relate and feel normal. I feel grateful for my gorgeous cat. I LOVE him and that he lives with me. And I feel grateful for myself. That I'm perfect with all my imperfections and ups and downs. This is a practise I am learning and embracing. Thank you for this video and sharing authentically 🙏🏻
Happy that there is more people that appropriate the honest version ❤️
I have the same problem Kalle and the answer I found for myself while listening to a therapist is that I actually feel "I am not enough". So, instead of working on improving my own thoughts I look outside of me for the next project to do that will improve my life and make it somehow better.
As for what I feel grateful for are: my loving family, because I am single and have no special someone now, second I am glad I am relatively healthy and happy at this stage in my 30s and third I am grateful for all the creative projects and wonderful people I've got the chance to meet and keep discovering.
Three things I'm grateful for:
Being who I am; having a full acceptance of myself.
My family and all the pets; the love we share.
Being exactly where I am in life, and nowhere else.
I am grateful for this month:
- setting healthy boundaries
- trying to stop apologizing for others bad behavior
- trusting what I feel to be right is not to be shaken by others opinions
💚💚
I don't know how old you are but congratulations. I carried these same burdens for decades. I wasted SOOO much time.
That's great. Thank you for sharing.
Sasha you are very grounded, congratulations, we must live by a few weeks ahead , a month it's a enough time period for planning our future, by planning beyond than a month can create anxiety that lead to depression, I do live month by month, and I feel so present and real, here and now, also I get my projects done quickly instead of imagine them, so there is no rush in life, we make the rush in our heads.
@@marysisak2359 Thank you for your kind words💚 I am 22 years old so there is still a lot to experience in life! Congratulations to you for embracing there is always more to discover about your self💚
@@sachabravo8819 You will be in my prayers. Always remember not to let people steal your joy!
When my children were very young we began a tradition of saying five things we were thankful for that day as we ate our evening meal. Gratitude is something we learn. I am grateful this day, at 65 years old, that I am married 30 years now, that I can afford to feed the birds and wildlife on my farm, that I can talk on the phone to a grandchild thousands of miles away. Happiness comes from being grateful. Even in hard times, we have to look for things that have gone right in the situation. Taking time every day to write or ponder what we are grateful for becomes a habit and then it begins to come over you all the time. Peace be with you❤
Hello Kalle, I am a new subscriber for your channel. I will be watching you videos over the next few weeks.
1) I am very grateful for my beautiful, supportive wife.
2) I am grateful for financial stability in this interesting time as a recent retiree.
3) I am grateful for my/our retreat in the northern Canadian forest.
.... and there are more for sure.
Thank you for your honest openness. Keep being 🙏 grateful.
I am grateful I can walk pretty well after a serious injury. I used to dance and hope to again but very glad to walk after 18 months. I beat ptsd ( no small thing) and so living peacefully is a treasure. I adore my dog and plants which all respond to my love/voice. I send love and light to all you reading this. May light fill us with presence of mind and joy.💌💯💫
If you want true hapiness. You need to turn to Allah. Allah says in the Quran about happiness:
Quran (13:28):
"Such are the ones who believe (in the message of the Prophet) and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in Allah's remembrance do hearts find rest"
Remember, this life is a test:
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” [Quran, 51: 56]
I just recently injured my leg and love to dance and I have a long road so Ty for your post.
PTSD is huge! I relate. And all your other stuff. So proud of you, hon! ❤❤❤
You’re incredible
Sending lots of love your way ❤
I totally felt this because I do feel unhappy sometimes even though I am right where I wanted to be a few years. Went to college for electronic engineering at age 27 took me 8 years to finished a 4 year degree, now im 35 and this year I finally finished and landed a job with one of the largest microchip designers/manufactures in the world, I have had internships with Tesla and received job offers from Microsoft and like you said im always thinking about the next thing and I have not even stopped to be proud of myself , the fact I have actually checked off some boxes in my life in-spite of how dark my early 20s were looking. No job living in my dads garage, suicidal thoughts because I was basically a bum with no future. While there are still things that have fallen apart in the span of that time like a failed marriage I am still very grateful for the experiences and all the things I have done.
You’re an AMAZING person with a GRATEFUL heart. Try not to be too hard on yourself. Grab an ice cream and eat with a random stranger with a sad face. 😉❤️😊
You are awesome.
Jesus is everything you need🙏
As an engineer in his 30s as well, I hear you. There is something weird about engineering projects and how there is no defined finish line that sucks away the joy of finishing the race. A project never seems to truly end, they just sort of fade away into the background while you focus on something else. I'm in technical sales now, and you'd think there is a big rush when closing a deal but that is rarely the case. I know in the back of my mind that closing a deal is when the real work starts.
Anyways, no one asked but i'm telling. Staying happy is hard, especially in the midst of the grind.
Grateful for my dog that I rescued as he's my only friend, cooler weather as it's a rarity in my region, and for my daughters that have grown into productive contributors to society! Thks for sharing as I've been chasing happiness via work & bank account for the past decade. I only display a smile on paydays and then it's back to the mundane routine of work again.
Thank you for making this video, really needed to hear this!
I’m grateful for my mother, for my partner, and for my good friends
I’m grateful for the nice conversation I had with my mum today, for my boyfriend who’ll always be by my side and for the fall colors around me and my home. ☺️
I'm still enjoying the "fall" colors and I don't even get them anymore. LOL, just woke up in a 'yellow' mood and was drawing/coloring it all down.
I moved to a rural area five years ago, and I also tend to fall into this cycle of goal setting, completing the goal and moving on to the next one without appreciating everything that I’ve accomplished. Unfortunately in that process I also tend to forget that the main goal for which I changed my lifestyle was to give myself time to be creative. It wasn’t until last spring that I started taking my projects out with me in my car for about 1-2 hrs per day, 3 times per week, and find a quiet place overlooking the ocean, or in the forest, and spend that time on anything that brings me complete peace; it might be artwork, or writing, reading or meditating depending on the day. Somewhere along my journey I realized that I had to physically remove myself from the labour of that never ending cycle of work at home, in order to appreciate what I’ve accomplished, and to spend time on activities that bring me peace. If it’s a nice day, I bring a folding table and chair and sit outside, and if the weather is bad, I just get comfortable in my car. I find that if I skip this part of my day for more than about four weeks, I get back into that cycle of stress again. I hope others can learn from my experiences.
What a great message man! Sending love to you 💌
Very wise Kalle. Being unsatisfied with life is natural, I think it helps us keep striving for more and better. It moves us forward! But yes, it’s so important to stop sometimes and look at how lucky we are, it always brings a smile to my face when I do this! Keep it up Kalle. 😊
Even 10 years ago seeing a man talk about his feelings was unheard of. Thank you 🙏 my husband doesn’t look back enough either to appreciate what we have achieved. Ekhardt Tolle videos are really helpful. Spaciousness is what he calls it. Slowing down the speech, allowing space between thoughts helps to bring us back to the present.
On this hot day I'm grateful for the electricity running my air con.
I'm grateful I have clean drinking water at any moment coming through multiple taps in my home.
And I'm grateful I have a loving family while having this human experience ❤️
But sometimes I forget this and this is a good reminder.
I just discovered your channel. I will start my list with that. I'm grateful to have discovered your channel! I appreciate how authentic this video was. Discussing things that a lot of us probably experience but we don't talk about enough.
Right now I'm sick, but a friend is bringing me medicine. I'm grateful to finally live in a place where I can have local friends who take care of each other. We're like family, which is something I always dreamed of but never thought I would have.
And I'm grateful for my cat. He's snuggly and brings me much joy. 🥰
I love that you leave all the little "mistakes" or "mispronounced" words in the video. It makes it feel so relatable. Making videos in a language that is not my own has been my biggest struggle since I started, and this just makes me feel that it's ok to make mistakes. Thank you for that, and for sharing this!
I thought the same as I watched this. As an English speaker who is chipping away at learning German- I’m in AWE of those of you who speak multiple languages. Speaking/knowing only English a shortcoming of US culture, in my opinion. It’s scary to be vulnerable with language- but provides such depth to our connections as humans.
Me too. In fact, I feel that with AI creating so much perfect communication and arts (like music), we will soon reward the reality of imperfections like found in many imperfect singers with real style. You have that. It is rare. Be who you are and if they don’t like it, give them more.
Agree..
.Always impresses me to hear someone who's learned another language

The world is broken and you will never find fulfillment in this world because it's temporary. The Good News is that Jesus Christ is eternal, He died for your sins and by grace through faith in Jesus you can receive a free gift of forgiveness, eternal life and a regenerated heart, peace that surpasses all understanding on this earth. God never promised us to have an easy, problem-free life but He has promised to help us through it all. Most importantly we are sinful and need our sins to be forgiven. Are you willing to simply give up everything you have, to surrender your heart to Jesus, deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Him?
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
- for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.
Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.
This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him
by reading God's Word.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)
''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
I love men speaking about their emotions and search for happiness! Best of luck to you on your journey man. Thanks for sharing your heart. ❤
Thank you for sharing yourself from such a vulnerable place 💙
Great video! This is very eye opening because I feel like I have been telling myself what I’m greatful for in the 2 years since I “woke up” but if you don’t actually step back and think where you came from years ago you forget how great your life is and how much power you have in shaping your life.
1. I am grateful you exist
2. I am grateful for the insights you shared
3. I am grateful for trees
❤️❤️❤️
A similar thing happened to me. I've been depressed for years. The other day it randomly hit me "What would 17 year old me think of where I am now?" and I realized that he would be so amazed at the freedom and the accomplishments. It really helped me turn things around rather quickly.
I'm grateful for all the amazing people like you, sharing their stories. This path we are on seems lonely and so many people are telling us what to do and how to do it. The best part of this video was your mindset and your realism. So many of us struggle with this notion. We forget to be grateful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Kalle! This video brings me to see my own life more clearly. The simple things in life are wonderful.
I am grateful for my loving dog and family, for getting through the day, and for being safe💗 Thank you Kalle!
Grateful for the shed blood of Christ, my few dear friends and my dog, Joey!!! I miss my family that have passed but I will see them again for all ETERNITY❤

Great video and thank you for showing vulnerability.
I am grateful for:
1. Living in a country where I feel safe and happy
2. Listening to the birds in the morning and looking at the big blue sky
3. Stopping and taking the time to smell my neighbors' flowers on my way to work
4. My mistakes, and recognizing these mistakes that help me grow
5. Waking up every day and keep trying, no matter what.
😊😊😊
This is such a powerful message, thank you for sharing! I am grateful for my beautiful little family, for the country I live in, and for the comforts we have in our daily life.
I just love your videos, i hope and wish you the best luck to get thru those obsticles in life. Glad to have someone like you i can listen to on youtube.
The comments on this video are all so beautiful. It makes me realize we're all really living the same human experience. We all go through the same things and yet we always think we're alone in feeling these things. It's really nice to see how open everyone here in the comments section are and how you're all sharing your life stories and struggles along the way.
I was in a major crisis very recently and just turned 31 and feeling like life is slipping away from me. I've had these huge dreams for so long but I never reach them, and in fact two of my biggest dreams in my life crashed and burned in the past month and it just made me so sad and I just lost all hope for the future. I don't think I've ever felt as low and lost in life as I was then, and I'm still very much working through it.
In fact, today has been the first day that I've slowly started re-calibrating myself and trying to find new ways forward and to find meaning in life again. It's very difficult, especially when you feel like you're on this hamster wheel and no matter how hard you work you never get to your destination. That's basically been life for me so far and it's been so frustrating. Every time a dream dies I rebuild and keep on going to the next, but then the pattern repeats itself over and over.
It's all so tiring. But I have to keep going and I have to believe that one day I will get to where I want to be, or that I will at least find peace in the constant journey and constant growth that I'm experiencing and that hopefully by the end it will all have been worth it and I can look back on a life well lived.
You have a good perspective of failing and falling into influence of Grace. Necessary, otherwise we are overconfident, take things in our hands and learn the hard way. For many like me, it's still a 40 years Journey in the wilderness, to let go of pride of achievement and loving this present world. I'm 67 and just learned to be content alone without being codependent in relationship. When we depend on others we don't get past them to meet God as a friend. We only have one first Love.
If you want true hapiness. You need to turn to Allah. Allah says in the Quran about happiness:
Quran (13:28):
"Such are the ones who believe (in the message of the Prophet) and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in Allah's remembrance do hearts find rest"
Remember, this life is a test:
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” [Quran, 51: 56]
I feel you. Remember, just like he said in the video: it's all about the journey. That could mean allowing yourself to feel whatever you are running aeay from. Please, seek a therapist to help you out with this, no easy journey. Also, dreams never die, maybe they are waiting for you to be ready, or maybe they are taling you where you will be even happier.
@@unknown2k229 Does that citation explain anything about happiness itself or am I missing something? Doesn't it just say that if you put your faith in Allah you will achieve rest and so forth happiness?.. I do not want to come of as rude, but does the Quaran tell us WHY that will make us happy?
@@fabiannystrm Thank you for your question. I dont think you are rude, in fact i think this
is a very relevant and good question.
To answer, it requires a bit more explanation.
As i mentioned earlier - this life is a test (see quran chapter 67, verse 2) for us to see
how we will live our lives. In order to "pass this test", God has sendes messengers all
the way from Adam till the last Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
In order to pass this test of life, we need to submit our will to God (Islam means submitting
your will to God), and follow the rules set by God.
We need to follow the straight path, and fulfill our purpose (God created us
to worship him).
Not only that, this is the best way to live our life and will benefit us in this life and the herafter.
By following the straight path - we will find TRUE hapiness as Allah described to us.
It is also important to point out, that we will have to change our lives and give up some things.
In Islam we have 5 pillars of Islam
1) Shadada. You have to testify that there is only one God Allah, and that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the messenger of Allah.
2) It is important to do the 5 daily prayers
3) You have to give zakat (charity)
4) You have to fast during the month of Ramadan
5) You have to attend (if you are able to) Hajj (Pilgrimage).
Now back to your good question:
Does that citation explain anything about happiness itself or am I missing something?
Doesn't it just say that if you put your faith in Allah you will achieve rest and so forth happiness?
In order to achieve happiness we must do certain actions. We must remember Allah and thank him for creating us and for blessing us.
We have to remember Allah, when we pray 5 times a day.
We have to remember Allah when we sin and seek forgiveness from God.
We have to remember Allah by enjoying good and forbidding evil.
We have to remember and worship Allah because this is our purpose and also to find true happiness.
So yes we have to remember Allah, but also BACK IT UP with our actions.
By doing that, in shaa Allah (God willing) you will find happiness.
Great video Kalle! 3 things I am grateful for right now: 1. Even though my husband has a terminal lung disease, I am SO grateful that he is with me today. 2. Grateful for the beautiful, unseasonable weather we are having today- 75 degrees on 11/7 outside of Philadelphia! 3. Grateful for the two owls outside my window at 5am that we’re calling to one another with their beautiful “whoo whoo whoo”. Both my dog and I woke to this and we both were listening with raised heads, what an experience to know that we were sharing that beautiful song, human and dog. Thank you for this opportunity to reflect on what I am grateful for in this very moment. Wishing you peace with your moments everyday🙏🏻❤️

I am sad for you about your husband but you know...we all have a terminal illness. It sounds like you have some sweet things in your life. Love to you.
Lungs is an organ that can heal itself. I wonder if you could find some natural herbal medicine, like hemp or vitamins and immunity boosters like glutathione and vitamins like D and C in large amounts . Certainly walks in the forest with deep breathing exercises and cleansing the lymphatic system would be beneficial. Set your mind and visualize your healthy lungs . That is how I fight my cancer diagnosis and never felt better. Herbs, sunshine and vitamins . Don’t listen to doctors , they don’t have a clue how to heal anybody. I walked away from surgery and chemo and listened to my intuition. It was the best decision of my life in 2019. ❤️
@@sarkam1464 I think it's really important to listen to your heart and get all the knowledge you can. Just doing the things you mentioned are healthier than not doing them for us all. We all die and can't let fear over take us. I know people that went through chemo and other treatments that were just miserable and some that were not...and I know many that choose to not do any of that and work with natural methods. I also have many friends that have passed from several different things. It is the quality of life and even death that is important. I hope you stay healthy for many years and enjoy your life whatever is going on. Thank you for sharing.
I am grateful that I'm much more social than I used to, I have a much better relationship with my family and Im getting more confident. Thank u for this video, it's really nice to relate to TH-camrs the way I did with you. Continue to do what you love and I wish you a very happy life !!
This day, I'm grateful for health, having all I need for today and thankful my eyes wandered to this video I needed to listen to, bc I could have written the caption. I'm going to daily write down things I am grateful for until I get around this dark corner! Thank you, Kalle .. Merry Christmas & HAPPY days for us all ~ Each day holds some sort of a gift we find. I have been forgetting to LOOK.✨
Hello, Kalle. 1) I'm grateful for your channel. It's a pleasure to hear your experiences. 2) I'm thankful for my eyesight as I am enjoying the full moon that is glancing at me right now. 3) I'm grateful for this present moment of awareness which adds joy to my life. Thank you, Kalle 🌻💕

1. My three young adult children are all healthy and thriving and living their lives on purpose 2. After two years of planning I am finally in Sofia, Bulgaria to start living my dream of moving from the US to Europe. Just walking around the city today on my third full day here was magical. I love the spirit of this place and the people, and I am so grateful I get to stay here. 3. The warm welcome I have gotten from the friends I have already made in Bulgaria, at least one of whom is definitely my soul family.
Thank you for this video! I believe it showed up for a reason. I often focus on what is lacking instead of focusing on what I do have to be grateful for. I have come a long way, creating a beautiful life for myself and doing a job that fills my soul and helps people. I'm grateful for not giving up. I'm grateful for all the kind people in the world and grateful for all the goodness. Thank you for reminding us to be grateful. Thank you to everyone who shared so openly and honestly. We are all in this together 💞🤗
I am grateful for having such loving and supportive parents. I am grateful for the genuine goodwill of people around the world, even though it might be hard to see during difficult times and the blind rage that seems so prevelent on social media these days. And finally, I am SO grateful to see youtubers and people on media daring to be completely transparent and honest about their emotions with their viewers and actually enabling others to see the beauty in humanity and share compassion, understanding and support one another. Thank you for that Kalle! I believe that has a MUCH larger impact and rippling effect than you might think!! Love
Thank you. I'm glad I stopped by and listened to your inspirational insight. It really pulled me in and I feel strongly that you are onto something here. Having forced myself to suffer at a corporate job for 25 years only to have my wife pass away 2 weeks after I called it quits, motivates me to share my own message.
#1 - My health and the health of my 2 teen daughters - if we don't have this we can have little else.
#2 - Being debt free. This allowed me to grieve without the additional stress of having large debts. Material stuff just doesn't matter after tragedy strikes.
#3 - Appreciating the simple things in life and having a variety of interests such as playing guitar, learning a 2nd language, and getting out in nature.
Peace to all...
I find that journalling really helps with this problem every morning the first thing I do is open my journal. I write 10 things that I am grateful for it can be more than 10 but at least 10. To write down what I am thinking about the day ahead. And to write down a message to myself for the end of the day. It doesn’t take up too much time you can do it while you are drinking a coffee. Then at the end of the day to go back to the journal and write down what I’ve enjoyed about the day And take a few moments to reflect on the things that happened. And it’s nice to go back and look at the journals I did previously.
Thank you for your insight.
Suzy 🥰
Agree, journaling is very powerful! I don't write in my journal every day, but as often as I feel that I need it 😊
I journal every day, three morning pages without fail and in the evening a few sentences about how my day was and what I/we were up to. Journalling seems to keep my mind on an even keel and it keeps the stress at bay. I would encourage you to write first thing in the morning, 3 pages, no more no less. See how it works out for you Kalle.
I'm grateful for my family, my kids, and my community. I live such a wonderful life but don't always take the time to celebrate where I am. Thank you so much for the reminder!
Beautiful kalle! Thanks for sharing

Wonderful video Kalle!! If we live with an attitude of gratitude we will have true contentment, focusing on what we have instead of what we do not have. I’m grateful for: 1) Having basic needs met (shelter, food, clothing)
2) Having the love and support of so many friends, family, and pets 😊
3) I’m a very spiritual person so I’m grateful for my faith and the peace it brings to my spirit
And grateful for finding your channel (and Christine’s) ❤
This was pretty much exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thanks.
Needed to hear this today, thank you for your honesty. It made me realise that I should be grateful for the normality of my life at the moment, the quiet and the peace. Instead of looking for the next goal/thrill to make me feel alive. Feeling alive can also be reached by being mindful. 🙏
I am in my senior year of college , first generation-non-traditional student. I am finally on the right medication which corrects my body's reaction to food and starting to drop weight after years of being told it was all in my head.

Next month, I will stop taking medications one by one to see what is actually working.
@@leonfields1876 watch Dr Fung, Dr Berry and Dr Boz
All MDs
Dr Berg and Dr Eckberg are also great healers (they’re chiros)
Find out whats wrong
Btw the cholesterol pill isn’t needed at all
The blood pressure and diabetes pills etc will not be needed quickly if u follow the above health professionals
Correcting the food intake and intermittent fasting are critical
The rest is gravy (exercise, relaxing, supplementing)
I‘m grateful for how the light coming through the window hits the plants and fireplace in our living room. It looks so beautiful and always calms me. I‘m grateful for having such a supportive husband and wonderful child. I‘m grateful for the freedom of choice. I can decide how I want to live my life and this is incredible powerful!
Wonderful!!!
I am grateful that I found your channel and this video. This really hit home for me . Thank you .
I am so grateful to be able to feel deeply... I am grateful that my dreams are coming true... I am grateful for the people who are there for me and want to create a community with me, who in essence already ARE my community... I am grateful to be alive and hear your words Kalle!!!! ❤️
Hi Kalle, All I want to say is that while there is satisfaction in accomplishing goals. Happiness comes from helping others. Doing things for others and knowing that you have helped someone else brings the greatest happiness. So allowing yourself to take time off is important but maybe you can use that time to volunteer to help someone. Hope this helps...
As for me, I'm grateful for my 95 yr old mother who lives with me. She is a true inspiration. I'm grateful for the comfortable life that we live. I'm grateful to live in the desert where sun shines every day. Living a simple life is quite wonderful.
Kalle is helping many people just by exposing himself and his life and thoughts on utube.
Thank you for being so open with how you are feeling. I find it true as well, that I tend to keep thinking about what's next and this is a good reminder and exercise in taking a step back and being grateful/content with what I already have. So, here we go!
- My husband, who is kind to me and loves me.
- My sweet dogs that bring me joy and comfort.
- Jesus, who gives me hope and a reason to keep living.
- My mom's health, that was taken away for several years, is back and I can enjoy her company.
- Food, running water, a warm home, and really, so many things that make life easy and comfortable.
Another thing I love about a practice of gratitude is that it helps open up a channel in my consciousness for positivity and then the possibilities for good just sort of coming flooding right in. Good ideas come in and can be acted upon. The purpose of my life then becomes clearer and happiness bursts forth. Keep up all the good you are thinking and doing Kalle. Best wishes from Maine.
Hi, my first time listening to you - very timely to have the privilege of hearing your story. Thank you for sharing yourself with people.
1. I'm grateful for videos such as this which connects me with people across the world, we are same same yet different. I'm grateful for feeling connected with people on a similar journey of self awareness.
2. I am grateful for my resiliency, even though it has been born from hardship.
3. I am grateful I feel safe and secure in the place where I live and the people around me.
Thank you Kalle for being so honest and speaking to a truth that we all experience from time to time. We get so busy and need to stop and smell the roses.
So here are the three things I'm grateful for today...
1. Spending time with my grandchildren and laughing over silly jokes we make up.
2. My dear husband who is the love of my life and enjoy his companionship.
3. And my health, not just mine but my entire families.
As a footnote...start the day with meditation and pray and breath deeply...blessings!
Breathe 😉
Im just turning 21, but it is exactly like you said.I have goals or dreams and as soon as they are getting reality or i accomplished them its nothing special anymore. It really feel´s like chasing a shadow over and over.
Im really grateful for your words and thoughts. I dont want my life to passes by and all i do is jumping from one goal to another without any fulfilment. I´m grateful for my Girl, my home and this Moment.
If you want true hapiness. You need to turn to Allah. Allah says in the Quran about happiness:
Quran (13:28):
"Such are the ones who believe (in the message of the Prophet) and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in Allah's remembrance do hearts find rest"
Remember, this life is a test:
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” [Quran, 51: 56]
Thank You for your Honesty 🌱
Hello Kalle! This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I’m very grateful for it, excited to join the fan base. I moved to an off-grid cabin in the woods 4 years ago and had a big mental health crisis, ultimately to my benefit as it uncovered that I’m actually a very autistic person that masked and passed for decades. It’s a huge relief to finally be exploring who I really am and what I’m interested in after a life of suppression, so my three things I’m grateful for: (1) therapeutic resources (especially yoga, SE, IFS, and Feldenkrais), (2) folks like you, honestly, youtube has been a lifeline especially being off grid during 2020, (3) my autistic friends who prompted me to consider that “being normal” wasn’t something to aspire towards. Thanks again, take care
what do you mean i'm an autistic person? as in you some traits of an autist? cause either you are an autist or you aren't
Thank you Kalle, this realisation is a game changer. I used to pack my life with wonderful experiences myself outdooring, traveling, cabintirps etc, but then I realized that I went through life as a check list and was really never present and thankful. I am greatful that I have seen this and are now in the prosess of change, I am greatful for my 1month daughter beeing my teacher in how to live in the moment and I am greatful for warmharted, honest and creative youtubers like you and beeing part of this community. Love to you all from Norway.
If you want true hapiness. You need to turn to Allah. Allah says in the Quran about happiness:

I am greatful for this invitation and reminder to take the time to enjoy what is already here.
I love my wonderful cabin in the woods and the opportunity to take a dip in the lake whenever I want.
I am so happy to have my lovely furry companions, my dog Bob and my cats Simao and Malua to share everyday life with.
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Being grateful is the key.❤❤❤ Thanks
I'm grateful for patience, for kindness, and for humor. And thank you for this video!
Thank you reminding us of this important point. Happiness is not a destination…it’s a journey. I always thought one day I’d be happy if this or that happened but it doesn’t work that way. Today I’m grateful for being able to heat my home in this time of huge heating costs, for being able to afford the food I need when so many are struggling to feed their families, and for receiving good news at the doctor. So really it was a good day.
This is so me. I've had my dreams 3 times and never appreciate it! Thanks!
1. my teenage kitten Felix, who just turned up small skinny and crying hungry in my hedge in September. (PS cats are good at telling you to take a break)
2. Remote work. Means I can live at my old farmhouse
3. my very good health. I never get sick - only injured!
And 4. All the people who make videos and books that I learn from (esp. how to grow veg!)
Thank you. This is so insightful. I love that you looked back at what you would have wanted back in 2017. I'm grateful for my body and everything it does, I'm grateful for my parents, and I am grateful for my home.
Such an important message everyone should hear & think about! Im grateful about many things & should remind myself more often
I am grateful for
1. My family
2. My safe and cosy home
3. Nature
Thank you for a great video Kalle! I am currently going through depression and having a hard time finding a job, but gratitude is a powerful perspective changer. Love from Norway!
Hi Marie how are you doing today
Hi Mary ! Hiking few days in the mountains (every month), sweating while carrying backpack and sleeping in mountain cabins, meeting other hikers + cold showers, no more sugar, only water and vegetable juice helped me getting out of depression
Without Jesus Christ, there's no way to really feel fulfilled. Even someone who seems very happy on the outside will have deep emptiness when alone and have to go from one thing to another to keep happy. Coming from a background devoid of anything religious, I would have never believed this. See, when we're in sin and don't repent and have a relationship with the Almighty God, we just chase for happiness. We go every which way looking for a way to feel fulfilled and content, yet it is elusive. Because it was always meant to be fulfilled by being close to our Creator. Jesus Christ isn't a man that started a religion, but the Alpha and Omega. His spirit is the one that made all that beautiful nature. The spirit inside the man we know as Jesus Christ is the spirit of God. Many get turned off by what they see in modern religion and I don't blame you, I do as well. But Jesus is so different. The spirit world is real and when in sin, it gives demons legal right in your life. It causes openings and doorways, they work through doorways and sin, entertainment, and many means. Even certain items.
Heaven and hell are real places in the spirit world, not religious concepts thought up by man. Please, repent of your sins, confess your sins, develop and prayer life, be baptized in water (doesn't have to be in a church, just by a real Christian)..You will feel weights melt off of you, it was so cathartic and amazing the first time I did, I was shocked. OF course, there are challenges in this world no matter what, and we'll have ups and downs. However, they no longer matter or affect you the same if you have a close relationship and good prayer life with fasting sometimes. This life is but a short test for the soul. There can be some other causes of feeling down or depressed which can be of course chemical and about different aspects of health, but the roots are spiritual. God bless
Thanks for sharing this with us Kalle.
I am gratefull for
1) still having my wife in my life as she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this summer
2) being able to see the clear white moon and feel the cold air running up my nose when I was standing in the open window earlier tonight. Winter is coming! Yaaay!
3) working less and being able to rearrange my priorities in life
Sorry for your wife I will pray for her soul
God bless you and your family.
Has your wife tried ozone therapy? Nikola Tesla patented the first ozone generator because he recognized the healing power of O3. Then Rockefeller allopathic monetized medicine came along and suppressed it because they couldn't make patent profits from it.
The Miracle of Ozone Therapy
"Ozone is probably one of the most miraculous healing therapies available on our planet at this time. Through its oxygenating power, it successfully treats and cures a wide range of serious degenerative conditions including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, liver, and kidney disease.
More Than Hot Air
Ozone is very potent electrified or energized oxygen (O3). Oxygen is more essential to life than food and water. Without it, we would die in minutes but in big cities the levels in the air are decreasing, causing widespread ill health. Oxygen is carried to every part of the body by the red blood cells and is essential for the functioning of every cell in the body, as well as stimulating a healthy immune system.
Ozone also forms a protective layer around the earth; but some scientists point to the danger of high ozone readings as the cause of respiratory problems, so many are prejudiced, dismissive, and simply refuse to look into it.
Yet ozone therapy has been in use since the 1800s; and in 1896 the genius Nikola Tesla patented the first ozone generator in the United States, later forming the Tesla Ozone Company. After that, the Institute for Oxygen Therapy-Healing was formed in Berlin and the man credited with founding naturopathy, Dr. Benedict Lust, began practicing in New York, writing many articles on ozone."
Gratitude is the highest contributing factor to happiness! I am grateful for all the youtube videos that inspire me, I am grateful for my wonderful spirited kiddo, and I am grateful to be a part of this crazy experiment we call life :)
At 55 I have achieved a lot of goals and this year I became stuck & hit that wall! I'm so grateful for my son, partner, my mum despite the fact she has parkinsons disease she continues to support us any way she can, and especially our health. Thank you for this vid Kalle, I'm going to write a list of all the little things I love and try to make sure I do at least some of them every week. I tend to just go from one thing to the other without taking a break & not living in the moment. We all change and grow as we get older & its definately time for me to move on to the next stage of life .Weve had loss & many changes this year, so I feel those were signs that life is changing. We must remember to always be faithful & true to ourselves & not get lost in the big stuff.
This was a much needed introspection for you and for us.
After being diagnosed in early 2018 with a very rare form of Melanoma when I thought I would likely die within a matter of months, I was forced to look at what to treasure each and every day & what to discard. Granted it’s easy to forget doing that every day, but my main goal was a concerted effort to enjoy each day as it comes; enjoy the little things; repair, reject, or cherish relationships based on how they affect my overall quality of life; be in nature as much as I can, etc. So the three things that make me happy and I am most grateful for include those things plus more. Also, there are many more things but trying to keep this short.
What makes me happy and grateful for include:
1. I have been cancer free since late 2018, thanks to my excellent care at MD Anderson Cancer Center. I am so grateful for that and for every day here on earth it gives me.
2. My healthy relationships with my husband and family and for removing those who caused me stress and grief.
3. Living in a quiet, tree filled neighborhood where I can work and enjoy nature.
4. Having 2 sweet & loyal dogs that bring so much joy and laughter to my life.
5. As a retired couple, I am thankful that we are able to live a fairly comfortable life.
Now, as a mother of grown children I put on my mother’s hat to say the following…
Kalle, I have honestly been concerned about you and how you have voiced what your life is like and how you navigate through it in some recent videos. It seems like you are taking on so many projects, are isolating yourself with your work (which you admit you like), & then how those things can be so very damaging to a relationship.
Living in the isolated area where you are, I worry about how your priorities may not leave you with enough quality time for Christine. Too many times a spouse (& often the male spouse) get too wrapped up in their job and/or on their electronic devices and forget to place value on the mental & emotional needs of their spouse. And because you really have no close-by neighbors or friends it has had me wondering how Christine is doing & feeling. I know she very rarely puts out videos on her channel and has expressed sadness at times. You have spoken about how YOU like to be alone but in fact, you are NOT really alone. And my hope is that she does not feel lonely & feels that your relationship is healthy & rewarding for her too.
If you want true hapiness. You need to turn to Allah. Allah says in the Quran about happiness:
Quran (13:28):
"Such are the ones who believe (in the message of the Prophet) and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Surely in Allah's remembrance do hearts find rest"
Remember, this life is a test:
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” [Quran, 51: 56]
Your words are inspired. To see this video today and reflect on these things feels very timely for me. So happy to see TH-camrs like you keeping my dreams alive through living theirs. I know I'll get there. 1. I'm thankful for the many examples of love in my life [people and pets alike] 2. I'm thankful for my Father in heaven who is aware of me in every detail.. what I need, and the desires of my heart.
3. Thankful that I'm free to build a life I love. So glad to be reminded.
Hey Kalle and crew: wonderful discussion on what's missing in life today-slowing down and taking notice of what's around us. What I am grateful for...1) the Dharma which recognizes that we all suffer but there is a path out; 2) that nothing is permanent and everything changes...which makes us grateful for what we DO have and 3) that I am able to be of service to others and help other sentient beings. You are so correct that we often just keep pushing forward and don't enjoy what is in our hands. Bless you for sharing that insight! Haven't seen Christine in a few videos--hope all is OK.
Thank you. This is very helpful.
Slowing down seems to make everything easier. Being grateful lifts the spirits.
Knowing others are thinking carefully about what really matters is very encouraging.
