Something just a BIT different today, although still a reflection of the themes I discuss regularly at Wisdom and Life.  This time I’m discussing Gratitude as it relates to Tom Brady and his 2018 loss in Super Bowl 52.  As you can see from the preceding link, Brady says he’s grateful for getting to Super Bowl 52.  He says all the right things and everything I believe as well is reflected in his statements.  I especially like the title of this column today.  And yes, Tom Brady is credited with saying:
Learning Turns Everything Into A Positive.

I understand that The Patriots can be polarizing.  However, everyone should be able to identify with being grateful.  If you can separate The Patriots and Tom Brady from who they are and simply take Tom Brady’s lesson on finding the gift in loss, you’ll learn to live life in a better way.  It’s why I write this blog.  I want to show that there is another way.  But you still need to do the work.  You still need to apply the lessons.

 

Being Grateful is a HUGE lesson to learn.  Many people have still to learn that being grateful is the key to a positive life.  Even in life’s catastrophes, if you can take one thing away from adversity and turn it into a positive you’re on your way to living an affirmative life.  This is not an easy step to take when just learning about Law of Attraction, (LoA) which at its core is all about living a grateful life however the more you practice the tenets of LoA, the easier it will become.

 

Look at Tom Brady’s link above and you will clearly see someone practicing LoA.  He may not know that’s what he’s doing, however it is apparent to anyone who knows the tenets of the practice, that IS EXACTLY what he is saying.

 

Loss of anything or anyone is cause for reflection and distress.  The goal of reflecting on your challenge is to hopefully come out the other end of the adversity with a positive.  If someone who lost the most impactful game of the NFL season can pull out something grateful from the loss then anyone can find something in their own challenges to be grateful for.

 

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

Chris

Once you realize that life is eternal,
That our souls our eternal,
That we return to light and physical over and over;

We then lose all our distress
We then lose all our fear of dying.  For there truly is no end.

    What a fantastic and oh-so-true statement by Tom Brady! I was not aware of this until you wrote about it here, Chris, so I really appreciate this info. Learning DOES turn everything into a positive when we have that attitude of gratitude.
    Blessings!

    I’m simply grateful that all this football is over and done with for a long while.
