This episode is the perfect reminder on this Thanksgiving Day! While most people will tell you to be grateful for the fact that you are alive, have clean air and water and live (hopefully) in a FREE country. Martin changes the discussion pointing to an essential gift that is often overlooked.

What we ought to be thankful for is our UNIQUE capacity to choose our thoughts! To direct our attention, intention and focus. If we "feel whatever we focus upon" then the question to ask is, "WHO is holding your flashlight?" One more time: "WHO is holding your flashlight?" Who decides what you will focus upon at any moment?

This Thanksgiving we get to recognize that our FIRST debt of gratitude ought to be the fact that we hold a most unique gift— the ability to direct our awareness. In fact, it's this capacity that allows US TO BE GRATEFUL this Thanksgiving. So, should you be thinking that you have NOTHING to be grateful for, think again— and then use your gift of awareness as it was intended! ; ) Thanks for sharing THF with your family and friends! BTW: If you're a NEW LISTENER please download the last episode as it will direct you to a great list of "best of" and "Starter" episodes to chew on until SEASON THREE kicks off in the not too distant future! In the meantime, be sure to subscribe! ; )
