- We live in a world of bests. Everyone is on an endless search for the best house, best car, best spouse, best kids, best job, best city, and best vacation. Our entire lives have become taken over by comparison and competition to the point where we can no longer see or appreciate the miracles all around us. Great is no longer good enough, it's got to be the best. Beauty no longer matters unless it's very expensive and exclusive.
While having dreams and working towards them is what makes us human, this endless quest for peak experiences diminishes the wonder and joy we can feel between those peaks. And it makes us miss out on the beauty all around us. Just because we are surrounded by infinite miracles at all times, doesn't make them any less special.
This film takes viewers on a journey back to the natural gratitude we all have inside us. Instead of taking everything for granted, this film shows us a new way of seeing, and being in, this perfect, magical universe. Gratitude is the most important human emotion because it alone determines the quality of our life. This film is a roadmap back to our grateful hearts.
Rich or poor, we all have this precious gift of life. Only by changing our mindset can we lifts ourselves up through the hard times so we can make the most of our brief time on this beautiful green rock. Sometimes, we just need a little reminder of how precious this life truly is.

Here’s a checklist I made of 20 ways how to add more gratitude to your life: www.eastwesticism.org/free-gratitude-checklist/
i am especially realizing now Todd, that i am becoming able to actually recognize the gifts 🎁 within the drama 🎭 lamas … the upsets and let downs.. 🎁 the rage i very very rarely engage in any longer but when i do, it now morphs into a brilliant bit of learning.. appreciate your beautiful beautiful video blessings.. visually so engaging and every sentence is pack-jammed with so much to contemplate… thank you, again..
😃😃love those behind the scenes moments too😉😉☺️… and soft beds are so preciously fancy and delightful for us!! yes, lots of advertisements in nyc!!😆😆
I'm grateful for my bad childhood, a narcissistic mother and a aloof, disengaged father, a sociopathic sister who tried to kill me at least twice and actually managed to cause the death of my other sister. Im grateful because I'm still here, for my kids and my grandkids who bring me joy every day. I'm grateful for clouds, cats, the moon and thunderstorms, the smell of apple blossom in early spring when it rains.
I was homeless for a period in my life; something I still sometimes can't believe I endured or even got into a place where it happened. There is not a day that goes by that I do not pray for those who are in that place themselves and that I am so deeply grateful to be sober, and that my cat and I have food, a roof over our heads and a safe place to sleep at night. He's a former stray, so he's seen his own stuff in the time before we found each other. Wishing everyone who reads this peace and a way to find happiness amongst the ever-increasing chaos that this world seems to be in these days. Thank you for this wonderful message. 💗
Whoever you are and wherever you are, please know that some random stranger (me) read your story and is thinking of you and sending strength, gratitude and positivity your direction. Happy you found your way out of a dark place and still had the compassion to save a kitty - knowing cats like I do, he probably thinks he helped save you.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for taking the time to respond to an internet stranger with such uplifting thoughts. And, yes, I have no doubt he believes he saved me. In a way, he's probably right. 😸☺Wishing all of the kindness you extended to come back to you multi-fold. @@phyllisreinking4208
Me too. I was homeless for a few months and into winter cold, my cat died during that time. My daughter sent for me, now I'm safe and warm and have a job and place to live.. When I'm walking to my car at night after work, I stop and sit with a man who sleeps in a doorway, who I can call my friend now. He's a very nice guy. I can so much relate to the lonliness of homelessness.
Bless you, lovely.

One hour ago I had bad news about a material loss. I’m on my bed, sad about it. Scrolling through videos , searching for solace.
And this comes to me.
Thank you. 🙏
Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope everything starts looking up soon 🙏
@@ToddPerelmuter thank you! Things already look much better! Thank you! 🙏
I lost every penny, all my possessions, home, the lot. And at the time it was incredibly painful. And you too will feel bad for a time and maybe not know how you will go on. But you will go on. You will rise again. You have the whole universe supporting you. Look around and see abundance everywhere - in nature, in trade, in human interaction, in grains of rice in a packet. Life is so abundant. It is your nature. And believe me, you will be abundant again xx
Remember for every loss, there is a gain. Sometimes we have to look for it.
I am Grateful to God I am alive after suffering almost four years with Cancer.. I woke up today .. I am healthy ❤
🙏🏼
You are so much stronger now. Live your life in peace and love. 😊
so happy for you!
❤
I am so thankful for the Love of my Creator God and the personal tender watchcare He provides.
I am so grateful for my strong resilient loving heart. Even after the sudden devastating death of my husband, the issues that came after with the estate, lawyers, the children. I stood up and faced it all like a Bison in the storm. My spirit is a Bison. I am so grateful that God gave me such a gift. “Barns burnt down, I can see the moon”.
Wow, inspiring ❤
🙏💜👍💜🙏
Amazing! 🎉❤😊
I'm sorry for your loss and touched by your courage and resilience. Love is who we are and the love we share remains always xx
The most profoundly beautiful , enlightening spiritual moment was after I stood , after losing everything , looking at the sun rise after some one tried to kill me but I escaped and received a message that I was to come back here and that I am safe , deeply loved and protected . I trusted that I was not just ok but divinely guided . My best and most blissful moment on Earth so far ;D
I am still so devastated about the loss of my son 2,5 years ago, feeling worse with every day that goes by,with building anxiety and hopelessness.
After finding your message today, I will try harder to find gratitude, and I will explore your other videos.
Thank you so much for what you do. I am grateful that I found you. 🙏
You've only experienced the most difficult thing a human being can experience and so I've absolutely nothing to say.
I'm only responding to let you know; I'm listening and my heart is broken by what I hear. You are not crying alone.
Your son would not want you to suffer. He would want you to go on with your life being happy. Hugs.❤
@@StephenLewisful thank you so much 🙏❤️

Our society has taught us that happiness is “out there”, in what we own, the status we have, etc., but Tood is right. We need to open our eyes, look INSIDE us, and we can feel already at home, even when we are going through the hard times. We need to go through the darkness to come out the other side!
I am 73, worked through lifelong depression to finally find inner peace, and now have learned to feel all of my emotions, even when letting myself feel the suppressed sadness I kept inside for most of my life. I’m now alive in every moment, whatever emotion I’m feeling. If I die tomorrow, I am already grateful for the moment I have now. I know that when I will die, even if alone, I will be alright! I have now found myself.
I hope that your videos help other people to learn that happiness is on the inside and that gratitude helps us to recognise this.
Aw Denise that's great. You are not alone x
I am grateful to be part of this community thank you ❤️i lost my husband of 38 year's then 3 months later lost the roof over my head and my land due to a family members deciet,i was homeless for 6 months but 2 years on im living a beautiful,playful, grateful life everyday is a breath of fresh air and beauty all around to behold im feeling blessed ❤️🙏
I wish you luck 🙏🏻 ❤️
You came through the storm, the “Gift of Suffering”, as they say, Congratulations and wishing you the best future ever. 🙏💜👍💜🙏
A grateful heart creates more things to be grateful for. Be the help the world needs however you can. Be the light in someone's darkness. Forgive those who insult and hurt you because it is not about you ~ it is something inside them. Remember that things don't happen TO YOU but instead they happen FOR YOU. Be grateful for them and wait for the good to unfold.
Beautifully said ❤
God has given you the graces to help so many with your words. So heartfelt. Thank you.
Better think of what you HAVE in life, than what you don't.
Respect the Todd
Listen to the Todd
Be like the Todd
👀💙💯🙏🏴
Haha...too kind ❤
Thank you Todd. I lost my way and started telling everyone my story of pain and hurt. Im learning to change that story and talk about whats great. Bless you.
Gratitude can be about way more than the losses in life.
Notice how you can’t simultaneously be grateful and focusing on trauma and horror. It’s one or the other and you choose which one to illuminate
I like the way you put that..❤
Sending you love, light and Gratitude ❤. I am grateful for all that I have and all that I am. Thank you for being here!
❤
I watch this many times and feel grateful every time
Gratitude is absolutely magic, full stop.
Thank you algorithm 🙏 for showing me this at this very moment
That's exactly what I wanted to say ❤ Funny how it all works.
“If the only prayer you said your entire life was thank you, that would be enough.”

❤❤liefde voor iedereen
You are a great Human Being.
I am grateful to you..❤️❤️
Grateful for you ❤
“ We are fortunate to even to have died because it means we had a life.”
gratitude is the keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I am truly grateful to God for every blessing I have. His love, light, and peace are the saving grace of my life. God bless you all.
Gratitude, love and prayers 🙏 ❤
Peace to you my friend. You are a bright shining light on planet Earth.
Todd, I am so sorry for the loss of your home. I understand you being so grateful for not being there during the fire but, DAMN...there is SO MUCH LOSS in losing your home, your place of respite, where memories have formed. I would need more processing.
My anxiety just melts away when I watch this. 🙏❤
Truly glad you and your family are safe. However, being grateful to the universe is misguided. Be grateful to the CREATOR of the universe and ALL things, including you.
MARANATHA !
I am so grateful for Nature , green plants ,trees, flowers, the ocean, waterfalls, rivers , lakes, the sky, with clouds the night sky with stars and the moon 🌕, the Animals of all kinds that fill our hears with their love of just being ❤ there is so much to be grateful for and it’s even better when you have someone to share it with ❤☺️🦋🌈⚡️✨💋🥰🙏
My elderly cousin and her husband got burned out of the apartment building they had lived in for 50 years in Queens NY. They were not hurt but lost everything.😢
I hope things turn around soon for them 🙏
@@ToddPerelmuter Thank you Todd, we are hopeful. 💞
Todd ..... terrible war and conflicts .eg ...... Ukraine,...... Gaza, so very sad.
Thankyou for sharing .
It wasnt until i lost everything did i know who i truly was .
To sit .Be still and having to face myself .
Thats when i started this spiritual journey .
Surrounding myself with nature.
And trying to heal
Having to reinvent myself to be a stronger person today .
I am so grateful ❤
I'm with Todd, there's nothing like a soft bed, especially after you've gone without! Beautiful film, BTW, thank you... 🙏
i'm grateful that this video showed "randomly" on my feed. i am a fan of gratitude but have also been far from practicing it lately. letting myself be buried by my own complains and fear of uncertainty. i still don't have many answers but i know for a fact that there's plenty to be grateful for in my life right now. thank you for the reminder.
I've always felt that gratitude feels a lot like love.
Wishing you lots of laughter and abundance for all the gratitude you have in your heart.
I believe now that with gratitude we can still dance in the storm and be guided by God's presence 💖🙏
Amen ❤
Absolutely, I too had a fire an arson fire. My neighbors got out my dogs n myself got out. They have the person the set the fire in my home. I wasn't angry I figured it a terrible terrible thing. But not a tragedy. I pray for the person. And I thank God we were all okay. And he carried me through. Amen❤❤
So glad everyone is okay ❤
Wonderful! thank you!
It is so bizarre. When I listen to you. Time stands still. I listen to a LOT of videos and podcasts. You have this calm voice, you speak slowly and it comes right in. Easy to understand. Thank you for that. I look at the time left in your video and it seems that 15 minutes would have been nearly done and I'm just halfway. It happens in all your videos. Thank you for slowing down the crazy fast pace world.
I love all your stuff.💕
❤ Thank you!!! Thank You!!! Thank you!!! Life is full of rapids and eddy's in a river. Let's hung on and be grateful 🙏
This film has changed me. I wake up grateful now. Thank you!
❤ Beautiful video
You, my friend, are so wonderfully wholesome. But it's ok to get a little fancy and a little greedy, sometimes. (It keeps the wholesomeness in balance.) Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Gratitude is indeed an underused superpower.
......and some nice jackets.
RIGHT??? 😀
I had to turn my screen around. 🎉 I was so enthralled by that gorgeous sweater that I was missing his words.❤
Wowww i wasn’t expecting for that… truly amazing video.. i was so depressed this days and i don’t know why… i am struggling with my marriage, i have a good husband but i can only look to his defects instead of look to his qualities, i am a muslim, that lovee Allah and trust in him always and i love quran i read daily but i was still kind of stress lately and quran is my only comfort, i find hope and everything that a person need to be happy. But i was still struggling and i find this video. May Allah have a mensagem for me.. i was truly ungrateful lately… and my heart open up with this video and open my eyes too…. That i need to beee more grateful for everything we have in life no matter if is good or bad… subhannaAllah…. I
Thank you,
Life truly is happening for us. The nature to seek the positive in every situation and have gratitude is innate in all beings. There is gold to be found in the good, bad and ugly in life. The lessons and strength one gains is expansive and nurturing of our spiritual growth.
I lost my mother at the age of seven, as a young teenager I thanked her for her sacrifice. Navigating the loss at a tender age I had access to connect to this Sparkly Spiritual Sugar that flows like a cascading waterfall. Endless sea of love that flows through our vessel is the collective energy. Emotions- energy in motion, once we start to feel- we hold on to the emotion and humans get stuck in the physical experience, living the illusion. We are spirit, our bodies are the container. When we are existing in the container our roots can not tap into the source and be the sparkle of the waterfall.
When I learned to love all,
Gratitude was the opening.
I can remember feeling the universe was for my pleasure.
When this awareness occurred, I began living with people & nature, with minimal things.
I appreciate you for sharing the value gratitude with us.
I'm grateful you & your family were away from the burning apartment.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm grateful to stumble upon your film about gratitude. Thank you! 🙏❤
Gratitude thanks needed 😊to hear that
Todd, you make me cry of happiness. Thank you, Todd.
Thank you Todd. Everything is a miracle, and you have the wonderful ability to express it so beautifully. Namaste.
❣️
I'm grateful for all the vegans, for the animals.
Attachment styles are about more than romance.
They’re wired into the core of our nervous systems,
and they’re a foundational element of who we are.
They show up every time we get stressed - in any relationship.
Unresolved wounding is what causes us to be so insecure.
If you want to feel security, connection, and confidence in every aspect of your life,
then you MUST learn how to solve the conflict/repair cycle
because that’s the foundation of it all.
The journey doesn’t end by learning your attachment style.
It’s just the beginning.
…brilliant …!
Such a blessing when you cleanse your life of other and attachment. You’re an amazing man with all he needs no matter what physical possessions are present. Love and respect ❤Todd. I had an amazing experience of loosing everything. Not once or twice but 5 times . Homeless at 60 years old not job no home . Best blessing of my life. I have awakened to myself and see myself with a clear eye of awareness. So much love for you Todd. Understanding that all happens for our ultimate purpose..
That must have been really tough - homeless & jobless at 60. And then you write that you came out changed and are grateful- how did you do that?
Sometimes when we lose everything 😢we realize the ONE THING that has always had the greatest VALUE 😊our very life ❤This man is truly the epitome of the New Earth 🌍 to come 😊it begins with me 😊cocreating as a channel for SOUL LIGHT to shine through so that others will be reminded too 😊that WE ARE ALL ONE IN THE SAME ❤SOULS EXPRESSING THE FULL EXPERIENCE OF CREATOR IN HUMAN FLESH ❤
V v helpful... feeling so humble after watching you
This popped up to me at the perfect time, thanks.
❤
When you release attachments you realize what is important. "YOU" take care of "YOU," " YOU are the most important person in your life. Everything "YOU" do, "YOU" do it for "YOU". Bryan Adams, go back and read the lyrics, listen to the song, it is so heartfelt, it's not about loving another, it's about loving "YOU." Thank you Todd, when I gave you the thumbs, "666" I looked up the meaning. "This angel number is a guidepost pointing toward recommitment to nurturing your foundation-your physical, mental, and emotional well-being." This is the quest to finding true love and happiness. What a beautiful synchronicity. ♥ Gratitude, is understanding who you really are, feel into that. 🙏👼
🙏🏼
Thank you for the gentle reminder to look for the good in everything and everyone. I am so grateful to have found this video this morning! Namaste!
Another Todd masterpiece. Thank you Todd and to ALL those involved in the process to get this on our screens 🙏
I know i have the trait to feel the equanimity inside me. Its fleeting now. Hope to make it my template.Getting there eventually.
I have gratitude for you! I needed to hear this this morning!
❤❤❤ thank you
I am grateful to you and your friends who helped make this video-so simple yet profound and true❤
Thanks for sharing this. What you said , many of us take for granted. Being thankful is so extremely important in life . As you said it takes into consideration the good with the bad which is not always easy. Also I think it takes some practice. Every person will experience joy and pain , happiness and suffering. And as you said being thankful for what is there and what life give in the present moment let's us see that life is always changing which is good thing . Thanks again your philosophy on this is so well explained!
What a beautiful video! One of the most positive videos I have ever seen, Thank you for making it.
Love this., Especially we can live death, because then we knew we lived. So true, great way to look at it
❤🙏
You have a beautiful heart and eyes. You’re so wise and lovely ❤xx
Thank you! This popped up at the perfect time for me. I'm grateful to have seen this tonight and for the reminder.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@Todd you look so funny in this think multi-colored 70s jacket 🤣 but seems to protect you nicely against the NYC cold 🥶- here is what I am grateful for: fresh tap water, a roof for me & my kids, fresh food, my bike, my job, this beautiful country I live in with its stunning nature, my family & friends, music & dance & yoga…
I love, love the jacket…trying to make one….huge squares!
