MINDSET
A Shot of Gratitude
I want to share something that happened last weekend that was downright magical.
It started with my son, Archer, being a bit of a pain in the ass.
Classic 5-year-old behaviour when tired, right?
The whining, the neediness – and let me tell you, when you're running on fumes yourself, it can be downright frustrating.
So there I was, dealing with Archer's epic meltdown, and I stumbled across this video.
It had my attention in less than 15 seconds.
And what I experienced next was an overwhelming wave of gratitude and joy that totally changed my perspective.
The video had this voiceover that went something like this:
“Whenever you're frustrated with your kids, close your eyes and imagine you're 80.
You have a time machine that brings you back to this exact moment.
And this is the only moment you get with them while they're young.”
Boom. Mind. Blown.
Think about it – time flies, and there’s no time machine to return these moments.
When I’m 80, I’d give anything to have my whingey 5-year-old again.
That realisation instantly shifted my mood and filled me with gratitude.
This mindset can be applied to anything and anyone in your life.
Try it out today. Take a moment, close your eyes, and imagine the future you looking back.
It’s a game-changer!
