Episode 34 - Gratitude for the negative

In this reflection, the author embraces the Canadian Thanksgiving spirit

by expressing gratitude not only for apparent joys but also for less

glamorous aspects of life, particularly failures, boredom, and waiting

rooms. Failure, paradoxically, becomes a motivator, marking progress and

pushing one's limits. Boredom is acknowledged for its role in fostering

creativity and prompting mindful choices, turning perceived monotony

into avenues for personal growth. Waiting rooms, often seen as

inconvenient, are appreciated as sanctuaries providing moments for

mindfulness and mental reprieve. The overall message encourages

embracing life's challenges and finding silver linings, recognizing that

even in shadows, there is potential for growth and gratitude.
