    I'm a doctor and was holding back for the entire video; given that we are trained to hide our emotions in clinical settings. I heard "Trust me..." and rolled my eyes, assuming the narrator was about to say "I'm a doctor." When he said "I'm in a lab coat" I lost it laughing and crying at the same time. You don't need a medical school education or a PhD to positively influence people's lives, or any formal education at all for that matter. Just a simple message like this can really influence a person's outlook on life and how they feel about themselves. Even someone like me; a cold, conditioned medical professional whose life centers around neutralizing my feelings and emotions. I'm going to call my dad and do this as soon as it isn't 3:20 a.m. on a Thursday night, because I have a day off tomorrow.

    In the period between childhood and maturity, we're often reluctant to honestly express our gratitude. But when we leave the things we had far behind, we come to realize with painful clarity just how precious they were. Just how happy they made us.

    This video almost 10 years ago changed my life. And I have changed so many lives living this out.. Anytime I speak highly about someone to someone else, I often call and message the person I was talking about in that moment to express that to them. I've also asked close friends who talk someone else up, to call that person in the moment to express that. They're shy about doing it at first, but once they do.. they see how much their life change.
    From the bottom of my heart, I hope you see this. Thank you for this video as it moved more mountains in so many people's lives than you'll ever realize

    Im greatful for my younger brother, not only because i have someone to talk to and is always there. But because he got me out of deppression and stopped from suiciding in the garage. Im grateful that he helped me see what i had lost sight of, he helped me see what was in front of me this whole time. Which was my family, my brother saved my life. Gave me hope that things would get better. My brother is my best friend that nothing / no one can replace. Im grateful for having him around, despite the times that we fight and hate eachother. There isnt anything in the world that will change that. My brother who is now 12 at the time has saved the life of someone who was 17 and have been going into the darkest moments of deppression. Thanks to him, I'm still in good health. My younger brother, whom at the time didnt care of what i did for the longest time, did something that even i couldnt do. That was, showing me the pain that loved ones would have to endure, for my careless thoughts, while blinded in deppression. Thanks to him I found what i have been missing. Thank you bro. For having my back when i needed it the most then and now.

    I can't upload a video because there are students involved, but I did this with my kids. They are from a title 1 school and many of them have rough backgrounds. I showed them this video, had them write the letter, and many decided to call the person from school. Some cried, which made me cry, but all were happy. I'm working on placing positive energy in their lives and this was one that I'm sure they won't forget!

    Bill and Rose Morriss gave me a graduation card in 1970 and that wisdom has sustained me all my long life:
    Happiness does not
    depend upon what
    happens outside of you
    but on what happens
    inside of you; it is
    measured by the spirit
    in which you meet the
    problems of life.

      I am grateful for marijuana in that it served as a catalyst for us all to have some time in nature, without the lab coats, without the imposition of manmade technologies and without the sterile scientific mindset.
      I am grateful that although we may want to sometimes stand apart analytically in the descriptor language of scientists, we are also realizing that the nature of mind and history is also cyclical return to the truly natural unity of wholistic vibration. Wholistic vibration is an elusive concept to the logos, like 'Aloha', it is one aspect that small kids instantly understand but those more initiated into society find marijuana experiences may be very helpful to aid in revival of.
      It wasn't until marijuana that I fully went back, knowing it didn't mean all had been destroyed, only that the flowers, ground and fruits of nature would also be coming with me, not restrained or diminished.
      I was able to talk to the Buddha in the plants and for the peace I gave thanks.

    My mum and I aren't in the same country and I haven't called her in 3 wks. This has reminded me that inspite of all the ups and downs in our relationship and all our disagreements she still wants the best for me. We're pretty much oil and water and I remember exactly when that happened when I was younger. As much as it is hard for either of us to verbally communicate affection, it's important I let her know I appreciate how much she's done for me.

There are a bunch of Ex-New Age testimonies on RUclips telling from their personal experinces of demonic attacks through New Age. Pls for your soul leave it and come to the true light of the lord God.

    This is by far the most precious gift I have ever received in my life, and I will cherish it and hold it dear to my heart! Because this letter, I had the most wonderful Christmas, though I almost cried my eyes out while reading her touching words. Last night, I put it under my pillow, and had a sound , relaxed and long sleep!
    What a priceless Christmas gift that I have, and I would like to share my joy and happiness to all of you.

    I've been very critical as of late and I don't like it. I'm trying to be more appreciative now, I've been practising gratitude for a while now, and I tell my mum how much I appreciate her a lot, it's nice to know you're appreciated. Now I want to take it to the next level and express it to as many people as possible, I don't wanna be critical anymore, I wanna be loving and all accepting. Ty for this video, even watching it uplifted my spirits. _ /|\ _ ❤️

    Brilliant video. Something we can all do more of in our lives. That one phone call makes such a difference for both the recipient & giver. Imagine you did this on a weekly basis - how you would feel then? And imagine how people would feel about being around you? Love it.
    Also loved the bit at the end - "Trust me. I'm in a lab coat".

    I wonder how much of this can be attributed to expressing gratitude, versus genuine connection? Those who weren't able to call the person, still expressed their gratitude in writing, but I think having those heart-felt conversations with another, are some of the most meaningful experiences we can have in life. Especially in a culture that emphasizes individualism, life can feel very isolating. Our mental health craves community and connection, and expressing gratitude is a great gateway through the walls we typically hide behind

    It is nice to see that with all of our social media where people do not actually meet other people face to face and appear to hate each other, that when it comes right down to it and their feelings are exposed, there is a genuine loving and caring individual. This strengthened my belief even if it's just a little that people can still actually be kind and caring. We need more of this rather than the hatred you see on television.

Thank you, America, you are the land that allows us oneness, you give us all connections but you also let us be alone, in your natural glory, you are a Buddha pure land.
    America you have made us friends to all cultures, highlighting that we are one at the root and as unique as the colors of a rainbow in individuality. Because you have made friendship through education and ended misconception you recieve the gift of all the parts helping one cause.
    I am grateful for the liberations that are yet to blossom from the boughs of American trees, I am in thanksgiving every day knowing that all beings will be liberated from injustice.
    America they will not mine your metals and oils because the liberty growing there is more renewable! Liberty itself is a resource that we must realize we have in prime , karmas law

    I just sent my mom and sisters a long text saying that I love them. I don't remember the last time I've said it but I'm grateful they exist. My mother for her sacrifices, my elder sister for her protection(she's small and crazy. Filipino women, am I right?) and my little sister for saving me. Because if it wasn't for her existence, I would've committed suicide at a young age and I realised one day back then that I didn't want to put her through that. I don't think I've cried this long in decades. I'm a 28y old man bawling his eyes out over a text. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I had my clients write a gratitude list and on the list they put 3 things they are grateful for. 3 people they are grateful for and 3 reasons why. I wish I had of asked them to call those 3 people! It was awesome though. They shared openly and so many emotions from joy to tears to recognition on how they felt about them etc. I explained that I do a gratitude list in prayers in the morning when awaking and evening before bed. It has had such a powerful influence over my life and attitude towards life. Love this!

    I'm a high school English teacher, and I used this video for a "Thanksgiving week activity." I did the activity and called someone to read my letter to in front of each of my classes, each time my students actually cried listening to me express my gratitude towards my husband, my sister, my sons, and my best friend. Each student did the same activity and called someone from class--the lesson was not lost on anyone! So many of them were talking about how well it worked: "I called my mom, and she said I made her day, and now I feel really good that I changed her day!" This was the most powerful lesson I have ever taught! Thank you!

And made me around 70-80% better mood, wiser, it is awesome. And thank you ♡

    I'm a physician and was holding back for the entire video; given that we are trained to hide our emotions in clinical settings. I heard "Trust me..." and rolled my eyes, assuming the narrator was about to say "I'm a doctor." When he said "I'm in a lab coat" I lost it laughing and crying at the same time. You don't need a medical school education or a PhD to positively influence people's lives, or any formal education at all for that matter. Just a simple message like this can really influence a person's outlook on life and how they feel about themselves. Even someone like me; a cold, conditioned medical professional whose life centers around neutralizing my feelings and emotions. I'm going to call my mom and do this as soon as it isn't 3:20 a.m. on a Thursday night, because I have a day off tomorrow.

    It is inspiring to see americans around me being a little more assuring of their loyalty to THIS country, and their adherence to american freedom and equality in personal experience.
    I had an experience that represented a climactic insight that all things have never ceased to be emptiness, but even despite this, love is. I emphasized the rareness and fullness of the logic and experience of freedom beauty and happiness is gave me, as an equation just that one fractal step beyond the grids.
    Other americans listened and felt awe, but they then found equalities in their own unique experiences. They are americanly polite. They are finding equality and matching one of my greatest experiences thus making it relateable.
    Only in america can I be enlightened and instantly everyone else understand without explanation, so i am grateful, this is not a place where spiritual teachers are needed really, so much as a place whose principles must be viewed more simply and constantly for it to grow and flourish as it should.
    Money alone is not america, and money is possibly in a sense a trap for america, who must assure its true essence of wealth is its adherence to real freedom of life and consciousness without violence. Thank you USA

I am deeply grateful to have seen the good of a little of all heritages in good life circumstances, absorbing some of the deep wisdom of all people's in such a meeting place as the USA. The open minded philosophy is a true blessing, there are so many things among the varied cultures that compliment and deepen the understanding of other cultures that is why America will always survive because it is the stablest place that will always remind us and thrive specifically on those who love to find those connections and draw people together over them for the greatest good. Thank you for places where nonbiased perspectives can truly be reached.
