[@sophietilla]

When my love passed away, I watched this on repeat through the nights when I couldn't sleep. It was the only thing that could calm me, I am grateful for Brother David and creators of this! Love, love, love it.

[@TJ-kz1ul]

I hope you are doing well.

[@nohelypolanco4261]

Put your eyes in Jesus Christ! He's the peace. God bless you!

[@cartergomez5390]

God is love. Your love is with God and always watching over you. Nine years have passed but you are stronger than ever! 🙏

[@lisamay3587]

17 years ago this video found me. I have returned and still love this message 🙏🏼

[@jujumulligan43]

YOU are a great prayer. You are here now.

[@a.thomasgrunley5297]

Well said. Agree 100%. I don’t even mean to cry but it overflows me with positive emotion every time.

[@DIANA-rv7zn]

Dankeschön für diesen Impuls!Er kam genau im richtigen Moment zu mir und fand mein offenes und Dankbares 💜🙏

[@DoctorPamBrill]

Each of us, too, has an incredible story behind our faces, within our hearts. This message reminds us that we are one, that our voyage is short, and that seizing and relishing each moment is the only choice. Living in the Zone- or at least trying... Dr. Pam Brill

[@joshuaradnedge3884]

I am currently struggling with an addiction, and no matter how bad the urges get to want to relapse, I always remember gods plan for me. I have been playing this video when I feel those urges, and I am instantly cured. Thank you Brother David 😊❤️

[@victorkremar7924]

I just watched this video. The link was sent to me by a friend. I see that you replied 2-years ago. I am hoping that by now you have found yourself comfortably embracing sobriety. I too struggled with alcohol and drug addiction but I have slowly turned my life over to the powers greater than me who are so eloquently described in this video. Best wishes and God bless you.

[@kbc1883]

I am here for the same reason. Sending you strength and hope and cheering you on. God loves us.

[@caminchahouweling6283]

Hold on, don't dismay, you will win this ❤

[@SharessaTackett]

I don’t know you, but I’m praying God continues to give you strength. 🙏🏻

[@jujumulligan43]

What a beautiful thing to get so much from this that your habit is slowly fading. I believe you are already free. Peace ❤❤❤

[@barbaraquintana1642]

I’ve watched, listened and shared many times and with many people. Especially when I wish someone a good day. I then send the video and embellish my wish with... “and then it will be, a really Good Day” The only appropriate response is Gratefulness.

[@pumpkinshellz]

I often turn to this video to bring me back to mindfulness when my mind becomes cluttered by troubles, conflict or anxiety. Thank you Brother David for this beautiful video, for your gentle reminder to be present in my own life and to be grateful for the gift that are always surrounding me.

[@grateful_org]

Thank you all for your comments. Some of us have an abundance of blessings every day. Others have to dig deeper to find them. Etty Hillesum, a holocaust survivor wrote: "As life becomes harder and more threatening, it also becomes richer, because the fewer expectations we have, the more the good things of life become unexpected gifts that we accept with gratitude." If we can keep open to surprise, we might discover more and more to be grateful for...

[@uzurpassion]

Thank you for your words. Just to remind us : sadly E.H. did not survive.

[@momentsofgratitude5790]

This is by far my favorite video on the internet. I tell everyone I can about it.

[@livewithpassion2009]

me too! I do workshops and it is mentioned so many times to participants and I encourage my clients to listen/watch this everyday for at least a month!

[@von2oppy]

my favorite is howard the alien

[@terrywilliams8157]

This video touched me. I lost my husband a year ago, and wondered how I'm going to make it through. No job, no money. Just being a blessing to someone else is a very powerful message. Thank you Brother David!

[@astamichelazzo6796]

[@gabimurawo788]

I watch and hear this Video daily and it helped me soooooo much thx to Brother David and the Team

[@klezmersue]

I adore this video. My wish is that one would be made to help blind people feel all these benefits.

[@CahillandDelene]

Dearest Brother, your words brought happy tears as I am so touched by your spirit. I will share your beautiful video with many others. These are the messages, images and music that we need to focus on to counterbalance the darkness. Thank you for your love of humankind--we cannot have world peace until we love ourselves, have respect for ALL sentient beings and have constant gratitude at each fresh moment in our lives. The world is a beautiful place when we look. You have blessed us all David.

[@LisaGenix]

LOVE this video! It grounds and reminds me once again how grateful I am with my life that is right in front of me. Don't know how anyone wouldn't like this. The world needs to see this message!

[@loveinthenow]

a good friend sent me this video sometime ago..I watch now and then and this beautiful images and words touch my spirit and remind me of what life is all about..when I feel this connection with all things I am happy and I wish you all happiness too....

[@pisumalu]

He's done a lot more than look at clouds all day. My understanding of presence is awareness without thought. Thought is useful when changing a gasket, but if it never shuts up? I think B. David is just encouraging greater awareness of the beauty that surrounds us. First Day = Awe, seeing anew. Last Day = Not putting off life (someday I want to...). The gift is the beauty that presence brings into our awareness. How often does our internal dialogue blind us to that. There's so much more.

[@clarecooper6673]

I am arriving here at this beautiful film in 2020. What a time to be considering these reflections and absorbing the beauty of the images. Thank you. Be blessed.

[@Mindfulnets]

thanks for this message to regain faith in human understanding and gratitude. We send this video to thank people in our daily life. Thank you Brother David

[@reekashade]

We all need to understand that life is a blessing and love is the light that guides us along the way.Bless.

[@tombstonetom]

Wouldn't these words be good to hear first thing each morning? Thank you for sharing such wisdom so gracefully.

[@susanbond9702]

I look at this nearly every morning....and share with all my new internet friends....its lovely....thankyou. x God Bless everyone x

[@mkg59]

81 people need to watch this continuously!

[@grateful_org]

Thanks Mark. It is amazing how many times I have personally watched this since 2007 and continue to benefit from it!

[@mkg59]

Gratefulness I watch this many times during the course of each day. It never fails to bring a tear to my eyes.

[@EwingAmaterasu]

All this time, I understood that to live happily virtue was needed. With virtue I understand inner peace and compassion towards all beings, and all the virtues that come from both of this. But I always knew something was missing. Thanks to the words of this saint, I understand now that the first step, is being grateful. Because by being grateful, we can comprehend the absolute beauty of this world, all sentient beings and God. Because if I can have inner peace and compassion, and with this happiness, I have to be great full of having the opportunity of enjoying my life every single way. Through gratefulness we become humble, with humbleness we understand our position, and form there, we move towards virtue, always touching it and always going to it. We learn to appreciate our potential of happiness and we obtain inner peace with compassion, but by being grateful first and always. God bless this man.

[@grateful_org]

Thank you Ricard, for your thoughtful words about gratefulness and your honoring of Br. David...I hope that you visit our site, www.gratefulness.org and our sister site, www.viviragradecidos.org/

[@anjosamor]

This is one of the most touching and beautiful videos I ever seen! The peaceful voice of brother David completes perfectly the message that he is sending to all of us. A Divine message full of simplicity, yet pure wisdom!!!! Thank you brother David for opening our hearts and souls.... Thank you so much. D.

[@grateful_org]

Oh, Sophie. I just found your message, which touched my heart and I am sure Br. David will also be moved when I tell him. We send you our deepest condolences, Margaret, Br. David and the Gratefulness Webteam.

[@FrontSightful]

Yesterday a friend an I took a hiking trip (snowshoeing) up on Mt Rainier. It was completely overcast as we drove toward the mountain, and we were talking about how it was great that we'd brought our extra thick coats. As we got closer to our starting point we saw a beautiful bright blue sky ... and warm ... we were above the thick layer with just a few little puffy clouds. What a gift! I spent quite a few moments giving thanks. :)

[@illuminatedrose]

At these difficult times on the planet, where we don't know what our future will be, with radiation spewing out on this beautiful blue marble, it give me peace and gratitude and a good reminder of how precious this and each moment is. . Thank you for this lovely youtube.

[@YuFangTseng4903]

My teacher showed this to us in class and I teared up a little. This video really reminded me of the things I can be thankful of, of how nice it was to be alive and what I should and can do every day, in this day that is gifted to us.

[@MichaelRingInsurance]

If you ever want to read a wonderful essay by Bro David Steindl Rast, it's called The Monk In Us.

[@RUCROCK1]

When I'm having a bad day or just feel down, I watch, most of all listen and appreciate what I have. This will sometimes help put everything in right. Peace & blessings, & be safe. ANDRÉ

[@elaineroddy9958]

This is such a beautiful blessing. I listen more than once a day and am always uplifted by this wonderful gift. Brother David has enhanced my life Blessings to you all❤

[@8togreatprogram]

This is the video I watch at least once a week. It never fails to take me to my highest happiest heart opening place. So grateful to Brother David.

[@grateful_org]

Thank you MK! I will pass along your appreciation to Br. David. We will soon update this video with more high-res photos, but keep the same soundtrack and beautiful meditative images. So glad this early version is still touching hearts...~Margaret

[@8togreatprogram]

I just wrote my 6th book. One of the 8 steps of my process is gratitude. In the book, I put this link. Will the link stay the same?

[@grateful_org]

Good question. The update is still months away. Can I ask you what link you used in your book? Was it this direct KZbin link, or our webpage - gratefulness.org/resource/a-good-day/?

[@leahnakamura3689]

Thank you for these two videos, A Good Day and A Grateful Day. They begin my mornings. I have shared them with so many of my friends and they are equally moved. Blessings! And Gratefulness for your beautiful work. And aren’t we grateful for Brother David! Leah Nakamura, AOJN

[@CahillandDelene]

143 people don't have love and gratitude in their lives. I hope they find it. Gratitude is the key to a happy and contented life! Brother David is awesome, and the music and photos are beautiful! Blessings to you always!

[@m_isho]

The world is beautiful. Many people are blind and can't see that. I wish people could reflect the message of this video. That would bring more joy to us.

[@MarkDevan]

Life is a gift to which our only appropriate response is gratefulness.

[@sac1577]

Today is the MOST AMAZING DAY to be ALIVE that has EVER existed! I praise God!!! And thank you Brother David so much! I balled like a baby! haha

[@HyperActive7]

What a powerful message, In today's world all we hear about is bad news and nothing about what good there is. On thanksgiving day me and my brother were watching the news and thought they had gone insane when they started talking about good things for a few minutes. Sadly, a few minutes later it was back to the usual who got killed and what's bad in this world. Listen to a message like this when times are down and you will respect the fact that you should be lucky for you have and get to do.

[@myhealingrooms566]

I have never been so moved by the spoken word and music by the amazing Gary Malkin

[@grateful_org]

We agree! It was a magical recording - Br. David's words were done in one spontaneous take. Then Gary outdid himself with the music....

[@42luke93]

Always live every day as if it is the last time you will ever do what you are doing right now. Like this you don't regret not doing something you wish you did in the future.

[@Wallaaii]

I want to watch this video clip at least every night before I sleep...what a gift from Brother David Steindl-Rast

[@Princess1111-n3x]

Thank you for Today! Thank you for everyday! Everyday is a gift. Every story is a treasure..❤

[@rcniemeier]

A very good reminder - we tend to take so much for granted. Thank you, Lord, for each day, each hour, every moment. What a wondrous gift Life is!

[@DeadApp]

With all my hardships this has really been a good day to me because of this vidieo Brings tears to watch. This is what America needs

[@Wallaaii]

Accept life that you exist and alive, understand that you're given the best gift ever, as today is your present and Now is your time always, and you are here to enjoy all that manifest in this life time, like the Breath...without which nothing is possible...be grateful and content that you feel GOOD.

[@saintjohnrowan]

Brother, This is the reason we were given eyes - to see the Beauty of all things. Thank you from my heart. Today YOU were GOds gift to me.

[@noreenkelly1995]

Let us try to remember this every day, because we just forget.....

[@TheLoggman]

Our Professor showed us this video clip today on our last day of semester brought tears in my and my friends eyes. I say a morning prayer !

[@alexanderSnilsson]

Whenever I feel sad, lost or just find myself in a strange emotional place - I go here and fill myself up with love to myself, to all the people and to this planet. Works like a charm every time to break that negative spiral!

[@grateful_org]

Hi, Alexander - thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that you find inspiration here. We recently updated "A Good Day Day," and since you enjoy it so, I suggest you check out the new video "A Grateful Day:" kzbin.info/www/bejne/sITXaJ6VpsSkiLc. We hope you enjoy it. Be well! -Rose

[@FrontSightful]

Last month I took a few days to go on a last-minute trip to Colorado ... to get away, see a concert and spend some time just "being." I got lost while driving around, but rather than getting upset I just kept driving in the general direction of where I thought I should go. I paid attention to the sky, the land, the trees ... everything. I stopped in a little coffee shop to ask directions and said hello to everyone, they were all so friendly. All in all, it was a good day!

[@lfminervt]

Beautiful. Peaceful. Watching each morning as I sit in front of my light box. Thank you for this amazing and beautiful reminder that I should feel grateful for the good and the beauty I do have in my life, often taken for granted. Blessings!

[@byronofcascadia8629]

Brother David is beautiful. I am so grateful for him! (Smiling). His teaching reminds me of a mystical experience I once had where I entered gratitude--a thankfulness to the Divine (as I best comprehended such). The result was a momentary release from the conditioned mind---an out of body experience that was pure illuminated bliss. As perfect as it was it lasted only moments. Years later I was to learn it was the heaviness of the conditioned mind that "closed back in." Stiendl-Rast presents the beauty of contemplating gratitude and it will (slowly) transform us. How good is that!?

[@grateful_org]

+Byron of Cascadia Thank you so much for your kind message and illuminating message. I am sure that Br. David would appreciate this lovely description of your peak experience. Would you consider writing more about it for Gratefulness.org? www.gratefulness.org/share_story/

[@victoria622]

Absolutely beautiful. I really needed to feel peaceful and centred again. I am truly grateful for everything and everyone around me. Thankyou.

[@Phoebesgran]

We all need reminding of what is important really in our lives, we tend to stroll off the path very often in life without even noticing the next person in front or at the side of us let alone whats around us. We are very lucky in this country and have far more than we need compare to other countries. Thank you so much for making this beautiful video that so stops one in their tracks, Margaret Collins

[@Blaisesongs]

This way of relating can change the world by changes it brings in the one who practices it. Thank you, Brother David, for the reminder.

This video is just a touch by an Angel and the blessing from the giver of this existance...thanks for posting it...

[@thegoldenshiningstar]

I stopped praying when I discovered the green gratitude glyph and all that it represents... because I have no needs or wants, everything has been provided... and continually offering praise, no matter the place or time... even for challenging stimulation or suffering, as well as the joyful moments and ecstasy of nature which is present and perfect every second... and has been since the beginning of time as we know it... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Thank you!

[@Wallaaii]

As we hear this message, we will begin by feeling good from inside, feel good about who are and be SELF-ACTUALIZING people...and every day should be a good day regardless
