A friend of mine recently asked his priest the best way to pray, and he said most people pray out of fear. Most people pray when they want something or need something, he said. But the most effective prayers are praying with gratitude. This Thanksgiving is a great reminder to be grateful for what we have. In a world filled with tension and strife, it is more important than ever to just feel and express our gratitude for the things that we do have. I'm grateful for my family. I'm grateful for the people around me who love me and want me to be my natural best. And I'm grateful to you. The people out there are helping me build a vision in which the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are, and end the day fulfilled by the work that they do. I am fully aware that the only reason that this movement is moving is because we're doing it together. So on behalf of the Optimism Company, behalf of all of our optimists here, thank. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Have a very, very happy Thanksgiving.
