When You Are GRATEFUL You Become Less SELF-DESTRUCTIVE! | Russell Brand | #Shorts

You have to be grateful. I'll tell you why. Because when you are grateful, you become less self-destructive. Here's how I use gratitude in my own life. Second something goes wrong, like maybe, I know, what if I don't get a job I want, or what if my wife won't give me what I want? Possibly it's conjugal activity, or possibly it's some kind of dinner, or possibly it's approval. You know, there's a myriad of things that I require from my life partner, wife, partner. Gratitude means that instead of focusing on the one negative thing that I'm not getting in that moment, I focus instead on the many things I already have. Two wonderful daughters, daughters, this beard, a lovely house, freedom, not poor anymore, not on drugs no more, not signing on. I've got a tattoo of a snake on my finger. People can argue if they want that it looks like a worm dragging a handbag. They can say whatever they want to me, but I know that it's a Mark Mahoney original. The principle of gratitude is an important one. We can control our consciousness through attention and intention.
