A short motivational monologue by Kris Krohn (YouTube) urging listeners to practice gratitude by comparing typical comforts (bed, running water, roof) to more extreme hardship—illustrated by an anecdote about the speaker's aunt selling cigarettes at age five in Vietnam—and to seize opportunity because others would trade lives for theirs. The tone is direct, emphatic, and encouraging.
If you're feeling sorry for yourself, Here's a story. My aunt in Vietnam at the age of five was selling cigarettes on the corners to make ends meet for her family. Is your life worse than that? Do you got a warm bed to sleep in at night? You got running water? You have a roof over your head? Well, it ain't that bad. So zoom out. Be fucking grateful for what you have because someone out there would trade their life for yours. So you are living somebody's dream. You're living the dream. Dream. Somebody out there is manifesting you and your life. So get after it. I believe in you.
