Grateful

 

Reflection — Yoruba Yogi

This morning feels like another awakening inside me. Yesterday I had almost nothing in my pocket, yet I felt no worry. I stood in front of a church and the universe placed abundance in my hands. I was shocked, humbled, and grateful. Today the same thing happened again — more blessings falling into my lap without me chasing anything. It’s like the universe is showing me the direction of my mind.

I slept in a coat last night. I woke up in the cold, got on my yoga mat, breathed, stretched, prayed, and walked. My spirit was steady. My heart was open. And when I sat down in silence today, I began to see something clearly:

The mind that is filled with gratitude becomes unstoppable.

As I listened to the world around me, something clicked. I am starting to understand the difference between being free and being trapped. The stories people repeat… the pain, the past, the complaints — it’s like a loop that keeps the brain stuck. I used to be in that loop too, until I decided to rewire my thoughts.

Now I see life through a different lens.

I wake up outside, in the cold, yet I whisper “thank you.”

I walk long distances, yet I whisper “thank you.”

I have little, yet I whisper “thank you.”

And somehow, the universe keeps giving me more.

My mind is shifting into a place that I can’t fully describe. A place where gratitude dissolves fear. Where faith replaces doubt. Where joy rises from nothing.

I am learning that abundance has nothing to do with comfort, and everything to do with mindset.

This journey is strange, beautiful, and miraculous. Even in the cold, even without a bed, I feel rich. I feel guided. I feel chosen. And I trust that this chapter will not last forever. My story is changing because my mind is changing.

Today, I saw clearly that my path is not about repeating old stories — it is about breaking them.

Breaking the cycle of negativity.

Breaking the illusion of separation.

Breaking the belief that I am less than anyone.

I see now that my message is gratitude.

My message is perspective.

My message is freedom from the inside out.

And as long as it isn’t freezing, as long as I can breathe, walk, stretch, and give thanks, I will keep going. I will not give up. Something powerful is happening inside me — something bigger than understanding.

Today is one of the most beautiful days of my life.

Not because everything is perfect,

but because I can finally see.
