00:01:02.810 --> 00:01:16.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: did you catch last week's show? You know the last 2 weeks were pre-recorded, I have to admit, because I was away on vacation, but last week's show with Christopher Bates that one is a really special show

00:01:25.410 --> 00:01:32.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: very sad to announce that my scheduled guest for today could not make it had a last minute issue.
00:01:32.709 --> 00:01:38.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So it's going to be just me here with you for the hour.
00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:39.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So we're going to have to switch our top
00:01:40.653 --> 00:01:48.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: however, you know I haven't done a well a couple of weeks. I haven't done a Me. Only show, but I don't have a Me only show for November, so
00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:54.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: this is our chance to chat. So, please, if you have questions, comments about my topic
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:59.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: which I'll introduce after my blog post, please chime in.
00:02:00.050 --> 00:02:02.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I would love the interaction. I'd love to know
00:02:03.510 --> 00:02:06.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how you're feeling, what you're doing, how things are going.
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So let's get started with our blog post from a couple of years ago.
00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:19.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and this one is entitled is an interesting one. Through gratitude
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:22.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we can go from pain to freedom.
00:02:23.410 --> 00:02:27.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gratitude is a very important to a powerful tool.
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It can help us to deal with some of the most difficult times.
00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:36.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: finding something to be grateful for can be a challenge.
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:42.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet when we do. We can transform almost anything in our lives.
00:02:42.940 --> 00:02:44.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: especially our trauma.
00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:50.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We may look back on our lives and see a lot of pain and suffering.
00:02:51.380 --> 00:02:54.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It can be hard to remember the good times
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:01.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we continually tell the story of our trauma. We keep feeding it
00:03:01.330 --> 00:03:02.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and keep it alive.
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We continue to blame others and ourselves.
00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:09.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we stay the victim.
00:03:10.190 --> 00:03:14.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The result is that we lose our agency and our power.
00:03:15.410 --> 00:03:20.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we decide that we've had enough of it, and we want to change the story.
00:03:21.160 --> 00:03:27.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then we can insert gratitude to create a whole new scenario.
00:03:28.160 --> 00:03:31.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What was once an experience of neglect
00:03:32.540 --> 00:03:36.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or pain can now be seen as an opportunity for freedom.
00:03:37.830 --> 00:03:43.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: An experience of pain can now be seen as the fire that forged our mettle.
00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:49.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The anguish of abuse can be turned into a gift of a lifelong calling
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:56.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in the Mo. In the moment. All of these are horrible and painful experiences.
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:01.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: With time and a shift of perspective.
00:04:01.660 --> 00:04:05.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we can undo the hold that they have on us.
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:13.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: By using gratitude to find a way to appreciate our life experiences.
00:04:13.830 --> 00:04:16.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we can completely flip
00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:18.229 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the story around.
00:04:19.890 --> 00:04:24.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We used to talk about how neglected we were as a child.
00:04:24.510 --> 00:04:27.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how we were left alone and not giving any guidance.
00:04:28.660 --> 00:04:33.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and how that experience made us feel unloved and unwanted
00:04:34.260 --> 00:04:37.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: by seeking for something to be grateful for.
00:04:37.870 --> 00:04:41.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can totally change that story.
00:04:43.010 --> 00:04:45.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our neglect turns into our freedom.
00:04:46.430 --> 00:04:50.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We are no longer left alone to fend for ourselves.
00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:56.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now we say that we are given so much freedom, so we could find ourselves.
00:04:57.320 --> 00:05:05.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The lack of guidance turns into an opportunity to discover for ourselves our own unique path.
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:14.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that feeling of being unloved and unwanted turns into a story of how much they loved us
00:05:15.320 --> 00:05:20.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so that they could allow us the freedom to find our own way.
00:05:21.910 --> 00:05:23.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now
00:05:23.070 --> 00:05:26.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we truly have something to be grateful for.
00:05:27.290 --> 00:05:33.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our story changes, and we no longer tell the tale of pain and neglect.
00:05:35.130 --> 00:05:37.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That story is now one of joy
00:05:38.550 --> 00:05:41.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we had to find ourselves.
00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:46.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and how grateful we are to have had that experience
00:05:48.550 --> 00:05:52.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just like that. Our whole world changes
00:05:52.560 --> 00:06:00.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with a simple shift in perspective and with an eye towards what we have to be grateful, for
00:06:00.810 --> 00:06:04.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we have reshaped our entire experience.
00:06:06.020 --> 00:06:13.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not in some ungrounded, whimsical way, but in a very real, very substantial way.
00:06:15.650 --> 00:06:20.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All it takes is seeing through the eyes of gratitude.
00:06:22.310 --> 00:06:31.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of being willing to consider that, regardless of how much pain and suffering we have endured, that there is something to be grateful for.
00:06:33.630 --> 00:06:38.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It may feel at times that there is nothing in our pain that we have to be grateful for.
00:06:40.150 --> 00:06:42.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that is okay for the moment
00:06:43.580 --> 00:06:47.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we are truly ready to give up our pain.
00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:51.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then we have the opportunity to start to change.
00:06:53.510 --> 00:06:56.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and in that special moment
00:06:56.530 --> 00:07:03.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we can at least try to see through the eyes of appreciation and gratitude.
00:07:05.430 --> 00:07:07.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Do you have a pain
00:07:07.710 --> 00:07:09.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you are tired of holding on to?
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Are you willing to see it through the eyes of gratitude.
00:07:17.220 --> 00:07:19.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I wrote this
00:07:20.140 --> 00:07:25.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: blog post a couple of years ago, I believe, around Thanksgiving time, you know, around this time of year.
00:07:29.250 --> 00:07:30.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I believe
00:07:31.180 --> 00:07:35.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't remember exactly, but I believe this was after
00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:38.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I had a ceremonial experience.
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and somebody asked me about
00:07:41.380 --> 00:07:43.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: sort of my
00:07:43.950 --> 00:07:47.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: my history, my childhood, and I and I
00:07:47.400 --> 00:07:49.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: spoke about how
00:07:50.930 --> 00:07:52.167 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know. I
00:07:54.580 --> 00:07:55.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know.
00:07:55.710 --> 00:08:04.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: didn't get much guidance. Didn't really have much of a role model. My father and and kind of felt alone on things, and they were like, Wow! So
00:08:05.230 --> 00:08:09.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: they gave you the opportunity to find it for yourselves. And I was like, oh.
00:08:13.090 --> 00:08:16.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that kind of shifted and changed things for me.
00:08:19.470 --> 00:08:20.857 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I know.
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:31.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, just just flipping and telling a different story from a different perspective. It doesn't always stick right away. We don't always feel it in our nervous system.
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: which is why we need to repeat it and
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:42.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and retell it and remind ourselves about it and really feel it for ourselves.
00:08:46.570 --> 00:08:48.345 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But it was almost like
00:08:50.110 --> 00:08:52.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: like someone turned a light on.
00:08:52.830 --> 00:08:55.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I didn't even realize the room was dark.
00:08:57.810 --> 00:09:00.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I was able to see things
00:09:01.930 --> 00:09:03.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in a way that
00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:07.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'd never really seen before.
00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:11.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that what had always been for me
00:09:11.660 --> 00:09:12.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:15.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a situation of neglect.
00:09:15.970 --> 00:09:19.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of feeling unloved and uncared for.
00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:24.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: actually gave me the room and the space
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be my own person.
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to find my own way.
00:09:30.610 --> 00:09:32.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to learn
00:09:33.280 --> 00:09:34.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how do
00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:37.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: go through things
00:09:38.770 --> 00:09:42.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: without a preconceived notion of who I am.
00:09:47.020 --> 00:09:49.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I never really
00:09:50.270 --> 00:09:52.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: thought of it that way, because
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I guess I'd always felt like.
00:09:57.730 --> 00:10:06.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, when I hear other people's story of their relationship with their parents. And you know the role models they had growing up.
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I felt like I never had that.
00:10:11.030 --> 00:10:13.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, we always tend to focus on what we didn't have.
00:10:15.780 --> 00:10:19.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and it felt like there was this emptiness. There was this gap.
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when this person kind of shifted my perspective.
00:10:27.490 --> 00:10:29.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I realized, Oh!
00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:31.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And that was also an opportunity
00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:36.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: like that was freedom that many people never had.
00:10:36.990 --> 00:10:41.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, some people have parents that are so strict and so
00:10:42.504 --> 00:10:48.029 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: on on top of them, and and and so like managing.
00:10:48.450 --> 00:10:53.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know every little thing that they do, and and and what they say, and
00:10:53.430 --> 00:10:54.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and
00:10:55.700 --> 00:10:57.843 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know it really
00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:01.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It never really dawned on me
00:11:02.550 --> 00:11:04.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that that gave me a certain
00:11:04.930 --> 00:11:07.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: internal freedom
00:11:09.010 --> 00:11:11.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and external freedom that that
00:11:11.730 --> 00:11:13.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: many people never had.
00:11:17.300 --> 00:11:20.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so it gave me an appreciation
00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:23.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for what
00:11:23.690 --> 00:11:26.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I went through, and how I went through it
00:11:28.670 --> 00:11:33.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and realized that wow, like, I actually did have
00:11:33.560 --> 00:11:35.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a lot of freedom
00:11:36.630 --> 00:11:40.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to form my own opinions, to form my own thoughts.
00:11:41.770 --> 00:11:44.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to find my own way through things.
00:11:51.380 --> 00:11:53.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And somehow.
00:11:53.710 --> 00:11:55.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just in that moment
00:11:57.300 --> 00:11:59.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when that sort of Aha!
00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:00.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: From that
00:12:02.750 --> 00:12:05.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: insight, from that recommendation.
00:12:08.550 --> 00:12:10.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it brought a sense of peace.
00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:15.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It brought a sense of
00:12:16.990 --> 00:12:20.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know what they may not have been doing that consciously.
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:28.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know I I used to say that just my parents were caught up in their own
00:12:28.430 --> 00:12:32.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: emotional stuff. So they were unavailable for me as a child.
00:12:37.050 --> 00:12:39.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so, yeah, maybe the that
00:12:44.170 --> 00:12:54.229 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: maybe that situation was not one that they planned. They said, Okay, let's let Sam go and do what he wants be what he wants. No, it wasn't necessarily conscious.
00:12:55.650 --> 00:12:57.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but on a soul level.
00:12:57.540 --> 00:12:59.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: on an energetic level.
00:13:04.940 --> 00:13:08.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Actually, in some ways it was perfect.
00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:16.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I realized that
00:13:17.890 --> 00:13:20.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when I can be grateful
00:13:22.260 --> 00:13:24.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for what I experienced.
00:13:25.190 --> 00:13:28.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even if it was painful, even if it was uncomfortable.
00:13:28.780 --> 00:13:32.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even if it was traumatic in some way
00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:37.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that that gratitude
00:13:38.920 --> 00:13:43.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for whatever aspect, for whatever perspective, for whatever little thing
00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:48.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I can find to be grateful for around the situation.
00:13:48.900 --> 00:13:50.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it lightens everything up
00:13:51.970 --> 00:13:52.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it.
00:13:55.770 --> 00:14:00.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it creates more room and more space for more possibilities.
00:14:02.400 --> 00:14:05.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so what brought me to a place of hmm!
00:14:07.590 --> 00:14:10.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Wonder where where else in my life
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:13.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that I
00:14:13.520 --> 00:14:17.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: don't like that? I don't tell a very supportive story about.
00:14:18.170 --> 00:14:21.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Where else can I be grateful for something
00:14:22.460 --> 00:14:25.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that maybe is a little challenging to be grateful for?
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And look, I've
00:14:28.570 --> 00:14:33.869 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I've had a lot of hard times in life. I mean, life is good right now for me. I have to admit that.
00:14:36.030 --> 00:14:39.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but it took a long time for me to be able to say that.
00:14:40.770 --> 00:14:42.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's not that.
00:14:42.260 --> 00:14:46.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Life was always hard. There were always moments of joy, of happiness.
00:14:51.530 --> 00:14:59.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I didn't feel it in my body that life was good for me, that I was really enjoying my life until recently.
00:15:02.030 --> 00:15:04.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so now I have this opportunity
00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:07.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to go back over
00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:09.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and look at my life.
00:15:12.160 --> 00:15:16.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and even when it didn't feel good, what was there to be grateful for?
00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:19.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: To just ask that question?
00:15:20.610 --> 00:15:24.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: In whatever situation? What was there to be grateful for
00:15:27.050 --> 00:15:29.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just asking that question alone
00:15:30.400 --> 00:15:32.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: makes such a huge difference.
00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:36.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when we ask that question.
00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:41.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we direct our mind to look for something
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be grateful for.
00:15:45.380 --> 00:15:46.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know what
00:15:46.890 --> 00:15:48.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we often find it
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:53.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so I guess
00:15:53.490 --> 00:15:57.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that would be my question to all of you, my loyal listeners for the week.
00:15:59.270 --> 00:16:04.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What pain, what trauma, what tragedy, what grief, what loss
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: have you experienced in your life
00:16:08.110 --> 00:16:09.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that you can ask.
00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:14.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what around it do I have to be grateful for.
00:16:15.570 --> 00:16:22.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What about it? Can I be grateful for? What aspect of this pain of this loss
00:16:23.210 --> 00:16:25.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: can I be grateful for?
00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:34.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And maybe the answer doesn't come up right away. These kinds of questions are the kinds of questions you just got to sit with.
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:37.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You just got to percolate with
00:16:37.800 --> 00:16:39.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you. Just gotta
00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:42.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: give space for and allow them to
00:16:42.830 --> 00:16:45.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: roll around inside your consciousness
00:16:48.190 --> 00:16:49.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and see what
00:16:50.230 --> 00:16:52.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what will rise up, what will come up for you.
00:16:56.510 --> 00:16:58.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then can take time.
00:16:59.380 --> 00:17:01.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's not that when we
00:17:01.610 --> 00:17:07.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: ask right away, what is there to be grateful for around this painful situation? That's like, Oh, yeah, it's obvious is this.
00:17:07.650 --> 00:17:09.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: no, sometimes takes a bit.
00:17:11.130 --> 00:17:15.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and sometimes we need help. Sometimes we need an outside source.
00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:21.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Someone else who can see things a little differently, who's not emotionally tied to our situations
00:17:22.190 --> 00:17:29.229 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we can say. You know, I'm trying to find something to be grateful for around this situation. I just can't. Can you help me with that?
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:37.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe when we engage a friend, maybe when we engage a mentor, an advisor, a coach, a
00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:39.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a life guide.
00:17:40.890 --> 00:17:42.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or an elder.
00:17:43.070 --> 00:17:44.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we just ask for their help.
00:17:46.470 --> 00:17:51.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe then we can find something to be grateful for around this situation.
00:17:55.210 --> 00:17:58.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and there are many things in my life many things
00:18:00.080 --> 00:18:03.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that have been challenging, difficult, even painful
00:18:04.050 --> 00:18:05.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: traumatic.
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that if I sit with it and I ask that question.
00:18:10.970 --> 00:18:14.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what do I have to be grateful for around this
00:18:16.930 --> 00:18:18.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: something comes up.
00:18:19.340 --> 00:18:23.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's much easier now than it would have been in the past to do that.
00:18:24.990 --> 00:18:28.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But the more I ask the question.
00:18:29.150 --> 00:18:34.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The more I get that to just be part of the way I see things.
00:18:34.820 --> 00:18:37.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the more it will bubble up.
00:18:38.150 --> 00:18:39.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and if it's
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:52.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: if it, if something comes up, and and it doesn't quite feel right or real. If I can't feel it in my body, then I keep looking for something else until I really hit it.
00:18:52.600 --> 00:18:55.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because sometimes the 1st thing that comes up
00:18:55.670 --> 00:18:57.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: isn't necessarily
00:18:58.280 --> 00:19:02.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the one that's truly in alignment for us is something truly that we can feel
00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:05.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so if we can't.
00:19:05.530 --> 00:19:09.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what's something else to be grateful for? What's something else to be grateful for?
00:19:10.230 --> 00:19:12.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when we hit that thing.
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we hit that thing that really resonates with us.
00:19:16.450 --> 00:19:23.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we'll feel it in our body. We'll feel it here in our heart. And then we know, okay, I really got it.
00:19:24.040 --> 00:19:31.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because if we don't really feel it, if it doesn't really resonate with us, then we're not really going to feel grateful. It's not really going to help.
00:19:33.300 --> 00:19:36.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So it's it's not always a process that
00:19:36.650 --> 00:19:40.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: happens instantaneously. It's not a change that happens overnight.
00:19:41.390 --> 00:19:44.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But it's a change that if we keep at it
00:19:44.330 --> 00:19:45.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: can happen.
00:19:47.860 --> 00:19:48.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Okay?
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:54.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So that's my blog post for this week. It's entitled
00:19:54.270 --> 00:19:58.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Through gratitude. We can go from pain to freedom.
00:19:58.500 --> 00:20:04.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And of course you can always find my blog post at my personally branded website, theconsciousconsultant.com

00:20:11.610 --> 00:20:15.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hope you enjoyed it, and if you liked it, of course you can always
00:20:15.320 --> 00:20:27.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: get a lot more of these insights from my book Everyday Awakening. You are more powerful than you know, and that's really what it's all about. It's about shifting perspectives on 126 different things
00:20:28.270 --> 00:20:31.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to help you to see that you are more powerful than you realize. All right.
00:20:32.330 --> 00:20:34.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So we're going to take a quick break.
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when we come back
00:20:35.820 --> 00:20:41.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we're going to start talking about our topic for this week, which is, what is luck?
00:20:42.030 --> 00:20:47.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Having just come back from Ireland, and people talk about the luck of the Irish all the time.
00:20:47.574 --> 00:20:52.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Let's talk about that. And I'm gonna talk about my experiences and what I
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: learned and experienced in Ireland.
00:20:57.010 --> 00:21:01.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and how that relates to this this idea we have known as luck
00:21:02.780 --> 00:21:05.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and some personal experiences where
00:21:06.390 --> 00:21:29.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I might think I'm lucky. And you might think that doesn't sound so lucky to me, Sam, but I'll tell you why I think it is so. Everybody, please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious, consultant hour awakening humanity. We do this every Thursday 12 noon to one Pm, eastern time. Right here on Talkradio, dot Nyc, all over social media and all over all the podcasting platforms. And we'll be right back
00:21:29.870 --> 00:21:32.699 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to continue our show in just a moment.
00:23:48.480 --> 00:24:07.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All right. Welcome back to the conscious, consultant hour awakening humanity. So I'm very sad that my scheduled guest, Christine Mcleave, could not make it. Today, we're going to all talk about sort of indigenous challenges and perspectives and
00:24:07.590 --> 00:24:13.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what the indigenous cultures contributed to the psychedelic movement
00:24:14.410 --> 00:24:16.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the need for recognition of that.
00:24:18.190 --> 00:24:19.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But unfortunately.
00:24:20.100 --> 00:24:26.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: again, going back to my blog post, I have to be grateful for the fact that she's given me an opportunity by not showing up today to talk about
00:24:26.850 --> 00:24:52.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: some stuff that recently happened and what I learned. And so I decided to talk about luck today, because, you know, we we all say good luck to each other. We all have this perspective. Oh, if I can just be a little more lucky, and that, you know, luck is what turns things around in our life, and that if we're lucky, like things go the way we want, and we'll have more money, better lovers, a happier life all this stuff.
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:59.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and you know there's this term, and I've heard it since I was a little kid about the luck of the Irish.
00:24:59.570 --> 00:25:01.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How the Irish are so lucky.
00:25:03.090 --> 00:25:13.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and you know I've known Irish people my whole life. The neighborhood I grew up in in the Bronx was a very Irish and Italian and Jewish neighborhood. So I had lots of Irish friends.
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I never really knew
00:25:18.040 --> 00:25:19.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what I'm
00:25:19.530 --> 00:25:21.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yeah. What was meant by the luck of the Irish.
00:25:21.890 --> 00:25:24.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know. I heard about kissing the Blarney stone and stuff.
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:42.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and so my wife and I decided to take a vacation. We didn't really go away during the summertime. So we took a little trip to Ireland. And why did we choose Ireland? No specific reason, except it was a short flight. It was a European country. It's close.
00:25:43.310 --> 00:25:47.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So we went for 2 weeks to Dublin, Galway, and Cork.
00:25:48.020 --> 00:25:50.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and we really had a wonderful time there.
00:25:51.260 --> 00:25:59.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and it's always so interesting, coming from the United States, where the country is relatively young that that
00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:01.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even though we've we've
00:26:03.088 --> 00:26:08.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, been around, you know a couple of 100 years. But, relatively speaking, we're not that old.
00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:19.229 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and when you go to a place like Ireland, where there are castles and ruins, and things have been around for hundreds and hundreds, even 1,000 years.
00:26:19.420 --> 00:26:23.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, gives you a different sense, a different perspective on things.
00:26:25.470 --> 00:26:31.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so one of the things that I heard over and over again on different you know.
00:26:31.850 --> 00:26:34.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: little tours, different places
00:26:35.070 --> 00:26:47.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was pretty much how the Normans, the British sort of conquered Ireland 800, over 800 years ago, and that Ireland was under British rule for 800 years.
00:26:48.110 --> 00:26:54.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it wasn't until the 19 twenties and the rebellion that that Southern Ireland found its freedom.
00:26:56.380 --> 00:26:59.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it really kind of struck me like
00:26:59.770 --> 00:27:03.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Irish people really haven't been that lucky
00:27:05.020 --> 00:27:11.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that they fought over and over and over again for their freedom, and kept getting defeated.
00:27:14.510 --> 00:27:15.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And
00:27:15.840 --> 00:27:17.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yet
00:27:17.910 --> 00:27:19.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and yet
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:25.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with all the pain they've endured, with all the the things they've experienced
00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:30.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when you talk to just the average Irishman
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:31.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: woman.
00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:38.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the cab driver, the the person at the pub sitting next to you, having a stout.
00:27:40.270 --> 00:27:48.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: they always have a joke at hand, a story to tell. There's a laugh there, there's always
00:27:48.840 --> 00:27:50.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: something
00:27:50.850 --> 00:27:52.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: there that that
00:27:54.340 --> 00:27:56.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that makes you feel like.
00:27:56.710 --> 00:27:59.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know they're they're glad to be alive.
00:28:03.690 --> 00:28:06.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I found it just quite interesting
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:16.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that even though the history of Ireland is filled with brutality and death.
00:28:18.010 --> 00:28:20.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that still, as a people.
00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:25.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There's such a joy in them.
00:28:25.910 --> 00:28:28.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There's a song in their heart.
00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:32.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There's always a chuckle to be had.
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:38.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So the luck of the Irish.
00:28:39.410 --> 00:28:41.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What is the luck of the Irish.
00:28:43.210 --> 00:28:45.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it kind of.
00:28:45.590 --> 00:28:50.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I guess, brought up for me this whole idea of you know what is luck.
00:28:51.140 --> 00:28:55.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know. People say we create our own luck. People say it's our vibration.
00:28:55.950 --> 00:28:59.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What? What is luck really all about?
00:29:02.320 --> 00:29:03.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And
00:29:03.650 --> 00:29:11.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then I had my own experience, and I'll I'll get into that after the break I had my own experience. That
00:29:12.100 --> 00:29:14.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: kind of helped me to
00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:20.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to really relate, and in some ways I feel this experience was very, very symbolic
00:29:21.340 --> 00:29:23.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of the luck of the Irish.
00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:27.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and even though there were things that that really made me
00:29:28.310 --> 00:29:29.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: kind of sad.
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:35.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I really so appreciate the spirit of the Irish people.
00:29:36.600 --> 00:29:48.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This is not to say they're perfect. This is not to say that they're always all wonderful, all great. You know. They're people like any other people. There's there's wonderful and not so wonderful aspects.
00:29:53.130 --> 00:29:55.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This idea of the luck of the Irish.
00:29:56.950 --> 00:29:58.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It just fascinates me.
00:29:59.610 --> 00:30:01.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so we're going to take a break
00:30:02.340 --> 00:30:03.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we come back.
00:30:04.810 --> 00:30:06.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're going to talk about
00:30:08.590 --> 00:30:11.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what was my experience with luck
00:30:14.150 --> 00:30:17.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and what really is luck? What is it all about.
00:30:19.180 --> 00:30:24.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What is it? What do we mean? Even when we use the word luck?
00:30:24.940 --> 00:30:26.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And we'll get into all of that
00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:28.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: right after this.
00:32:36.710 --> 00:32:44.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And welcome back to the conscious consultant our awakening humanity. And we're talking this week all about luck.
00:32:44.820 --> 00:32:49.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: luck of the Irish, and luck in general in my experiences in Ireland.
00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:51.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So
00:32:54.180 --> 00:32:57.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, I had this really interesting experience.
00:32:57.980 --> 00:33:00.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and to me it's so
00:33:00.860 --> 00:33:02.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: symbolic
00:33:02.780 --> 00:33:04.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I feel
00:33:04.270 --> 00:33:06.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of the luck of the Irish
00:33:09.190 --> 00:33:18.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because one thing that I I learned in in seeing some of the different sites, and going into some different cathedrals and churches and tours and stuff.
00:33:21.130 --> 00:33:25.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know that the Ireland has always been very traditionally and and a Catholic
00:33:25.890 --> 00:33:27.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: country since since
00:33:27.930 --> 00:33:29.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Catholicism came there
00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:31.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then.
00:33:31.690 --> 00:33:33.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Protestant
00:33:33.660 --> 00:33:37.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: dominated England came in, and and the Protestants and the
00:33:37.340 --> 00:33:40.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Catholics fought fiercely, and
00:33:41.530 --> 00:33:43.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and to me it was such a
00:33:44.190 --> 00:33:46.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a sad thing
00:33:46.950 --> 00:33:48.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that a
00:33:48.710 --> 00:33:50.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: religion
00:33:50.420 --> 00:33:53.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: by someone who is absolutely a peace advocate
00:33:54.360 --> 00:34:01.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was twisted and turned. That literally 2 different sects of the exact same religion are killing each other
00:34:02.020 --> 00:34:04.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because they believe things a little differently.
00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:08.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so, with all this
00:34:09.010 --> 00:34:15.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: death and destruction and enslavement that happened over the centuries.
00:34:16.230 --> 00:34:19.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how could the Irish still be so happy-go-lucky in a way?
00:34:22.270 --> 00:34:23.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So
00:34:25.610 --> 00:34:27.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: one of the last
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:32.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: places I got to visit while I was in Ireland was the Blarney Castle.
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:36.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the Blarney Castle is famous, because
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:42.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in the castle there is a stone which there is this myth around, called the Blarney Stone.
00:34:43.510 --> 00:34:45.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: which there's this whole.
00:34:46.489 --> 00:34:51.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a mythology around where it came from, what it is
00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:56.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but the myth that has been going on for for
00:34:56.550 --> 00:34:58.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: centuries probably is.
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:04.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When you kiss the Blarney Stone you'll have the gift of blarney, the gift of gap, and it's.
00:35:04.770 --> 00:35:07.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, kind of a quote unquote lucky thing
00:35:08.140 --> 00:35:17.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to get there and do it. And and in order to kiss the Blarney Stone, it's really interesting. It's at a very high point in the castle you got to like. Walk up.
00:35:17.370 --> 00:35:19.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but then it's like down.
00:35:19.850 --> 00:35:36.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So you have to actually lie down, bend backwards, bend all the way back, and allow yourself to go down to kiss it. And there are a couple of guys there, and they're holding on to you to make sure you don't fall into these 2 big metal rails that you hold on to with your arms.
00:35:38.100 --> 00:36:01.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so it's a little uncomfortable to do, and it looks a little scary to do it. But it's not that bad. I did it, and it was interesting because I was standing there waiting for my wife. My wife didn't do it, and there were other people, other couples I saw there where one person would do it, and the other person wouldn't. And there was this one woman who did it in front of me. She said. I did this 20 years ago. I'm going to do it again.
00:36:02.770 --> 00:36:03.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and
00:36:05.950 --> 00:36:07.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I I
00:36:07.820 --> 00:36:12.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I went and I did it. And then and then, after we did that
00:36:14.090 --> 00:36:20.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we were walking around the grounds, and there are these beautiful, beautiful grounds around the Blarney Castle.
00:36:21.590 --> 00:36:26.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and there were some spots on it very ancient.
00:36:26.781 --> 00:36:30.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There there were these, these stones that were
00:36:30.690 --> 00:36:32.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: ancient, that were.
00:36:32.890 --> 00:36:42.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, kind of from pre-written history. There were were areas that they said were were Druidic
00:36:42.590 --> 00:36:49.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and pagan circle and altar and all kinds of stuff.
00:36:49.540 --> 00:36:53.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and there was a fairy garden and all kinds of things.
00:36:56.750 --> 00:37:08.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and you know it's October. And so it was fall, and so leaves are changing color. There were some beautiful trees there. And so we're walking around this this ancient area.
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:26.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and and there's like this path that goes like underneath a tree, and you bend down a little bit, and so I go around and I turn around. I come back, and I see beautiful red leaves, and it just looked gorgeous, and I wanted to get a picture of it. So I turn around. I get out my phone and I'm going to take a picture.
00:37:27.310 --> 00:37:28.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I step back
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:33.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to to get a slightly wider perspective.
00:37:34.270 --> 00:37:36.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and my foot hits a stone.
00:37:36.740 --> 00:37:50.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and my right leg goes out, and I try and steady myself on my left leg. And then, because there are all these leaves on the ground, it's a little moist. My left leg goes out from underneath me.
00:37:50.640 --> 00:37:52.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I just
00:37:52.820 --> 00:37:55.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: fall down right on my left butt.
00:37:58.560 --> 00:38:05.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and there was that moment when I was falling I was completely out of control, and I was just going down.
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:11.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I hadn't had that experience since I was a kid in 5th grade
00:38:11.930 --> 00:38:17.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when some kid pushed me and I tripped over a tree stump, and I fell down, and I fractured my right wrist.
00:38:20.340 --> 00:38:21.906 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I fell down, and
00:38:22.390 --> 00:38:23.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: thankfully
00:38:23.970 --> 00:38:25.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I didn't break anything.
00:38:26.110 --> 00:38:31.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I just got a very bruised left cheek, butt and thigh.
00:38:32.610 --> 00:38:38.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and I got up, and and I was fine. I was just shaken by, you know. It was kind of like a physical shock
00:38:38.640 --> 00:38:40.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to the nervous system.
00:38:43.040 --> 00:38:48.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so later that day, you know, my wife and I were talking about it, and
00:38:48.680 --> 00:38:51.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: as as we tend to talk about everything.
00:38:55.140 --> 00:38:56.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And
00:38:58.160 --> 00:39:00.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know I realized well with.
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, fairies, they they can be tricksters. They kind of do things
00:39:05.430 --> 00:39:07.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to kind of fool you.
00:39:08.530 --> 00:39:15.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and so my imagination, my hallucination, is, you know, the fairies tripped me, but but by by doing that.
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:18.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and so I fell.
00:39:19.510 --> 00:39:25.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I got hurt, but I didn't get really hurt, and it could have been much, much worse.
00:39:25.270 --> 00:39:35.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know. I could have broken a bone. I could have ended up in the hospital and and to end up in that situation when you're on vacation. You know it's just awful.
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:37.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I did it.
00:39:39.120 --> 00:39:41.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I fell down, and I was able to get back up.
00:39:42.540 --> 00:39:48.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it gave me an opportunity to think about that incident when I was a kid, and breaking my wrist
00:39:51.650 --> 00:39:54.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to kind of relate to that and and
00:39:55.130 --> 00:39:58.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: process that a little bit more and process what I
00:39:58.220 --> 00:39:59.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: experienced.
00:40:02.190 --> 00:40:03.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we talked about
00:40:04.600 --> 00:40:06.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how lucky was, I
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: cause it could have been so much worse
00:40:11.640 --> 00:40:14.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that people, when they have falls like that.
00:40:14.660 --> 00:40:15.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: can break a hip.
00:40:16.550 --> 00:40:20.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It can be in a lot of pain. I mean, I was sore for a few days.
00:40:20.990 --> 00:40:22.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but not that bad.
00:40:25.170 --> 00:40:26.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And
00:40:27.790 --> 00:40:31.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: looking back now and reflecting on it.
00:40:31.690 --> 00:40:33.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know I was saying, oh, I'm so lucky.
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:39.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, that I didn't get more hurt. And what an opportunity
00:40:39.780 --> 00:40:46.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to relive that experience to bring up to my consciousness this childhood experience that I could
00:40:46.770 --> 00:40:49.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: process that and be more aware of it.
00:40:52.210 --> 00:40:54.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And in talking now about
00:40:59.290 --> 00:41:01.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the luck of the Irish.
00:41:01.680 --> 00:41:08.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it was funny, because this was, you know, maybe an hour less than an hour after I kissed the Blarney Stone.
00:41:10.510 --> 00:41:11.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That isn't that
00:41:12.270 --> 00:41:13.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: symbolic
00:41:13.790 --> 00:41:15.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of the luck of the Irish.
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:19.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They got conquered, they fell down, they experienced trauma.
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:21.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and they got back. Up.
00:41:21.970 --> 00:41:24.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we fall down and we get back, up.
00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:27.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We experience pain and we heal.
00:41:28.830 --> 00:41:32.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We experience trauma, and we process through it.
00:41:38.190 --> 00:41:40.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So the luck of the Irish is.
00:41:40.850 --> 00:41:42.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: they're still here.
00:41:43.740 --> 00:41:47.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is they still have life in their veins
00:41:50.130 --> 00:41:52.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that there's still very much
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:55.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a beautiful place named Ireland.
00:41:56.750 --> 00:42:00.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with all its traditions and mythologies and
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:01.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: culture.
00:42:06.790 --> 00:42:08.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The luck
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:10.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: does not mean
00:42:11.730 --> 00:42:14.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that challenging things don't happen to us
00:42:16.330 --> 00:42:18.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: as long as we're alive
00:42:19.370 --> 00:42:24.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we will face challenges, different kinds of challenges. But we're going to face challenges.
00:42:30.310 --> 00:42:31.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The luck is.
00:42:31.740 --> 00:42:33.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what do we do with those challenges?
00:42:35.180 --> 00:42:36.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: With how we perceive them
00:42:39.670 --> 00:42:42.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with, how is my blog post talks about?
00:42:43.300 --> 00:42:46.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How can we find something to be grateful for
00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:48.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in that challenge?
00:42:50.810 --> 00:42:53.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now, now, look, I'm I'm not saying that
00:42:54.320 --> 00:43:01.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know it didn't hurt, and that it didn't put me into a bad mood for a little while. It absolutely did.
00:43:06.910 --> 00:43:08.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but I can be grateful
00:43:09.730 --> 00:43:11.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that it wasn't much worse.
00:43:12.850 --> 00:43:14.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that I can be grateful
00:43:16.730 --> 00:43:18.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that I'm still here.
00:43:19.850 --> 00:43:20.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that
00:43:20.940 --> 00:43:23.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm basically okay.
00:43:24.470 --> 00:43:26.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that even though
00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:29.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I was out of control when I was falling.
00:43:32.430 --> 00:43:38.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that maybe the fairies, even though they tricked me, and they tripped me that they made sure I
00:43:38.300 --> 00:43:40.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: didn't get too injured.
00:43:44.230 --> 00:43:47.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I say this kind of tongue in cheek.
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:53.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So the luck of the Irish!
00:43:54.530 --> 00:43:58.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's not the kind of luck we think about
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:01.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we think about. Oh, I found a
00:44:01.330 --> 00:44:03.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: $20 bill on the sidewalk today.
00:44:04.690 --> 00:44:06.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's a different kind of luck.
00:44:07.630 --> 00:44:11.510 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe it's a very different perspective on luck.
00:44:16.510 --> 00:44:18.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So what is luck?
00:44:20.470 --> 00:44:22.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What really is luck?
00:44:25.100 --> 00:44:26.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Well, you know what
00:44:26.700 --> 00:44:30.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm gonna talk about, that, what exactly it is
00:44:30.420 --> 00:44:33.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: after we come back from this last break.
00:44:34.590 --> 00:44:40.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So just a reminder. You are listening to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity.
00:44:42.300 --> 00:44:47.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we will be right back to talk about what is luck in just a moment.
00:46:55.130 --> 00:46:55.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So
00:46:56.050 --> 00:47:06.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we've been speaking this hour all about luck. What is luck? And and we started off with my blog post, talking about using gratitude to get from pain to freedom.
00:47:07.980 --> 00:47:10.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so we talk about luck.
00:47:11.460 --> 00:47:13.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What is luck, really
00:47:16.990 --> 00:47:22.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: luck? When we really look at what people mean when they say luck.
00:47:23.340 --> 00:47:30.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's really that that surprise, coincidence, that that amazing thing that happens
00:47:31.010 --> 00:47:32.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when least expected.
00:47:34.530 --> 00:47:37.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: In other words, it's some serendipitous
00:47:37.780 --> 00:47:40.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: event that happens
00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:46.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so to me luck.
00:47:48.010 --> 00:47:50.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We may view it as something
00:47:51.270 --> 00:47:57.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: amazing, a miracle, or or just that things work out well for someone.
00:47:59.940 --> 00:48:04.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But to me luck is about the perspective we bring to life.
00:48:06.160 --> 00:48:11.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because most people who tripped and fell during a vacation would not consider that lucky.
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:15.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I consider it lucky.
00:48:21.670 --> 00:48:29.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and even the days when we were there, and there were a couple of days when we had pretty good weather, but there were a couple of days where it would rain a good part of the day.
00:48:30.370 --> 00:48:38.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we just didn't feel like going out and doing anything, and it was great because it gave us an opportunity to relax, to rest, to not do anything
00:48:38.210 --> 00:48:39.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that was lucky.
00:48:44.090 --> 00:48:46.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and even all the pain
00:48:46.790 --> 00:48:48.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and challenges
00:48:48.610 --> 00:48:53.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I've experienced as a child and growing up, and even as an adult.
00:48:55.510 --> 00:48:57.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Those are pretty lucky, too.
00:48:58.780 --> 00:49:01.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They're lucky, not because
00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:04.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I ever wanted to experience those things.
00:49:05.070 --> 00:49:07.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That's not the way I wanted my life to go.
00:49:10.080 --> 00:49:19.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but I'm lucky, because I've learned from all of them that each of those experiences made me stronger made me wiser, made me
00:49:19.600 --> 00:49:24.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: able to appreciate the good stuff that much more.
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:30.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So when something serendipitous happens.
00:49:31.630 --> 00:49:36.229 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or when something unexpected. That's not serendipitous happens.
00:49:36.610 --> 00:49:40.999 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's lucky it's just often we don't see the luck in the moment.
00:49:42.290 --> 00:49:45.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, of course, we find a $20 bill on the ground
00:49:45.580 --> 00:49:47.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in the moment we say, Yeah, that's lucky.
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:57.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But sometimes maybe we're running late, and we get in our car, and we're driving down the highway.
00:49:57.680 --> 00:50:06.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and we're all anxious and nervous because we're late to a meeting or to meet someone or whatever, and then we pass by a really bad accident on the road.
00:50:06.990 --> 00:50:09.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: which, if we had been on time.
00:50:10.210 --> 00:50:12.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we could have been involved in that accident.
00:50:14.200 --> 00:50:15.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sometimes luck.
00:50:16.130 --> 00:50:19.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We don't even know how lucky we are
00:50:20.810 --> 00:50:22.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we avoided something
00:50:23.740 --> 00:50:25.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that life
00:50:25.490 --> 00:50:29.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: allowed us to be late allowed us to
00:50:29.220 --> 00:50:34.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not do a usual thing or not do what we're planning on, and it turned out to be lucky.
00:50:36.810 --> 00:50:40.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now look, are there some things so horrendous, so
00:50:40.850 --> 00:50:43.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: horrible that there's nothing
00:50:43.910 --> 00:50:46.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be grateful for, nothing to feel lucky about.
00:50:47.610 --> 00:50:49.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, I'm pretty sure there are.
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:55.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But that's not what we talk about. When we talk about luck.
00:50:58.600 --> 00:51:02.029 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, we tend to think of luck as as like
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:04.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: something miraculous.
00:51:06.550 --> 00:51:09.749 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But it's really all about our perspective on it.
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:17.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And sometimes someone can look very lucky and looks like they have a charmed life
00:51:18.680 --> 00:51:31.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from the outside, and we have no idea that on the inside they're depressed. They're they're in anguish that they're suffering, and we have no clue until they commit suicide, which happened to a very good friend of mine.
00:51:34.040 --> 00:51:37.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Luck is not about the external appearance.
00:51:38.780 --> 00:51:41.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Luck is about what we make of it.
00:51:44.190 --> 00:51:46.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So, as I've mentioned before the Irish.
00:51:47.020 --> 00:51:53.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: they suffered for centuries. For centuries they suffered.
00:51:54.960 --> 00:51:57.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: they did not have their freedom.
00:51:58.170 --> 00:52:00.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It took over 800 years
00:52:00.900 --> 00:52:02.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for them to find their freedom.
00:52:03.880 --> 00:52:05.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Would you consider that? Lucky?
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:08.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't know.
00:52:11.210 --> 00:52:12.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But when
00:52:14.110 --> 00:52:15.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you hear that
00:52:16.490 --> 00:52:23.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: giggle in their voice when you you listen to them, tell a story to make you chuckle a little bit
00:52:24.340 --> 00:52:25.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when you see there
00:52:26.600 --> 00:52:27.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: general
00:52:28.080 --> 00:52:31.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: posture towards life and their joy.
00:52:33.410 --> 00:52:37.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, I would say, it's pretty lucky to have that kind of a
00:52:38.450 --> 00:52:39.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: attitude
00:52:40.290 --> 00:52:41.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: towards life.
00:52:46.710 --> 00:52:49.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so we all can be lucky.
00:52:50.570 --> 00:52:54.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's a question of whether we decide to see our life
00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:56.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: as a lucky life or not?
00:52:58.150 --> 00:52:59.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Do we look for
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:02.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what? To be grateful for
00:53:03.490 --> 00:53:07.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in any moment, in any situation.
00:53:11.740 --> 00:53:13.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Can you find the gratitude
00:53:15.050 --> 00:53:18.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in the most challenging aspects of life?
00:53:22.250 --> 00:53:25.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we can be grateful for
00:53:28.270 --> 00:53:31.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even the most painful of experiences?
00:53:32.950 --> 00:53:34.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we fall down.
00:53:36.410 --> 00:53:38.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can be grateful for it.
00:53:41.740 --> 00:53:43.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then maybe we're truly lucky.
00:53:47.490 --> 00:53:51.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Me tripping, falling down on the grounds of the Blarney Castle, hey?
00:53:52.910 --> 00:53:59.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Who knew my guest wouldn't be able to make it today. It gave me something to talk about and relate.
00:54:02.410 --> 00:54:05.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so maybe it was really lucky.
00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:07.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I tripped and fell
00:54:08.350 --> 00:54:12.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so that we could talk about this during my show.
00:54:15.710 --> 00:54:20.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So yeah, maybe you don't feel so lucky at the moment, because you're struggling with something.
00:54:23.720 --> 00:54:25.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so my
00:54:27.380 --> 00:54:28.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: invitation
00:54:29.430 --> 00:54:30.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for you
00:54:31.120 --> 00:54:32.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for this coming week.
00:54:33.610 --> 00:54:35.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to look at those
00:54:35.600 --> 00:54:37.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: difficult times in life.
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:42.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to look at those things that you typically
00:54:43.240 --> 00:54:45.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: look back on
00:54:48.950 --> 00:54:53.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and look back on them with some disdain, or with some
00:54:55.460 --> 00:54:56.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: painful
00:54:57.250 --> 00:54:59.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: memories associated with them.
00:55:00.750 --> 00:55:04.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And see, is there not something to be grateful for around it?
00:55:05.260 --> 00:55:07.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And through that gratitude
00:55:08.790 --> 00:55:10.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: create some luck
00:55:10.600 --> 00:55:11.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for yourself.
00:55:13.010 --> 00:55:17.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and maybe that luck is luck you've already experienced in your life
00:55:18.670 --> 00:55:21.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: those unknown accidents that you avoided
00:55:22.160 --> 00:55:28.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: those opportunities for growth that made you who you are today?
00:55:30.360 --> 00:55:34.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And isn't that something to be grateful for?
00:55:34.330 --> 00:55:36.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Are you not lucky
00:55:37.350 --> 00:55:41.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be the person you are today?
00:55:43.900 --> 00:55:46.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe luck is just the recognition
00:55:47.700 --> 00:55:49.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that life is perfect.
00:55:50.660 --> 00:55:52.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even when it doesn't feel like it.
00:55:53.310 --> 00:55:57.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: even when it's at its most painful and most
00:55:59.740 --> 00:56:00.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: pressing.
00:56:03.620 --> 00:56:06.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then maybe life is still perfect.
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:08.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and luck
00:56:08.830 --> 00:56:11.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is seeing that perfection
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:15.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: where we didn't think there was perfection.
00:56:17.500 --> 00:56:21.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe luck is something beyond our ego.
00:56:21.680 --> 00:56:23.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: beyond our desires.
00:56:25.620 --> 00:56:27.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: beyond
00:56:28.340 --> 00:56:29.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our comfort.
00:56:31.770 --> 00:56:33.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe luck
00:56:34.260 --> 00:56:35.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is life
00:56:36.330 --> 00:56:37.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: showing us
00:56:40.530 --> 00:56:46.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we can be grateful just for being alive.
00:56:46.870 --> 00:56:50.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and if we can be grateful for just being alive.
00:56:51.030 --> 00:56:52.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: are we not
00:56:53.160 --> 00:56:54.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: lucky, indeed?
00:56:57.080 --> 00:57:00.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Thank you all for joining me this week?
