In this video we are going to be talking about the idea of synchronicity. There are important events in our lives that can sometimes go beyond cause and effect. The concept of synchronicity was first explained by Carl Jung stating that events are "meaningful coincidences".
Have you had any "meaningful coincidences" in your life? When you think back on those events, where did the experience take you?

In this video, I discuss one of the four pillars of gratitude which is courage.
We need the courage to change, to begin to do something different, as well as, reach out for the support to keep doing this new behavior. Having the courage to change the things we can change—invites us to take risks and courageously try to change even when the idea of change may cause us as feeling of unrest—which is not a feeling of serenity. As you watch the video, ask yourself: What obstacles have you faced in your life which you overcame by being courageous? Can you express gratitude for these moments of courage? |
AuthorLike millions of people in Twelve Step groups around the world, Mark T. Scannell has had an intimate relationship with the Serenity Prayer. A decades-long veteran Twelve Stepper and former Roman Catholic priest, Scannell explored the origins of the prayer that has been a staple in addiction recovery since the 1940s. From his own experience and taking a closer look at the prayer’s deeper history, he has come to believe that this age-old prayer has a vital missing element. In The Gratitude Element, Scannell invites readers to take a new look at an old prayer and see how giving thanks is a natural and essential ingredient in an appeal for serenity, courage, and wisdom.
