@camslifeofgratitude: Sometimes the thing that saves you isn't someone else showing up. It's you, finally showing up for yourself. We stopped a woman named on the street and asked what she's grateful for. Her answer: love itself, and just the opportunity to live. Then we asked if she'd ever had a hard moment that made her appreciate life more. She said she's been down and out so many times, but there was one point where she genuinely didn't think she was going to make it. No job. In the middle of moving. Completely in transition. What stuck with us wasn't the low point. It was what she did instead of waiting for it to pass. She went inward. Loved herself. Forgave herself for even being there. Her advice for anyone who feels hopeless: let go of the hopelessness itself. We asked what message she'd give her younger self. She didn't hesitate. "It's okay. I love you. You'll get here." 34 years old, and she still remembers exactly what she needed to hear. #hopeful #gratitude #foryou
