It can be so easy to dismiss all of the amazing things we have to be grateful for in life. This is especially true during difficult times, of course. But it can also be difficult when we face smaller, daily struggles. For example, we can get easily frustrated by inconveniences like traffic making us late or having to wake up earlier than we want for work.

While it’s totally valid to feel upset at times, it’s also important to make sure negativity doesn’t take over our lives.

This simple moment gave him the reminder he needed to shift his perspective. Now, he’s sharing that outlook on life with others online. So, if you’re needing a pep talk yourself, check out the video below!

In Yoki’s video, he admits he was feeling upset about oversleeping — and the way this would change his entire day. Still, he took a moment to remember what a blessing it is to be alive. In doing so, many of the joys we take for granted in life suddenly became something to be grateful for again. How cool is that!?
Yoki’s struggle is one that resonates with so many of us. As a result, his message of finding joy in the little things is also having a positive impact on the many people who have come across his video.
“Thank you for reminding me to enter everything with gratitude,” someone in the comments shares, with another adding, “I appreciate you Yoki. Thank you for always being bright, & sharing your positivity. Despite the world not being a perfect place, you still inspire me to be positive as well. I love you. Keep going.”
