Every day is a new day that starts a new week, month and year. Makin it one particular day and adding pressure to ending one year and starting another is out-dated.

David takes you through how your inner self reflects your outer self and that is where the change and resolution begin. Make the choice today and follow through every day.

628. Is being grateful and thankful the same thing? Yes and it's all about appreciation. And David proves it with a favorable eye.
You Just Have To Laugh – meets judgement with a favorable eye. Being both thankful and grateful are interchangeable with one another and are simply expressions of appreciation. Thankful is an expression of gratitude. Gratitude is the thought of appreciation. So let's flip that around. Gratitude is an expression of thankfulness. Thankfulness is the thought of appreciation. You humble host, David Naster, breaks this all down and looking at any situation with a favorable eye helps get through any negativity or unpleasantness.

Seeing can trick you. Your hearing can't, because hearing translates to thought. Seeing translates to a different filtering system. It can be deceiving, that's how magicians make a living. When we listen to each other and hear a truth, it resonates in our thinking - it permeates every fiber of our being. That is why listening commits more to the divine truth than seeing. That is why I don't have a visual podcast. Seeing disrupts truly listening.
