Towards the conclusion of the conversation, Brown introduces the idea of appreciation as not just a feeling towards others, but as a transformative force. He correlates appreciation with abundance: the more attention we give to what we value, the more we cultivate it in our lives. This principle aligns neatly with the notion that focusing on positives fosters greater fulfillment and connection to the universe.
He shares a personal resolution to limit exposure to negative news, framing appreciation as a tool for agency in one’s emotional environment. By discerning what we appreciate, we shape a reality that aligns with our well-being and emotional growth.
