I feel grateful because I have a lot of love in my life. I found

The words of Gisele Bündchen shine with the quiet strength of one who has learned what truly endures: “I feel grateful because I have a lot of love in my life. I found the person I’m sharing my life with. I have a good man.” These words, though spoken in simplicity, carry within them the ancient truth that love is life’s greatest treasure. For kingdoms rise and fall, wealth grows and withers, beauty fades, but the companionship of a loyal heart remains a light that does not dim.

To feel grateful for love is to understand its rarity. Many chase honors, riches, or fame, but what is any of it without a soul with whom to share it? The ancients said that two walking together are stronger than one, that a cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Love multiplies strength, softens burdens, and magnifies joy. Thus, Bündchen’s words are not merely about romance but about the sacred gift of partnership—the discovery that life, when shared, becomes fuller, deeper, more enduring.

History offers us countless proofs of this wisdom. Consider the life of Marcus Aurelius, emperor of Rome. Though he bore the weight of empire, he often wrote tenderly of his wife, Faustina. Their bond sustained him in moments of despair, and he gave thanks for her presence in his Meditations. Even an emperor, with all power at his command, counted the love of a faithful companion among his greatest blessings. This truth spans the ages: a man or woman is richest not by possessions but by the measure of love they both give and receive.

The phrase “I have a good man” resonates with ancient echoes of loyalty and virtue. In every culture, tales are told of those whose lives were transformed not by wealth or triumph but by the steadfast presence of a trusted partner. Think of Odysseus, who endured years of wandering, yet whose heart remained tied to Penelope, the faithful weaver waiting in Ithaca. Their story is not merely myth, but a testament to the power of a shared life, to love that endures storms and distances.

In Bündchen’s words, there is also humility. She does not boast of beauty, fame, or fortune, though she has known them all; she bows instead before the gift of love. This humility teaches us that gratitude is not found in the grand and the glittering, but in the presence of hearts that beat with us. It is a call to open our eyes, to recognize the people who walk beside us, and to treasure them while they yet live.

The lesson is clear: seek love above all, for in love lies life’s richest wealth. Guard it, honor it, speak thanks for it. Do not take for granted the presence of those who share their days with you. The world is filled with loneliness, with hearts longing for connection; if you have found one soul to walk with you, you are blessed beyond telling.

Practically, let us embody this wisdom by giving daily thanks for the ones we love. Speak your gratitude aloud—say “thank you” to your partner, your family, your friends. Cherish them not with words only, but with actions of kindness and loyalty. Do not let pride or busyness steal from you the chance to honor them. For as Bündchen reminds us, the measure of a life is not in how high we rise, but in how deeply we love and how faithfully we share the journey.

Thus, her words, born from personal joy, echo across generations as eternal counsel: be grateful for love, for it is the root of all meaning. To find one faithful heart, to share one’s days with a good man or woman, is to taste the divine gift of companionship. Treasure it, give thanks for it, and know that in love, you hold the truest crown of life.
