I'm all about people that appreciate, that are grateful, that

The words of Poppy Delevingne shine like a lantern in a world too often shadowed by pride and bitterness: “I'm all about people that appreciate, that are grateful, that smile, that have a sense of humour—the dirtier the laugh, the better—that's my kind of vibe... and I hope that's the kind of thing that I attract.” These are not idle words spoken in jest, but a declaration of what it means to live with a spirit of joy and gratitude, and to seek out kindred souls who carry the same light. In this quote we hear the ancient wisdom that like draws to like, that what we love and honor in others is what we summon into our own lives.

To value those who are grateful is to stand against the plague of entitlement. Gratitude is the root of joy, for it teaches the soul to see abundance where others see lack. A grateful heart smiles easily, finds humor in hardship, and walks lightly even upon heavy roads. Poppy’s words reveal a timeless truth: that it is not riches, not beauty, not power, but gratitude that makes companions truly radiant. In surrounding oneself with those who appreciate life’s gifts, one builds a circle where joy multiplies, and sorrow is diminished.

The mention of smile is no passing ornament. It is the simplest of gestures, yet it carries the force of the sun breaking through clouds. A smile binds people together, turning strangers into friends, friends into family. Ancient storytellers tell of the philosopher Democritus, known as “the laughing philosopher,” who taught that laughter was not folly but wisdom—that to smile at the absurdity of life is to accept it with grace. In the same way, Delevingne exalts the power of humor, even the dirty laugh, for such laughter springs from the depths of the belly, cleansing the soul of pretension and bringing forth honesty and connection.

Indeed, a sense of humour is a weapon as sharp as any sword, yet far more merciful. It disarms anger, humbles pride, and binds hearts with invisible threads. History tells of Abraham Lincoln, who, even in the midst of civil war, wielded jokes and stories to ease the burdens of his men and to unite them through the darkest nights. His humor was not frivolous but essential; it gave weary hearts the courage to continue. Likewise, Delevingne reminds us that laughter—especially shared laughter—is a form of resilience, a sign that the spirit has not been broken.

Her words also reveal the ancient law of attraction: what one values, one draws closer. If she seeks those who are grateful, joyful, and humorous, then it is such souls that she will naturally invite into her presence. This is not mere chance, but a truth that sages across ages have taught: the spirit attracts what it mirrors. To hope to draw such energy is to hope for a life filled not with hollow faces, but with companions of substance, laughter, and light.

The lesson for us is this: choose your vibe wisely. Do not surround yourself with those who complain endlessly, who frown at joy, who scorn gratitude. Instead, seek those who smile freely, who laugh even when life is hard, who appreciate the little blessings. For in their company you will find not only happiness but strength. Their energy will sharpen yours, and together you will become a chorus of joy against the sorrows of the world.

Therefore, let us act with intention. Begin each day with gratitude, so that your spirit shines. Share your smile freely, even with strangers. Laugh often and without shame, even at life’s messiness, even at its imperfections. In so doing, you will become like the companions you seek, and they will be drawn to you as stars gather to the night sky.

Carry with you always this teaching of Poppy Delevingne: “I'm all about people that appreciate, that are grateful, that smile, that have a sense of humour… and I hope that's the kind of thing that I attract.” Let it remind you that the truest wealth is not in gold or titles, but in the company you keep, the smiles you share, and the laughter that echoes long after the night has ended.
