Exclusive Interview
Grateful, Poet, Filmmaker
Prince Ea gets gratitude! At the time of this interview, he was a 27-year-old poet, filmmaker, and speaker with a passion for motivating people to live their dreams through self-development and education. The number of people who had viewed his videos was pushing 1 billion, and after watching his work, you will know why. His poetry is engaging, powerful, and honest.
Prince had almost 5,000,000 Facebook followers, making him GratitudeSpace’s biggest social-network reach through gratitude to date. I want to personally thank SJ, Prince’s assistant, and Prince Ea for this exclusive interview.
Prince Ea — “Why Are We So Ungrateful?”

“It means seeing the world clearly. Recognizing the gift of ‘being.’”
02
Right now, in this moment, what are 3 things you are grateful for?

Prince Ea — “Can We Auto-Correct Humanity?”
03
Could you share a struggle you had in the past 12 months that you are now grateful for?
Nothing is coming to mind. I am sure I have had moments of struggle, but I haven’t built a story around it, so I cannot recall anything at this moment. Only gratitude.
“Only gratitude.”
04
You inspire, motivate, and challenge millions of people through your poetry and filmmaking. Who inspired you? Who does Prince Ea call his mentor?
People who can see Love everywhere inspire me. People like Mooji, Ramana Maharshi, and Nisargadatta Maharaj.
“People who can see Love everywhere inspire me.”
Prince Ea — “Dear Future Generations: Sorry”
05
What is one suggestion you could give to our audience that can help them incorporate gratitude into their daily lives?
Simply find time to pause in your daily life. In the car, at work, on the bus, at home, stop for a few seconds or minutes every now and then and say, “Thank you for this breath. Thank you for my senses. Thank you for those who love me. Thank you for my struggles because they teach me. Thank you for my mind. Thank you for being able to say thank you.” Feel the gratitude deeply when you do this practice.
“Thank you for being able to say thank you.”
