As your quick brain challenge,
your quick challenge, if you will,
image this:
image you have a thought experiment,
where you did this every single day,
at your willing,
what if the only things in your life
tomorrow are the things you express
gratitude for today?
Let me say that again.
What if the only things in your life you had,
the people, the opportunities, the resources,
the objects, all the things.
What if the only thing you kept tomorrow
are the things you expressed gratitude for today?
Would you live differently?
Of course!
We'd all would
And how does it feel to feel grateful?
It's amazing, right? Because somebody can have everything
and not appreciate it and it feels
like they have nothing.
But somebody could have very little resources,
but they feel so grateful and appreciative.
They like have everything, all right?
And so, what I want you to do as part of
your challenge today is to express
your gratitude in one of two ways.
You could express it with people around you.
And that's wonderful!
Talk to your family. Talk to your friends.
Express gratitude for the person that lives
or delivers your mail or wherever you are,
Express gratitude for them!
And, or, express gratitude in a journal.
A lot of people, they like to express gratitude by
writing things down.
So verbally is great but also writing
things down kinesthetically. There is something about putting pen to paper
and to be able to see all those things.
Some people, what they 'll do is they'll write down
in their notecard one thing
they're grateful for that day.
And they'll put it in a fishbowl
and then, at the of like 365 days after a year,
they just go and read all those things.
And I have been just get goosebumps thinking about that!
I call them "truth bumps".
But it just ... How do you come alive that way!
And so, my challenge for you today,
is you deserve to feel like you have
more than you think you have!
If you want to feel truly wealthy,
Count all of the things you have in
your life that money cannot buy!
Count!
Just write down in your gratitude journal
or notebook all of the things you have in
your life that you wouldn't give away
for any amount of money.
All right?
And then you could be able to feel what
it really feels like to feel truly wealthy.
Because you have, we have, more than we think we have.
Even through the challenges!
Even I've learned through my challenges of learning
my challenges of public speaking that
sometimes there's a gift in it
and if you start to train
yourself to look forward,
what we look for we find, right?
You know this!
Is like if you just see a yellow car,
you star to see yellow cars everywhere
because it becomes important to you.
What if you start asking yourself:
What do I feel most grateful for?
You start seeing that.
And your focus goes, your energy flows!
And you start having more of that!
What if you start looking
for opportunity more?
A lot of people are really good
at seeing the negative.
Do you know somebody like this?
Maybe somebody? Too personally?
Where they're really good at seeing what's wrong?
You could also train yourself and rewire
your brain through gratitude practices
to see what's right!
And what you see you start seeing more of!
So ask yourself the question:
What am I grateful for right now?
And if you say nothing,
what could I be grateful for right now?
So here's your quick brain challenge:
Is to write 3 things down and post it
that you're grateful for today
Either take a picture of your journal
or take a picture of something
you are grateful for,
post it online and say
"This is what I'm grateful for today!"
and ask your friends "What are you grateful for?"
Because that's a great question
that you could give them!
So are you up
for the challenge quick brain?
I know you are!
This is going to be a fun one!
Write down or post some of your favorite things
that you're grateful for right at the moment!
It doesn't have to be the
biggest thing in the world
Because what you appreciate, appreciates!
And you're going to find that you
have more and more to be grateful for
because little by little
by little becomes a lot!
I think one of the greatest prayers
that we have are the simple words
"Thank you!"
Just saying "Thank you!"
Giving thanks.
So I want to thank you for
watching this episode,
listening to this episode,
