Dean Graziosi shares a late Thanksgiving message thanking his audience, encouraging gratitude despite difficult circumstances, and celebrating the community of commenters who inspire him. He recounts overcoming childhood shyness by taking acting classes and issues a practical challenge: over the next week tell at least five people your goals with confidence to build practice and inner belief.
Hi, this is Dean Graziosi, and welcome to this week's blog. Hey, you know, last week I did a blog on Monday which is before Thanksgiving. I didn't get a chance to say Happy Thanksgiving. I was so in tune with the message I wanted to share. Totally forgot about it. Now Thanksgiving has passed. So I want to make sure that I say to each and every one of you, happy Thanksgiving. I hope you had an amazing time with your family. I know some of you might be going through troubled times, and Thanksgiving is not what it should have been, but I just hope you still found a way to give thanks. You're here, you're breathing. You have the opportunity for a better tomorrow. So remember that. Cherish that. And I want to thank you. You know, I want to give thanks back to you because as much as so many of you are so awesome to write here about how this blog, you look forward to it every week and it helps inspire you. I want to let you know, you guys inspire me. I read every single post that you guys put underneath here, and I have to tell you, I'm a little addicted. Like you may be addicted to watch the video. I'm addicted of listening and trying to figure out more and more ways to share with someone here, share what I learned from the outside and give it back to you because it's a pretty awesome thing, having people helping people. We're making a huge wave. Look at the comments and the post just here@Dean Graziosi.com hundreds on a daily basis of people that are inspired taking their life to the next level. And that needs to be you, no matter where you are. Remember, you could take your life to the next level and continue to grow year after year. And you have to realize something. I've got to witness this from the outside looking in. You see, you're in your own life. You're in your own world. You're dealing with your obstacles, your challenges, your money issues or where you want to go, writing down your goals, taking all these things I tell you every single week and trying to do some of them, trying to put them in your life. But, you know, I'm fortunate enough to look from the outside, and I see hundreds of you changing their life day by day, piece by piece, hour by hour, if you have to. But inevitably, you can do this. No matter who you are, where you are, where you live, you can do this. Okay, a tiny little challenge. Two weeks ago, I talked about fake it till you make it. Just meaning find an inner confidence to put your shoulders back and exude confidence so people know you're serious, even if you haven't done a deal. Last week I talked about, what is it that you're telling people? What's the story you tell other people? I'm dabbling in real estate. I'm hoping it works. Or you know what? I haven't done it yet, but. But I'm learning the right techniques and I'm going to be a smart, successful and wealthy real estate investor. Which one are you sharing? So that was my little evolution. So one tiny little. This was really just a Thanksgiving wish. Again, Happy Thanksgiving, even though I'm a little late. But here's another little challenge. Why don't over the next week, you make sure you tell at least five people what your goals are. I don't care if you're laughed at. I don't care if people go, oh, this guy. This girl's crazy. Do it just to practice how you share how you put your arms. I saw your comments where some of you said, this is the hardest thing for me. I lack the confidence. I'm shy. I know it's hard. You might not realize it. I was shy as heck as a kid. In fact, when I was really young, I took a year of acting classes about two years out of high school. Not because I ever wanted to be an actor, only because I knew it would force me to address my biggest fear, which was being in front of crowds, talking on camera, being around people. I was really shy. I. I went to acting class and there's 20 people sitting around watching you go up in front of them every day or every time you're there every week and really like critiquing you and seeing. And it's so embarrassing. But it forced me out of my shell and I wanted more out of my life. And I realized being shy, being timid and being afraid to ask wasn't going to get me the life I wanted. I was sick of being broke and I wanted more. And that was one of the things. So get uncomfortable this week. Tell five people with your chest out and your arms back and your head up what you want, what you're doing and where you're going to go. It doesn't matter what they say. It's all about what you think. So again, happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for everything. Leave me some messages. Love reading them. I'll talk to you next week.
