Now here's something that you guys already know. I'm going to tell you something. You're going, oh, I knew that. You can't be grateful and sad, grateful and depressed, grateful and overwhelmed, grateful and jealous, grateful and envious. Those emotions can't go together. But being grateful sometimes. Everybody says be grateful, but it's kind of tough. Let's just be honest. Sometimes you're like, yeah, I'm grateful. I live a decent life. I live a good life. I have a great family. I have a good family. My kids are healthy. I'm healthy. I woke up this morning. I share that all the time. You know, 150,000 people die every single day. You're not one of them. But sometimes it's really hard to make that stick, right? Share with Me, if you know what I'm saying. Like this. Let me see the hearts and the thumbs up. It's hard to find. Be grateful sometimes. I get that. I say, oh, thank you so much. Here's what I want you to think about today and this week. Instead of being grateful for what you have, let's look back in your life at the experiences you're grateful for. This is something my dear friend Tony Robbins taught me ages ago. And we get it. He got it. Here's a great thing. I mention people as much as I can because there's been so many incredible inspiration and teachers in my life, right? So if you go to the gym and you work out on your biceps, you know that you can make your arms stronger. But if you don't go all the time, your arms get weak. If you don't exercise, all those things, right? But it's the same thing within here. If we know gratitude can change your life. But sometimes you need a reminder on how to make it stick for you, how it works for you. So I want you to think about this today. Instead of being grateful for what you have or the place you live, what about being grateful for moments? So right now, let me ask you to do this. Think back in your life in a moment. That was really a great experience. That was really something that filled your heart, that made you feel amazing. Let me tell you my quick story. Yesterday morning, I got up at 5 o'. Clock. If you saw my. I don't know if you follow me on Instagram. You should. It's pretty cool. I'm trying to do quick little videos every day. What's up, Rob? How you doing, man? So I'm climbing Camelback yesterday, and I'm on my way to get to Camelback Mountain, which is right here. I can see it. I don't know if you guys can see it. There's Camelback Mountain right there. Okay? So people come from all over the climate. It's in my backyard. I'm so lucky, right? So yesterday morning, I get up and I'm gonna go climb Camelback Mountain and my new iPhone 7 that I'm filming this shaky video on right now for you iPhone 7. It's. I have wireless headset. I plugged it in the night before. They didn't charge. I go to climb the mountain. I got no headset. I'm like, man, can I really climb for 45 minutes without music or out listening to an audiobook? I'm like, you know what? Just going to go. And then I started thinking about what I teach people. Sometimes you forget. And I'm like, let me just be grateful for the moments, the things that happened in my past. And I started thinking about the time I went fishing with my grandmother when I was 10 and what an impact she made on my life. I'm the man I am today because of my grandma. And I remember this time we were fishing and I felt so loved and felt so secure, and I just flooded myself with that emotion. I know this sounds cliche, but I remember the day my daughter was born. And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm a dad. I have a little girl. I remember going in the security office or the janitor's closet, calling my mom and saying, I'm a dad. I have a healthy little girl. I remember the first time my son pitched and he got done. His first batter, he struck everybody out. First batter he struck out, second batter he struck out. And after the second batter, he just looked at me after every pitch. And he kept looking at me and smiling like, literally, like, dad, we did it right. I could cry talking about it. And I went up the mountain without music without being distracted, without looking at my phone, without listening to a book. And I just flooded myself with moments I was grateful for rather than what I have. Of course, I should be grateful for everything. This house I live in, this fountain that's a fountain, by the way, that's making that noise next to me. And I started flooding myself with these moments and I couldn't. I was in such an amazing situation space. I was climbing that mountain. In fact, they did it the fastest I've ever done it in my life. And I'm not in as good a cardio shape as I should be. And it was because of the moments. So what I want you to think about this week is gratitude is such an amazing, powerful tool because you can't be grateful and sad. You can't be grateful and overwhelmed. You can't be grateful and depressed. If you're truly grateful, and if you still are, that just means that you're not truly grateful. You're grateful for the things and they're not sinking in. So let me just give you the differentiator. When you know you're being truly grateful is when it's in your heart, not in here. I can say I'm grateful for this house, the things I've had, the business I've accomplished, the New York Times best selling books that I've had, when I had dyslexia and was in special reading in school, the lives that I'VE touched the people that are listening right now reading every one of your comments. I appreciate it. You know, Marla, thank you. All these things I'm grateful for, but nothing is like the moment. So this morning I digress here, because I'm thinking about my kids. This morning at the kitchen table, I told them, I said, remember, in Life, when we're 90 years old, we're not going to think about one damn thing we got, not one damn thing that we acquired. We're going to be grateful for the moments and the feelings that we had along our journey in this thing called life. So this week, start being grateful for the feelings. Start being grateful for the experiences. Look back at the things that's made a massive impact on your life or touched your soul with happiness and joy. Focus on them. Get in that feeling of gratitude. And then all the other decisions you make that day will be easier. You won't make decisions from a scared place, a depressed place, an overwhelmed place, a stressed place. You'll make decisions from an empowered, grateful place. And that's where success is born. That's where success lives. And that's where you find the next level of your life. Listen, the best gift I could ever wish for you is to not to be me, not to do what I do, not to have what other people have. Just for you to reach your full potential. Because you got so much more gas left in the tank. That's my message for today. Thank you guys. Appreciate you being here.
