Stop Neglecting Gratitude: Live a Happier Life

Good morning, Believe Nation. Happy Thursday. It's Thursday. I'm excited. It's a, it's an interesting kind of sunny day outside, sunny mix of clouds. It's good to be back, guys. Gratitude Live Journal, gratitude journal livestream number 39. Super pumped to be back here with you guys. We do this every day, right? We do this every day. We talk about things that we're grateful for. 3 things I'm going to go through from my list. I want you guys to share 3 things in the live chat and then people watching later share 3 things down below. You got to make it consistent, has to be daily, and you got to ask yourself why. Why is it so important to you? Because if you want the emotional benefits, you want to be a happier, healthier entrepreneur, have a bigger impact, go chase things that you want, go make that big difference in the world, then I think gratitude is a key part of it. So it's been an important part of my morning routine, and I'm thankful to be able to share it with you guys as well. I'm going to start off first thing for me. I had a lot of fun interaction yesterday that I'm really grateful for. It started with— I had the 7 Ways video. I put up a list of my 7— what I thought were the 7 greatest YouTube channels for entrepreneurs. If you haven't seen that, check it out. It's fun. And a couple of people who are in the video wrote back, either commented on the video or wrote me a message. Tim Schmoyer wrote in. Lewis Howes wrote a comment. Tony Robbins' team wrote me a message. Howard Cox wrote me a message. And so it's just fun to see to see people recognized and just being there. They were thankful for the recognition. It was great to hear from them. Then I trolled Tim Schmoyer a little bit last night. He has this thing every night on a Wednesday night where they're doing lessons from YouTubers. And I was a part of season 1, and now he's doing season 2. And I was in there. I had a little bit of time to kill before going to a meeting, and so I was in there for about 15 minutes. And, uh, first I just said, hey guys, what's up in the chat. It was great to see how many of Tim's fans are also fans of my channel, had some great dialogue there. But then, uh, Tim saw one of the things that I post and he mentioned my name. So then I wrote, I wrote in live chat, OMG, Tim said my name, OMG, and like happy faces. Uh, and then he saw it and mentioned that and started laughing too. Anyway, just a little fun little little fun, fun moment last night. And then I ended up staying up till 2, just past 2. I had a meeting with somebody on my team from 10:30 until 2. So that was an intense meeting. It was a good meeting. I might have a couple bags under the eyes, but it was a fun interaction last night. So really grateful for all the fun interactions with people last night. Hopefully some more today. I've got some meetings, some calls. One hangout later in the afternoon. So here's to the continued fun interactions with people. Second thing, Nina last night made me a healthy snack when I was going to go have my meeting. I felt like I wanted something to snack on, something to bring, and so she made me a tea but also these awesome cheese and tomato— not tomato, grapes— cheese and grape skewers, I guess, on a toothpick. So this like smoky cheese, I don't know what it was, Havarti or something, and then a grape on a toothpick and gave me a whole bunch of those to share and snack on. So that was, that was a good, that was a good snack. And I'm super appreciative to Nina for doing that. And number 3, let me, you know what, let me see. I want to say no robots. You guys are hearing me okay? It looks like it. No robots on the stream for the past 2 days, whatever that crazy YouTube hiccup was. You know, grateful for clear broadcast and communications, being able to get our points across and be here with each other. So those are the 3 things that I am grateful for. I'm going to get to the live chat now and see how you guys are doing this morning. Happy Thursday. Zeno kicks us off again. What's up, y'all? What are you grateful for today? What's up, y'all? I feel like he's taking that from Rishi. I feel there's a Rishi influence there. I don't know how many Dutch people say y'all, but it might be a new thing. Everyone in Holland is now going to y'all it up. Cup of y'all coming from Marisha Rodriguez. He's grateful for number 1, blister plasters. I need them and they work pretty well. I don't know what a blister plaster is. Something to help a blister, cover a blister. Anyway, I'm glad that they're working. I like the happy face at the end. 2, a good night's sleep. I wish I had that last night, bro. I didn't wake up once, which is quite rare for me lately. That's super cool. I wonder what the difference was that made that happen for you. And number 3, being able to handle criticism pretty well. That probably comes with being your own worst critic. Everything they say, they has already passed your mind. Interesting. I like that. Thank you for sharing, Zeno. Next, J-Rise. Thankful for fasting, which resets and rejuvenates our bodies. I haven't really gone on a big fast. I don't know if you guys have done a fast. Maybe like a half-day fast, but Nothing major. Maybe I should. For leading-edge architects and builders creating gorgeous eco-friendly condos. For cloves, which taste and smell delicious as well as heal. Is that like garlic? Clove of— clove of garlic? Clove of something else? I guess you don't eat a clove of garlic, so it's a clove of something else. Now I'm curious. What are these magical cloves that taste so well, taste so good. Super interesting that. Next, Mihavel. Mihavel is back. Welcome back, Mihavel. We missed you in the live chat. Number 1, grateful for being back with you, Believe Nation. I love it. Well, we missed you too, bro. Welcome home. Number 2, grateful for a great day overall. Awesome. And 3, grateful for finishing some boring tasks. Boring tasks are pretty boring, so that's good. I'm glad you can move on. What else, what else, what else? We got some chatter, we got some chatter. Zeno is asking if we're gonna see thunderclaps of excitement. Yes. Too bad I won't be there for the afternoon livestream, but I'm grateful to be able to watch the replays, says Zeno. Yeah, 4:15 I think it is, about how to build a YouTube channel. My only other— well, we have the league livestream after this, and then that one's gonna happen at 4:15 Eastern. A light day on the streams, but a busy day on the meeting side of things today. What do we got? Rishi's in the house. Sweta's in the house. Hello, guys. Yes, I trolled him. That was funny. Sweta is grateful today for YouTube. It's important. I'm grateful every day for YouTube. YouTube has made such a big difference, both, both in what I've learned and what I've been able to share. You know, wouldn't have been possible before YouTube, before that creation. So, yes, super, super excited. New Future Builder, grateful to be able to wake up and live a life where I feel safe 99% of the time. It's pretty true. You look at what's happened around the world. A lot of people don't feel safe. They go to sleep not sure what's going to happen. So, yeah, I feel you there too, man. I feel you there too. I love being able to be safe 99% of the time. Maybe 99.9, because I'm in Canada. Yeah, I had to throw the Canada love in there. Andrew, grateful for 80-degree weather in Nashville. Oh, we got— Rishi's from Nashville. We got Nashville in the house here. 80-degree weather in Nashville. Grateful for complete control of my mind. I love that. Grateful for my daily growth and learning. Very cool. Very, very cool. What else? Whoa, it just jumped again. Grishi, grateful that good things happen every day. Grateful for chicken, the food, and the— chicken, the food, and the YouTube personality, and 3 Believe Nation peeps. I love it. Yes, audio is great. I love it. Thank you guys. Mitch, grateful for YouTube as it provides a free education about Autonomous cars and consulting. Interesting. 2, I'm also grateful for health. And 3, grateful for shelter. Nikkyru is grateful for snow. We're going to get some snow pretty soon, but we don't have any yet. So we'll see. And Sarah, good morning. Grateful for waking up this beautiful morning. Grateful for social media. Grateful for the next time spent with my sister this morning. Very cool. Guys, 9:10. That's it. We are done. Thank you so much for joining me. You can hop on the Twitch chat to join in on the business Q&A while we play League of Legends with Jay Rise and Rishi Kev TV. Otherwise, I'll see you at 4:15 later on today in the afternoon for an interview. Otherwise, I'll see you tomorrow morning again for another gratitude journal livestream.
