  1. 0:02I want you to imagine something for a
  2. 0:05moment imagine that every day is like a
  3. 0:07fresh canvas and you've got the brush in
  4. 0:10your
  5. 0:11hand and that brush that's the choices
  6. 0:14you
  7. 0:15make now the question is what will you
  8. 0:19paint you see every single day as an
  9. 0:21opportunity for
  10. 0:24improvement it's an opportunity to
  11. 0:26sharpen your skills refine your thinking
  12. 0:29and elev your life to a higher
  13. 0:32level but it doesn't happen by
  14. 0:35chance you have to make it
  15. 0:38happen one of the greatest lessons I've
  16. 0:40learned is this success is nothing more
  17. 0:44than a few simple disciplines practiced
  18. 0:47every
  19. 0:49day failure on the other hand is simply
  20. 0:52a few errors in judgment repeated every
  21. 0:55day the difference between these two
  22. 0:58failure and success Li
  23. 1:00in the small things you choose to
  24. 1:04improve
  25. 1:06daily it's not the big
  26. 1:09changes it's the little changes the ones
  27. 1:12we sometimes Overlook that make the
  28. 1:14biggest difference over
  29. 1:16time I've summed it up to about 10
  30. 1:19things that you must improve every
  31. 1:23day we're going to cover those 10 areas
  32. 1:25but we're going to move through them
  33. 1:27quickly so we can move on to our goal
  34. 1:29Workshop
  35. 1:32number
  36. 1:33one the first thing you must improve
  37. 1:36daily is your
  38. 1:40attitude how powerful your attitude
  39. 1:43is your attitude is the foundation on
  40. 1:46which your life is
  41. 1:48built if you improve it just a little
  42. 1:50each day you'll find that it changes
  43. 1:51everything about your
  44. 1:54day now you might say Jim it's just an
  45. 2:00attitude it's just how I
  46. 2:02feel well I'm telling you it's not just
  47. 2:05how you feel it's how you see the
  48. 2:07world it's how you approach problems how
  49. 2:10you handle challenges and how you relate
  50. 2:11to other
  51. 2:13people and it goes both
  52. 2:16ways your attitude is like a magnet it
  53. 2:19draws in Opportunities or it pushes them
  54. 2:23away think about this have you ever met
  55. 2:26someone who is always
  56. 2:28negative someone who complains about
  57. 2:30everything no matter how good life
  58. 2:35is now how much success do you think
  59. 2:38they attract with that
  60. 2:40attitude probably not
  61. 2:43much and that's because their negative
  62. 2:45attitude creates a barrier to
  63. 2:48opportunities on the other hand someone
  64. 2:52with a positive attitude attracts
  65. 2:56opportunities like a
  66. 2:58magnet people want to be around them
  67. 3:01they want to work with them they want to
  68. 3:03help them they want to see them
  69. 3:06succeed so if you improve your attitude
  70. 3:09just a little every
  71. 3:12day maybe you work on being a little
  72. 3:14more
  73. 3:15optimistic maybe you work on being a
  74. 3:17little more
  75. 3:19patient you'll find that doors start to
  76. 3:22open that you never even knew were
  77. 3:25there now here's something to think
  78. 3:28about your attitude doesn't change
  79. 3:31overnight it's a slow and steady
  80. 3:35process you improve it bit by bit day by
  81. 3:39day maybe today you focus on being a
  82. 3:42little more
  83. 3:43grateful tomorrow you focus on being a
  84. 3:45little more
  85. 3:48resilient the next day you focus on
  86. 3:51finding Solutions instead of dwelling on
  87. 3:55problems each day you add a small brick
  88. 3:58to the foundation of a better attitude
  89. 4:00and before you know it you've built
  90. 4:02something strong and
  91. 4:05Lasting and I'm telling you when your
  92. 4:07attitude improves everything else starts
  93. 4:09to improve with it your relationships
  94. 4:12your work your health
  95. 4:15everything
  96. 4:17next you must work on your communication
  97. 4:19skills every
  98. 4:20day this is a huge factor in how
  99. 4:25successful you
  100. 4:28become why
  101. 4:30because everything in life involves
  102. 4:34communication whether you're talking to
  103. 4:36a friend making a business deal or
  104. 4:37simply interacting with your family
  105. 4:40communication is at the heart of it
  106. 4:45all and the better you are at
  107. 4:47communicating the better your
  108. 4:49relationships will be the better your
  109. 4:51business will run and the more influence
  110. 4:53you'll have in your
  111. 4:56community now let me clarify something
  112. 5:00communication isn't just about
  113. 5:04talking in fact some of the best
  114. 5:06communicators don't talk that much at
  115. 5:08all they listen they listen carefully
  116. 5:12they listen with empathy they listen to
  117. 5:15understand not just to
  118. 5:17respond you
  119. 5:19see good communication is a two-way
  120. 5:22street it's about expressing your ideas
  121. 5:25clearly and understanding the ideas of
  122. 5:28others and you can improve this every
  123. 5:32day maybe today you work on being a
  124. 5:34better
  125. 5:35listener tomorrow you practice getting
  126. 5:40your point across without being
  127. 5:44aggressive the day after that you work
  128. 5:47on finding the right words to express
  129. 5:49how you
  130. 5:50feel each day you chip away at the rough
  131. 5:54edges of your communication style and
  132. 5:57you become someone who people want to
  133. 5:59listen to
  134. 6:01and here's the real power of it when you
  135. 6:03communicate better you influence
  136. 6:07more you lead better you inspire others
  137. 6:11to take
  138. 6:13action tell me have you ever had a
  139. 6:16misunderstanding with someone because of
  140. 6:18poor
  141. 6:20communication maybe you thought they
  142. 6:22meant one thing but they meant something
  143. 6:25completely
  144. 6:27different and that little
  145. 6:28misunderstanding in led to a big
  146. 6:31problem now imagine if you improved your
  147. 6:35communication just a little every
  148. 6:39day how many of those misunderstandings
  149. 6:42could you
  150. 6:43avoid how many conflicts could you
  151. 6:46resolve how much more trust could you
  152. 6:48build in your
  153. 6:51relationships it's worth thinking about
  154. 6:53isn't
  155. 6:55it
  156. 6:57next you must improve your selfis
  157. 7:00displine every
  158. 7:02day it's
  159. 7:05crucial you see self-discipline is the
  160. 7:08bridge between your goals and your
  161. 7:11accomplishments it's the ability to keep
  162. 7:13going when you don't feel like
  163. 7:15it it's the ability to do what needs to
  164. 7:18be done even when it's
  165. 7:23uncomfortable and here's the truth
  166. 7:26without
  167. 7:27self-discipline success is
  168. 7:32impossible you might have the best goals
  169. 7:34in the world the most brilliant ideas
  170. 7:36and all the talent you could ask for but
  171. 7:38if you don't have the discipline to
  172. 7:40follow through none of that
  173. 7:44matters self-discipline is like a
  174. 7:47muscle the more you work on it the
  175. 7:50stronger it
  176. 7:52gets and you can improve it a little
  177. 7:55every
  178. 7:56day maybe today you discipline yourself
  179. 7:59to wake up 15 minutes
  180. 8:01earlier tomorrow you discipline yourself
  181. 8:04to exercise even if you don't feel like
  182. 8:07it the next day you discipline yourself
  183. 8:09to stay focused on your work without
  184. 8:12getting
  185. 8:15distracted each of these little acts of
  186. 8:19discipline may seem small but when you
  187. 8:21add them up over time they create
  188. 8:24massive
  189. 8:26results now here's something to think
  190. 8:27about self-discipline isn't just about
  191. 8:30willpower it's about creating
  192. 8:35habits you see when you make something a
  193. 8:39habit it no longer requires as much
  194. 8:43discipline it becomes
  195. 8:45automatic so part of improving your
  196. 8:47self-discipline is building habits that
  197. 8:48support your
  198. 8:50goals for example if you make it a habit
  199. 8:53to read 10 pages of a good book every
  200. 8:56day you don't have to rely on Willpower
  201. 8:58to learn and grow
  202. 9:01The Habit takes over and your discipline
  203. 9:03becomes
  204. 9:06effortless I once knew a young man who
  205. 9:08was incredibly
  206. 9:10talented he had all the potential in the
  207. 9:15world but he lacked
  208. 9:18discipline he would start projects with
  209. 9:20great enthusiasm but he would never
  210. 9:22finish
  211. 9:23them he'd get distracted by the next
  212. 9:26shiny object the next new idea and leave
  213. 9:27the old one behind
  214. 9:33as a result he never made any real
  215. 9:37progress one day I sat down with him and
  216. 9:40I told him you've got to work on your
  217. 9:43discipline you've got to train yourself
  218. 9:45to stick with something until it's done
  219. 9:48even when it's hard even when it's
  220. 9:50boring even when you don't feel like
  221. 9:54it and you know what he took that advice
  222. 9:57to Heart
  223. 10:00he started small just finishing one
  224. 10:03little project at a
  225. 10:05time and over time he developed the
  226. 10:08discipline to follow through on the big
  227. 10:12things today he's incredibly successful
  228. 10:16and he'll tell you that self-discipline
  229. 10:17was the key to it
  230. 10:19all another way to improve your mindset
  231. 10:22is to challenge your limiting
  232. 10:25beliefs you see many of us are held back
  233. 10:28not by external circumstance ances but
  234. 10:30by the beliefs we hold about ourselves
  235. 10:32in the
  236. 10:35world we think we can't do something
  237. 10:37because we've never done it before or
  238. 10:40because someone told us we're not good
  239. 10:45enough but those beliefs are just
  240. 10:47thoughts and thoughts can be
  241. 10:51changed so each day work on replacing
  242. 10:53those limiting beliefs with empowering
  243. 10:57ones instead of thinking
  244. 11:00I can't do this think I'm learning how
  245. 11:04to do this instead of thinking I'll
  246. 11:08never be successful think I'm on the
  247. 11:11path to
  248. 11:13success each day you improve your
  249. 11:15mindset just a little and over time
  250. 11:16you'll find that your entire outlook on
  251. 11:19life
  252. 11:22changes I once knew a man who struggled
  253. 11:24with his
  254. 11:26mindset he was constantly focused on the
  255. 11:28negatives in
  256. 11:30life he saw every obstacle as
  257. 11:32insurmountable every failure as
  258. 11:35final as a result he was stuck no matter
  259. 11:39how hard he tried he couldn't move
  260. 11:42forward one day I sat down with him and
  261. 11:45I told him you've got to work on your
  262. 11:49mindset you've got to stop focusing on
  263. 11:51what's wrong and start focusing on
  264. 11:53what's
  265. 11:55possible he took that advice to Heart
  266. 12:00he started small reading a few pages of
  267. 12:02an uplifting book each morning
  268. 12:04practicing gratitude each night and
  269. 12:06slowly shifting his Focus from problems
  270. 12:08to
  271. 12:10Solutions over time his mindset
  272. 12:13transformed and so did his
  273. 12:16life he became more confident more
  274. 12:19resilient and more
  275. 12:21successful and it all started with the
  276. 12:23daily practice of improving his
  277. 12:26mindset
  278. 12:27next time
  279. 12:30management we have to pay close
  280. 12:31attention to time it's the one resource
  281. 12:35we all have the same amount of but how
  282. 12:37we use it makes all the
  283. 12:40difference you see time is precious and
  284. 12:43once it's gone you can never get it
  285. 12:47back so if you want to achieve great
  286. 12:50things in life you've got to learn how
  287. 12:53to manage your time
  288. 12:56wisely and the good news is time
  289. 12:59management is something you can improve
  290. 13:00every
  291. 13:02day maybe today you work on setting
  292. 13:05clearer
  293. 13:06priorities tomorrow you focus on
  294. 13:10eliminating
  295. 13:12distractions the next day you practice
  296. 13:15saying no to things that don't align
  297. 13:17with your
  298. 13:19goals each small Improvement in how you
  299. 13:22manage your time adds up and before you
  300. 13:25know it you're getting more done in less
  301. 13:28time
  302. 13:30and you're focusing on the things that
  303. 13:34truly
  304. 13:37matter tell me how often do you find
  305. 13:39yourself busy but not
  306. 13:42productive how often do you spend your
  307. 13:44time on things that don't really move
  308. 13:45the needle while the important tasks get
  309. 13:48pushed to the
  310. 13:52side you see being busy is not the same
  311. 13:54as being
  312. 13:57productive and that's why Improv your
  313. 13:59time management is so
  314. 14:02crucial it's about focusing on the right
  315. 14:05things at the right time in the right
  316. 14:08way one of the best ways to improve your
  317. 14:11time management is to start your day
  318. 14:13with a
  319. 14:14plan take a few minutes each morning to
  320. 14:17map out your priorities for the
  321. 14:20day what are the most important things
  322. 14:22you need to
  323. 14:23accomplish what can you delegate or
  324. 14:27eliminate and here's a key
  325. 14:30don't just plan your work plan your
  326. 14:32breaks
  327. 14:34to you see rest is just as important as
  328. 14:38action if you don't take time to
  329. 14:40recharge you'll burn
  330. 14:43out so make sure that you're managing
  331. 14:45your time in a way that includes both
  332. 14:50productivity and
  333. 14:54rest I've worked with many people over
  334. 14:56the years who struggled with time
  335. 14:58management
  336. 15:00they'd tell me Jim I just don't have
  337. 15:01enough time to get everything
  338. 15:04done and I'd tell them you've got
  339. 15:08exactly the same amount of time as
  340. 15:11everyone
  341. 15:12else it's not about having more time
  342. 15:15it's about using the time you have more
  343. 15:18effectively so if you want to improve
  344. 15:20your life start by improving how you
  345. 15:22manage your
  346. 15:25time it's a daily practice and with each
  347. 15:29day that you get a little better you'll
  348. 15:31find that your life starts to fall into
  349. 15:33place more
  350. 15:35smoothly
  351. 15:37next every day you must build and
  352. 15:40improve your
  353. 15:41knowledge now I'm telling you the world
  354. 15:45is constantly changing and if you're not
  355. 15:48learning you're falling
  356. 15:51behind the more you know the more you
  357. 15:53can do the more you can do the more
  358. 15:57value you can bring to the marketplace
  359. 16:00and the more value you bring the more
  360. 16:02rewards you
  361. 16:04receive so if you want to stay ahead in
  362. 16:07life you've got to improve your
  363. 16:08knowledge every single
  364. 16:10day how do you do that simple read
  365. 16:14listen
  366. 16:16study every day commit to learning
  367. 16:18something
  368. 16:20new maybe today you read an article
  369. 16:23about your
  370. 16:25industry tomorrow you listen to a
  371. 16:27seminar about personal development Vel
  372. 16:30M the next day you take a course to
  373. 16:32improve your
  374. 16:34skills each small investment and
  375. 16:37learning adds
  376. 16:40up you'll find that you're more
  377. 16:42knowledgeable more skilled and more
  378. 16:44prepared for whatever life throws your
  379. 16:48way and here's the thing learning
  380. 16:50doesn't stop when you leave
  381. 16:53school in fact that's when the real
  382. 16:55learning begins
  383. 16:59you see formal education will make you a
  384. 17:02living but self-education will make you
  385. 17:04a
  386. 17:05fortune the most successful people in
  387. 17:07the world are lifelong
  388. 17:09Learners they never stop improving their
  389. 17:12knowledge because they know that the
  390. 17:15more they learn the more they can
  391. 17:19achieve Mr scha was one of the smartest
  392. 17:21men I've ever met but he didn't become
  393. 17:24that way by
  394. 17:26chance he became that way by dedicating
  395. 17:28himself to to learning every
  396. 17:31day he told me
  397. 17:34once Jim the more you learn the more you
  398. 17:39earn and I took that to heart I started
  399. 17:42reading listening to tapes attending
  400. 17:43seminars anything I could do to improve
  401. 17:45my
  402. 17:46knowledge and you know what Mr scha was
  403. 17:53right the more I
  404. 17:56learned the more opportunities came my
  405. 17:58way
  406. 18:00way and the same will be true for
  407. 18:03you next there is never a good day to
  408. 18:07neglect your
  409. 18:09finances you see your financial
  410. 18:11situation is not just something that
  411. 18:13happens to you it's something you
  412. 18:17create and just like any other area of
  413. 18:20life it requires daily attention and
  414. 18:25Improvement whether you're trying to get
  415. 18:27out of debt build wealth or simply
  416. 18:30create more Financial Security it starts
  417. 18:32with making small consistent

  427. 18:58impove improve your financial situation
  428. 19:00a little bit each
  429. 19:03day maybe today you start by tracking
  430. 19:07your expenses so you know where your
  431. 19:09money is
  432. 19:11going tomorrow you create a simple
  433. 19:13budget to make sure you're living within
  434. 19:15your
  435. 19:16means the next day you start setting
  436. 19:19aside a small percentage of your income
  437. 19:23for savings or
  438. 19:25Investments each of these small steps
  439. 19:28add adds up and before you know it
  440. 19:30you'll find that your finances are under
  441. 19:32control and
  442. 19:35growing I'm telling you it's not about
  443. 19:38how much money you make it's about how
  444. 19:40much money you
  445. 19:43keep you see some people make a lot of
  446. 19:45money but they spend it just as fast as
  447. 19:48they earn
  448. 19:49it they live paycheck to paycheck always
  449. 19:52on the edge of financial
  450. 19:54trouble but others who make less are
  451. 19:59able to save invest and build wealth
  452. 20:03because they've learned the principles
  453. 20:05of financial
  454. 20:07management and those principles can be
  455. 20:09learned by
  456. 20:11anyone you don't have to be a financial
  457. 20:13expert to improve your finances you just
  458. 20:17need to make small smart decisions every
  459. 20:21day one of the best pieces of financial
  460. 20:23advice I ever received was this spend
  461. 20:26less than you earn and invest the rest
  462. 20:30it sounds simple but it's
  463. 20:34powerful if you live by that principle
  464. 20:36every day your financial future will be
  465. 20:39secure but here's the key it requires
  466. 20:43discipline it requires the willingness
  467. 20:45to delay
  468. 20:47gratification it requires you to say no
  469. 20:49to unnecessary expenses today so that
  470. 20:53you can say yes to Financial Freedom
  471. 20:57tomorrow and that's something you can

  473. 21:01smart financial decisions to manage your
  474. 21:03money wisely and to invest in your

  477. 21:12statement and wondered where did all my
  478. 21:14money

  480. 21:18improving your financial
  481. 21:21habits it's time to take control of your
  482. 21:23money instead of letting it control

  519. 22:55you could be
  520. 22:58one of the best things you can do for
  521. 23:00your personal development is to set
  522. 23:03goals clear specific goals that
  523. 23:06challenge you to
  524. 23:08grow but here's the key those goals must
  525. 23:12be aligned with your values your
  526. 23:13passions and your
  527. 23:16purpose you see it's not just about
  528. 23:18achieving more it's about becoming
  529. 23:22more it's about becoming the kind of
  530. 23:24person who can achieve those
  531. 23:27goals and that's something you can work
  532. 23:29on every
  533. 23:32day maybe today you set a goal to read
  534. 23:34one chapter of a personal development
  535. 23:38book tomorrow you set a goal to practice
  536. 23:41a new habit for 10
  537. 23:45minutes the next day you set a goal to

  541. 23:54you forward on your journey of personal
  542. 23:56growth
  543. 23:59now here's something important to
  544. 24:02understand personal development isn't
  545. 24:05just about learning new
  546. 24:07things it's also about unlearning the
  547. 24:10things that no longer serve
  548. 24:13you sometimes in order to grow you've
  549. 24:16got to let go of old habits old beliefs
  550. 24:19and old ways of thinking that are
  551. 24:21holding you
  552. 24:23back that's why personal development is
  553. 24:26an ongoing process
  554. 24:29you're constantly learning growing and
  555. 24:33evolving and the more you commit to that
  556. 24:36process the more you'll find that your
  557. 24:39life improves in every
  558. 24:43area one of the most powerful lessons
  559. 24:45I've learned about personal development
  560. 24:47is this you attract what you
  561. 24:51become if you want to attract success
  562. 24:54you must become successful in your
  563. 24:56habits in your thinking and in your
  564. 25:00actions if you want to attract great
  565. 25:03relationships you must become the kind
  566. 25:05of person who is worthy of great
  567. 25:10relationships if you want to attract
  568. 25:12abundance you must develop an abundant
  569. 25:18mindset and that's something you can
  570. 25:20work on every
  571. 25:23day you can become more disciplined more
  572. 25:26focused more positive and more
  573. 25:27successful by improving proving yourself
  574. 25:28just a little each
  575. 25:30day
  576. 25:32next your
  577. 25:35purpose this one is so
  578. 25:38important you see purpose gives your
  579. 25:40life
  580. 25:42Direction it's the reason you get up in
  581. 25:44the morning the thing that drives you to
  582. 25:46keep going even when things get
  583. 25:49tough and here's the key you've got to
  584. 25:52work on your purpose every
  585. 25:55day you got to constantly refine it
  586. 25:58deepen it and live it out in everything
  587. 26:01you
  588. 26:02do now some people will say Jim I don't
  589. 26:05know what my purpose
  590. 26:06is and that's okay you see purpose isn't
  591. 26:10something you find all at
  592. 26:13once it's something you discover and
  593. 26:17develop over
  594. 26:18time and you can improve it a little
  595. 26:20every

  603. 26:39living a life of purpose and before you
  604. 26:41know it you'll find that your purpose
  605. 26:43becomes clearer stronger and more
  606. 26:49fulfilling here's the thing when you

  613. 27:10which a fulfilling life is built and
  614. 27:12it's something you can work on every
  615. 27:15day I once met a man who had everything
  616. 27:17money success Fame but he was deeply
  617. 27:20unhappy he couldn't figure out
  618. 27:24why one day we had a he had a
  619. 27:27conversation
  620. 27:28and I asked him what's your purpose
  621. 27:31what's the reason you're doing all of
  622. 27:34this he couldn't
  623. 27:36answer he had spent so much time chasing
  624. 27:39success that he had lost sight of why he
  625. 27:41wanted it in the first
  626. 27:45place I told him you've got to find your
  627. 27:48purpose and you've got to live it every
  628. 27:53day he took that advice to
  629. 27:56heart he started focusing on what truly
  630. 27:58mattered to him helping others making a
  631. 28:01difference living a life of
  632. 28:05significance and you know what his
  633. 28:08entire life
  634. 28:10changed he found happiness fulfillment
  635. 28:13and a sense of peace that he had never
  636. 28:14experienced
  637. 28:16before and it all started with the daily
  638. 28:19practice of living with

  677. 30:05grateful even the tough times become
  678. 30:07valuable and that's the real power of

  697. 30:58you see when you're truly grateful for
  698. 31:00something you want to give
  699. 31:02back you want to contribute to help
  700. 31:05others to make a
  701. 31:08difference and that's another reason why

  706. 31:22daily practice it begins to change not
  707. 31:25just your perspective but also your
  708. 31:27behavior
  709. 31:30being grateful has a way of softening us
  710. 31:32of making us more generous more patient
  711. 31:35more
  712. 31:38compassionate you see when you focus on
  713. 31:40what you have when you appreciate the
  714. 31:42small and the big blessings in your life
  715. 31:44you start to
  716. 31:47release that sense of
  717. 31:50scarcity that fear of not having
  718. 31:55enough and that's powerful
  719. 31:58because when you stop living in fear you
  720. 32:00start living in
  721. 32:02abundance and I'm telling you living in
  722. 32:04abundance is one of the greatest shifts
  723. 32:06you can make in your
  724. 32:10life gratefulness is like a muscle
  725. 32:13you've got to work on it daily for it to
  726. 32:15grow
  727. 32:17strong every day take a moment to
  728. 32:20reflect on what you're grateful
  729. 32:22for and it doesn't have to be big
  730. 32:26things maybe today you're grateful for
  731. 32:31the
  732. 32:32sunshine tomorrow you're grateful for
  733. 32:35the fact that you have food on your
  734. 32:37table the next day you're grateful for
  735. 32:40the lessons you've learned through
  736. 32:42hardship whatever it is find something
  737. 32:47even if it's
  738. 32:48small you see the key isn't the size of
  739. 32:51the thing you're grateful for the key is
  740. 32:53the act of being grateful
  741. 32:56itself now I'm telling you being
  742. 32:59grateful doesn't mean ignoring
  743. 33:02problems it doesn't mean pretending
  744. 33:04everything is perfect when it's
  745. 33:07not life has its
  746. 33:11challenges but when you practice being
  747. 33:13grateful you develop the resilience to
  748. 33:15face those challenges without being
  749. 33:17overwhelmed by
  750. 33:20them you learn to say yes this is hard
  751. 33:26but I'm still grateful for the strength
  752. 33:28to get through
  753. 33:30it you see gratefulness shifts your
  754. 33:32focus from what's wrong to what's right
  755. 33:35and that gives you the energy the
  756. 33:37courage and the perspective to keep
  757. 33:40moving
  758. 33:42forward there was a woman I knew who was
  759. 33:44going through a very difficult time in
  760. 33:46her
  761. 33:48life she had lost her job her
  762. 33:51relationship had ended and she was
  763. 33:53feeling
  764. 33:56lost every day seemed like a
  765. 34:00struggle one day we sat down and I told
  766. 34:02her you've got to find something to be
  767. 34:05grateful for even in the midst of this
  768. 34:09storm At first she thought it was
  769. 34:13impossible but she started
  770. 34:16small each day she wrote down one thing
  771. 34:18she was grateful for no matter how
  772. 34:22small slowly day by day her perspective
  773. 34:25began to change
  774. 34:28she began to see opportunities where she
  775. 34:30once saw
  776. 34:32obstacles she started to rebuild her
  777. 34:34life and today she's happier and more
  778. 34:37successful than she ever was
  779. 34:40before and she'll tell you that it all
  780. 34:42started with being
  781. 34:45grateful now there's one more thing I
  782. 34:47want to emphasize about being grateful
  783. 34:49it's
  784. 34:51contagious when you're grateful about
  785. 34:53everything people around you
  786. 34:56notice it's
  787. 34:58spreads your positive outlook inspires
  788. 35:01others to see the good in their own
  789. 35:04lives your generosity encourages others
  790. 35:06to be
  791. 35:08generous your appreciation for Life
  792. 35:10lifts others out of their
  793. 35:13negativity so when you practice
  794. 35:15gratefulness every day you're not just
  795. 35:18improving your own life you're improving
  796. 35:22the lives of those around
  797. 35:24you and that's a powerful thing
  798. 35:29so think about your life right
  799. 35:31now think about the areas we've talked
  800. 35:33about your

  813. 36:01you committed to making those small
  814. 36:03daily
  815. 36:06improvements and that's it the key to
  816. 36:09Lasting change isn't found in making one
  817. 36:11big
  818. 36:12leap it's found in the small consistent
  819. 36:15actions you take every
