- 0:02I want you to imagine something for a
- 0:05moment imagine that every day is like a
- 0:07fresh canvas and you've got the brush in
- 0:10your
- 0:11hand and that brush that's the choices
- 0:14you
- 0:15make now the question is what will you
- 0:19paint you see every single day as an
- 0:21opportunity for
- 0:24improvement it's an opportunity to
- 0:26sharpen your skills refine your thinking
- 0:29and elev your life to a higher
- 0:32level but it doesn't happen by
- 0:35chance you have to make it
- 0:38happen one of the greatest lessons I've
- 0:40learned is this success is nothing more
- 0:44than a few simple disciplines practiced
- 0:47every
- 0:49day failure on the other hand is simply
- 0:52a few errors in judgment repeated every
- 0:55day the difference between these two
- 0:58failure and success Li
- 1:00in the small things you choose to
- 1:04improve
- 1:06daily it's not the big
- 1:09changes it's the little changes the ones
- 1:12we sometimes Overlook that make the
- 1:14biggest difference over
- 1:16time I've summed it up to about 10
- 1:19things that you must improve every
- 1:23day we're going to cover those 10 areas
- 1:25but we're going to move through them
- 1:27quickly so we can move on to our goal
- 1:29Workshop
- 1:32number
- 1:33one the first thing you must improve
- 1:36daily is your
- 1:40attitude how powerful your attitude
- 1:43is your attitude is the foundation on
- 1:46which your life is
- 1:48built if you improve it just a little
- 1:50each day you'll find that it changes
- 1:51everything about your
- 1:54day now you might say Jim it's just an
- 2:00attitude it's just how I
- 2:02feel well I'm telling you it's not just
- 2:05how you feel it's how you see the
- 2:07world it's how you approach problems how
- 2:10you handle challenges and how you relate
- 2:11to other
- 2:13people and it goes both
- 2:16ways your attitude is like a magnet it
- 2:19draws in Opportunities or it pushes them
- 2:23away think about this have you ever met
- 2:26someone who is always
- 2:28negative someone who complains about
- 2:30everything no matter how good life
- 2:35is now how much success do you think
- 2:38they attract with that
- 2:40attitude probably not
- 2:43much and that's because their negative
- 2:45attitude creates a barrier to
- 2:48opportunities on the other hand someone
- 2:52with a positive attitude attracts
- 2:56opportunities like a
- 2:58magnet people want to be around them
- 3:01they want to work with them they want to
- 3:03help them they want to see them
- 3:06succeed so if you improve your attitude
- 3:09just a little every
- 3:12day maybe you work on being a little
- 3:14more
- 3:15optimistic maybe you work on being a
- 3:17little more
- 3:19patient you'll find that doors start to
- 3:22open that you never even knew were
- 3:25there now here's something to think
- 3:28about your attitude doesn't change
- 3:31overnight it's a slow and steady
- 3:35process you improve it bit by bit day by
- 3:39day maybe today you focus on being a
- 3:42little more
- 3:43grateful tomorrow you focus on being a
- 3:45little more
- 3:48resilient the next day you focus on
- 3:51finding Solutions instead of dwelling on
- 3:55problems each day you add a small brick
- 3:58to the foundation of a better attitude
- 4:00and before you know it you've built
- 4:02something strong and
- 4:05Lasting and I'm telling you when your
- 4:07attitude improves everything else starts
- 4:09to improve with it your relationships
- 4:12your work your health
- 4:15everything
- 4:17next you must work on your communication
- 4:19skills every
- 4:20day this is a huge factor in how
- 4:25successful you
- 4:28become why
- 4:30because everything in life involves
- 4:34communication whether you're talking to
- 4:36a friend making a business deal or
- 4:37simply interacting with your family
- 4:40communication is at the heart of it
- 4:45all and the better you are at
- 4:47communicating the better your
- 4:49relationships will be the better your
- 4:51business will run and the more influence
- 4:53you'll have in your
- 4:56community now let me clarify something
- 5:00communication isn't just about
- 5:04talking in fact some of the best
- 5:06communicators don't talk that much at
- 5:08all they listen they listen carefully
- 5:12they listen with empathy they listen to
- 5:15understand not just to
- 5:17respond you
- 5:19see good communication is a two-way
- 5:22street it's about expressing your ideas
- 5:25clearly and understanding the ideas of
- 5:28others and you can improve this every
- 5:32day maybe today you work on being a
- 5:34better
- 5:35listener tomorrow you practice getting
- 5:40your point across without being
- 5:44aggressive the day after that you work
- 5:47on finding the right words to express
- 5:49how you
- 5:50feel each day you chip away at the rough
- 5:54edges of your communication style and
- 5:57you become someone who people want to
- 5:59listen to
- 6:01and here's the real power of it when you
- 6:03communicate better you influence
- 6:07more you lead better you inspire others
- 6:11to take
- 6:13action tell me have you ever had a
- 6:16misunderstanding with someone because of
- 6:18poor
- 6:20communication maybe you thought they
- 6:22meant one thing but they meant something
- 6:25completely
- 6:27different and that little
- 6:28misunderstanding in led to a big
- 6:31problem now imagine if you improved your
- 6:35communication just a little every
- 6:39day how many of those misunderstandings
- 6:42could you
- 6:43avoid how many conflicts could you
- 6:46resolve how much more trust could you
- 6:48build in your
- 6:51relationships it's worth thinking about
- 6:53isn't
- 6:55it
- 6:57next you must improve your selfis
- 7:00displine every
- 7:02day it's
- 7:05crucial you see self-discipline is the
- 7:08bridge between your goals and your
- 7:11accomplishments it's the ability to keep
- 7:13going when you don't feel like
- 7:15it it's the ability to do what needs to
- 7:18be done even when it's
- 7:23uncomfortable and here's the truth
- 7:26without
- 7:27self-discipline success is
- 7:32impossible you might have the best goals
- 7:34in the world the most brilliant ideas
- 7:36and all the talent you could ask for but
- 7:38if you don't have the discipline to
- 7:40follow through none of that
- 7:44matters self-discipline is like a
- 7:47muscle the more you work on it the
- 7:50stronger it
- 7:52gets and you can improve it a little
- 7:55every
- 7:56day maybe today you discipline yourself
- 7:59to wake up 15 minutes
- 8:01earlier tomorrow you discipline yourself
- 8:04to exercise even if you don't feel like
- 8:07it the next day you discipline yourself
- 8:09to stay focused on your work without
- 8:12getting
- 8:15distracted each of these little acts of
- 8:19discipline may seem small but when you
- 8:21add them up over time they create
- 8:24massive
- 8:26results now here's something to think
- 8:27about self-discipline isn't just about
- 8:30willpower it's about creating
- 8:35habits you see when you make something a
- 8:39habit it no longer requires as much
- 8:43discipline it becomes
- 8:45automatic so part of improving your
- 8:47self-discipline is building habits that
- 8:48support your
- 8:50goals for example if you make it a habit
- 8:53to read 10 pages of a good book every
- 8:56day you don't have to rely on Willpower
- 8:58to learn and grow
- 9:01The Habit takes over and your discipline
- 9:03becomes
- 9:06effortless I once knew a young man who
- 9:08was incredibly
- 9:10talented he had all the potential in the
- 9:15world but he lacked
- 9:18discipline he would start projects with
- 9:20great enthusiasm but he would never
- 9:22finish
- 9:23them he'd get distracted by the next
- 9:26shiny object the next new idea and leave
- 9:27the old one behind
- 9:33as a result he never made any real
- 9:37progress one day I sat down with him and
- 9:40I told him you've got to work on your
- 9:43discipline you've got to train yourself
- 9:45to stick with something until it's done
- 9:48even when it's hard even when it's
- 9:50boring even when you don't feel like
- 9:54it and you know what he took that advice
- 9:57to Heart
- 10:00he started small just finishing one
- 10:03little project at a
- 10:05time and over time he developed the
- 10:08discipline to follow through on the big
- 10:12things today he's incredibly successful
- 10:16and he'll tell you that self-discipline
- 10:17was the key to it
- 10:19all another way to improve your mindset
- 10:22is to challenge your limiting
- 10:25beliefs you see many of us are held back
- 10:28not by external circumstance ances but
- 10:30by the beliefs we hold about ourselves
- 10:32in the
- 10:35world we think we can't do something
- 10:37because we've never done it before or
- 10:40because someone told us we're not good
- 10:45enough but those beliefs are just
- 10:47thoughts and thoughts can be
- 10:51changed so each day work on replacing
- 10:53those limiting beliefs with empowering
- 10:57ones instead of thinking
- 11:00I can't do this think I'm learning how
- 11:04to do this instead of thinking I'll
- 11:08never be successful think I'm on the
- 11:11path to
- 11:13success each day you improve your
- 11:15mindset just a little and over time
- 11:16you'll find that your entire outlook on
- 11:19life
- 11:22changes I once knew a man who struggled
- 11:24with his
- 11:26mindset he was constantly focused on the
- 11:28negatives in
- 11:30life he saw every obstacle as
- 11:32insurmountable every failure as
- 11:35final as a result he was stuck no matter
- 11:39how hard he tried he couldn't move
- 11:42forward one day I sat down with him and
- 11:45I told him you've got to work on your
- 11:49mindset you've got to stop focusing on
- 11:51what's wrong and start focusing on
- 11:53what's
- 11:55possible he took that advice to Heart
- 12:00he started small reading a few pages of
- 12:02an uplifting book each morning
- 12:04practicing gratitude each night and
- 12:06slowly shifting his Focus from problems
- 12:08to
- 12:10Solutions over time his mindset
- 12:13transformed and so did his
- 12:16life he became more confident more
- 12:19resilient and more
- 12:21successful and it all started with the
- 12:23daily practice of improving his
- 12:26mindset
- 12:27next time
- 12:30management we have to pay close
- 12:31attention to time it's the one resource
- 12:35we all have the same amount of but how
- 12:37we use it makes all the
- 12:40difference you see time is precious and
- 12:43once it's gone you can never get it
- 12:47back so if you want to achieve great
- 12:50things in life you've got to learn how
- 12:53to manage your time
- 12:56wisely and the good news is time
- 12:59management is something you can improve
- 13:00every
- 13:02day maybe today you work on setting
- 13:05clearer
- 13:06priorities tomorrow you focus on
- 13:10eliminating
- 13:12distractions the next day you practice
- 13:15saying no to things that don't align
- 13:17with your
- 13:19goals each small Improvement in how you
- 13:22manage your time adds up and before you
- 13:25know it you're getting more done in less
- 13:28time
- 13:30and you're focusing on the things that
- 13:34truly
- 13:37matter tell me how often do you find
- 13:39yourself busy but not
- 13:42productive how often do you spend your
- 13:44time on things that don't really move
- 13:45the needle while the important tasks get
- 13:48pushed to the
- 13:52side you see being busy is not the same
- 13:54as being
- 13:57productive and that's why Improv your
- 13:59time management is so
- 14:02crucial it's about focusing on the right
- 14:05things at the right time in the right
- 14:08way one of the best ways to improve your
- 14:11time management is to start your day
- 14:13with a
- 14:14plan take a few minutes each morning to
- 14:17map out your priorities for the
- 14:20day what are the most important things
- 14:22you need to
- 14:23accomplish what can you delegate or
- 14:27eliminate and here's a key
- 14:30don't just plan your work plan your
- 14:32breaks
- 14:34to you see rest is just as important as
- 14:38action if you don't take time to
- 14:40recharge you'll burn
- 14:43out so make sure that you're managing
- 14:45your time in a way that includes both
- 14:50productivity and
- 14:54rest I've worked with many people over
- 14:56the years who struggled with time
- 14:58management
- 15:00they'd tell me Jim I just don't have
- 15:01enough time to get everything
- 15:04done and I'd tell them you've got
- 15:08exactly the same amount of time as
- 15:11everyone
- 15:12else it's not about having more time
- 15:15it's about using the time you have more
- 15:18effectively so if you want to improve
- 15:20your life start by improving how you
- 15:22manage your
- 15:25time it's a daily practice and with each
- 15:29day that you get a little better you'll
- 15:31find that your life starts to fall into
- 15:33place more
- 15:35smoothly
- 15:37next every day you must build and
- 15:40improve your
- 15:41knowledge now I'm telling you the world
- 15:45is constantly changing and if you're not
- 15:48learning you're falling
- 15:51behind the more you know the more you
- 15:53can do the more you can do the more
- 15:57value you can bring to the marketplace
- 16:00and the more value you bring the more
- 16:02rewards you
- 16:04receive so if you want to stay ahead in
- 16:07life you've got to improve your
- 16:08knowledge every single
- 16:10day how do you do that simple read
- 16:14listen
- 16:16study every day commit to learning
- 16:18something
- 16:20new maybe today you read an article
- 16:23about your
- 16:25industry tomorrow you listen to a
- 16:27seminar about personal development Vel
- 16:30M the next day you take a course to
- 16:32improve your
- 16:34skills each small investment and
- 16:37learning adds
- 16:40up you'll find that you're more
- 16:42knowledgeable more skilled and more
- 16:44prepared for whatever life throws your
- 16:48way and here's the thing learning
- 16:50doesn't stop when you leave
- 16:53school in fact that's when the real
- 16:55learning begins
- 16:59you see formal education will make you a
- 17:02living but self-education will make you
- 17:04a
- 17:05fortune the most successful people in
- 17:07the world are lifelong
- 17:09Learners they never stop improving their
- 17:12knowledge because they know that the
- 17:15more they learn the more they can
- 17:19achieve Mr scha was one of the smartest
- 17:21men I've ever met but he didn't become
- 17:24that way by
- 17:26chance he became that way by dedicating
- 17:28himself to to learning every
- 17:31day he told me
- 17:34once Jim the more you learn the more you
- 17:39earn and I took that to heart I started
- 17:42reading listening to tapes attending
- 17:43seminars anything I could do to improve
- 17:45my
- 17:46knowledge and you know what Mr scha was
- 17:53right the more I
- 17:56learned the more opportunities came my
- 17:58way
- 18:00way and the same will be true for
- 18:03you next there is never a good day to
- 18:07neglect your
- 18:09finances you see your financial
- 18:11situation is not just something that
- 18:13happens to you it's something you
- 18:17create and just like any other area of
- 18:20life it requires daily attention and
- 18:25Improvement whether you're trying to get
- 18:27out of debt build wealth or simply
- 18:30create more Financial Security it starts
- 18:32with making small consistent
- 18:34improvements every
- 18:37day now here's the truth most people
- 18:40don't really understand
- 18:42money they know how to earn it but they
- 18:45don't know how to manage
- 18:48it and as a result they find themselves
- 18:51constantly struggling no matter how much
- 18:53they
- 18:55make but here's the good news you can
- 18:58impove improve your financial situation
- 19:00a little bit each
- 19:03day maybe today you start by tracking
- 19:07your expenses so you know where your
- 19:09money is
- 19:11going tomorrow you create a simple
- 19:13budget to make sure you're living within
- 19:15your
- 19:16means the next day you start setting
- 19:19aside a small percentage of your income
- 19:23for savings or
- 19:25Investments each of these small steps
- 19:28add adds up and before you know it
- 19:30you'll find that your finances are under
- 19:32control and
- 19:35growing I'm telling you it's not about
- 19:38how much money you make it's about how
- 19:40much money you
- 19:43keep you see some people make a lot of
- 19:45money but they spend it just as fast as
- 19:48they earn
- 19:49it they live paycheck to paycheck always
- 19:52on the edge of financial
- 19:54trouble but others who make less are
- 19:59able to save invest and build wealth
- 20:03because they've learned the principles
- 20:05of financial
- 20:07management and those principles can be
- 20:09learned by
- 20:11anyone you don't have to be a financial
- 20:13expert to improve your finances you just
- 20:17need to make small smart decisions every
- 20:21day one of the best pieces of financial
- 20:23advice I ever received was this spend
- 20:26less than you earn and invest the rest
- 20:30it sounds simple but it's
- 20:34powerful if you live by that principle
- 20:36every day your financial future will be
- 20:39secure but here's the key it requires
- 20:43discipline it requires the willingness
- 20:45to delay
- 20:47gratification it requires you to say no
- 20:49to unnecessary expenses today so that
- 20:53you can say yes to Financial Freedom
- 20:57tomorrow and that's something you can
- 20:59improve every day your ability to make
- 21:01smart financial decisions to manage your
- 21:03money wisely and to invest in your
- 21:08future tell
- 21:10me have you ever looked at your bank
- 21:12statement and wondered where did all my
- 21:14money
- 21:16go that's a sign that it's time to start
- 21:18improving your financial
- 21:21habits it's time to take control of your
- 21:23money instead of letting it control
- 21:27you and it doesn't take huge changes
- 21:30just small consistent
- 21:33improvements
- 21:35next personal
- 21:37development here's the
- 21:39key life is about
- 21:41growth if you're not growing you're
- 21:44standing
- 21:45still and if you're standing still
- 21:48you're falling
- 21:50behind so every day you've got to work
- 21:53on becoming a better version of
- 21:56yourself it's not about perfection it's
- 21:59about
- 22:00progress It's about constantly improving
- 22:02who you are how you think and what you
- 22:05do personal development is a lifelong
- 22:09journey and it's one that you can't
- 22:11afford to
- 22:13ignore maybe today you work on improving
- 22:16your
- 22:17self-awareness understanding your
- 22:18strengths your weaknesses your habits
- 22:22and your
- 22:25Tendencies tomorrow you work on
- 22:27developing a new skill
- 22:29something that will help you in your
- 22:31career or personal
- 22:34life the next day you focus on improving
- 22:37your emotional intelligence learning how
- 22:39to manage your emotions and relate
- 22:41better to
- 22:44others each of these small
- 22:46improvements contributes to your overall
- 22:50growth and over time you'll find that
- 22:53you've become the person you always knew
- 22:55you could be
- 22:58one of the best things you can do for
- 23:00your personal development is to set
- 23:03goals clear specific goals that
- 23:06challenge you to
- 23:08grow but here's the key those goals must
- 23:12be aligned with your values your
- 23:13passions and your
- 23:16purpose you see it's not just about
- 23:18achieving more it's about becoming
- 23:22more it's about becoming the kind of
- 23:24person who can achieve those
- 23:27goals and that's something you can work
- 23:29on every
- 23:32day maybe today you set a goal to read
- 23:34one chapter of a personal development
- 23:38book tomorrow you set a goal to practice
- 23:41a new habit for 10
- 23:45minutes the next day you set a goal to
- 23:47reflect on your progress and adjust your
- 23:49course as
- 23:52needed each of these small actions moves
- 23:54you forward on your journey of personal
- 23:56growth
- 23:59now here's something important to
- 24:02understand personal development isn't
- 24:05just about learning new
- 24:07things it's also about unlearning the
- 24:10things that no longer serve
- 24:13you sometimes in order to grow you've
- 24:16got to let go of old habits old beliefs
- 24:19and old ways of thinking that are
- 24:21holding you
- 24:23back that's why personal development is
- 24:26an ongoing process
- 24:29you're constantly learning growing and
- 24:33evolving and the more you commit to that
- 24:36process the more you'll find that your
- 24:39life improves in every
- 24:43area one of the most powerful lessons
- 24:45I've learned about personal development
- 24:47is this you attract what you
- 24:51become if you want to attract success
- 24:54you must become successful in your
- 24:56habits in your thinking and in your
- 25:00actions if you want to attract great
- 25:03relationships you must become the kind
- 25:05of person who is worthy of great
- 25:10relationships if you want to attract
- 25:12abundance you must develop an abundant
- 25:18mindset and that's something you can
- 25:20work on every
- 25:23day you can become more disciplined more
- 25:26focused more positive and more
- 25:27successful by improving proving yourself
- 25:28just a little each
- 25:30day
- 25:32next your
- 25:35purpose this one is so
- 25:38important you see purpose gives your
- 25:40life
- 25:42Direction it's the reason you get up in
- 25:44the morning the thing that drives you to
- 25:46keep going even when things get
- 25:49tough and here's the key you've got to
- 25:52work on your purpose every
- 25:55day you got to constantly refine it
- 25:58deepen it and live it out in everything
- 26:01you
- 26:02do now some people will say Jim I don't
- 26:05know what my purpose
- 26:06is and that's okay you see purpose isn't
- 26:10something you find all at
- 26:13once it's something you discover and
- 26:17develop over
- 26:18time and you can improve it a little
- 26:20every
- 26:22day maybe today you spend some time
- 26:24reflecting on what's truly important to
- 26:26you tomorrow you take a small step the
- 26:28direction of your
- 26:30dreams the next day you align your
- 26:33actions with your
- 26:36values each day you make progress toward
- 26:39living a life of purpose and before you
- 26:41know it you'll find that your purpose
- 26:43becomes clearer stronger and more
- 26:49fulfilling here's the thing when you
- 26:52live with purpose everything else falls
- 26:54into
- 26:56place your work becomes more meaningful
- 26:59your relationships become deeper your
- 27:01challenges become opportunities for
- 27:06growth purpose is the foundation on
- 27:10which a fulfilling life is built and
- 27:12it's something you can work on every
- 27:15day I once met a man who had everything
- 27:17money success Fame but he was deeply
- 27:20unhappy he couldn't figure out
- 27:24why one day we had a he had a
- 27:27conversation
- 27:28and I asked him what's your purpose
- 27:31what's the reason you're doing all of
- 27:34this he couldn't
- 27:36answer he had spent so much time chasing
- 27:39success that he had lost sight of why he
- 27:41wanted it in the first
- 27:45place I told him you've got to find your
- 27:48purpose and you've got to live it every
- 27:53day he took that advice to
- 27:56heart he started focusing on what truly
- 27:58mattered to him helping others making a
- 28:01difference living a life of
- 28:05significance and you know what his
- 28:08entire life
- 28:10changed he found happiness fulfillment
- 28:13and a sense of peace that he had never
- 28:14experienced
- 28:16before and it all started with the daily
- 28:19practice of living with
- 28:24purpose next one of the most important
- 28:27things to work on every day is being
- 28:31grateful gratefulness is one of the most
- 28:34powerful emotions you can cultivate and
- 28:36it has the ability to transform your
- 28:38life in ways you can't even
- 28:41imagine you see when you focus on what
- 28:44you're grateful for you shift your
- 28:46attention away from what's missing in
- 28:48your life and toward what's already
- 28:52good and when you do that you attract
- 28:55more good into your life
- 29:00being grateful is something you can
- 29:01practice every day and it doesn't take
- 29:05much maybe today you take a moment to
- 29:07appreciate the people in your life who
- 29:09support
- 29:11you tomorrow you focus on the small
- 29:14blessings you often take for granted
- 29:16your health your home your
- 29:20job the next day you show a little
- 29:23gratitude for the challenges that have
- 29:24helped you grow
- 29:28when you're grateful your mindset shifts
- 29:30from scarcity to abundance and over time
- 29:34you'll find that your entire outlook on
- 29:35life
- 29:37changes tell me have you ever had a bad
- 29:40day where everything seemed to go
- 29:44wrong we've all been
- 29:46there but here's the secret even on
- 29:49those days there's something to be
- 29:51grateful
- 29:53for maybe it's the lesson you learned
- 29:56from a mistake
- 29:59maybe it's the strength you gain from
- 30:00overcoming a
- 30:03challenge when you focus on being
- 30:05grateful even the tough times become
- 30:07valuable and that's the real power of
- 30:11it gratefulness is one of those things
- 30:13that multiplies the more you practice
- 30:17it the more you focus on what you're
- 30:20grateful for the more you'll find to be
- 30:23grateful
- 30:25for it's like a snowball rolling down a
- 30:27hill
- 30:28it gets bigger and bigger with each day
- 30:30that you practice
- 30:33it and here's the best part when you
- 30:36live being grateful you attract more of
- 30:38the things you're grateful
- 30:41for you create a positive cycle of
- 30:44abundance joy and fulfillment that grows
- 30:47stronger with each passing
- 30:50day now being Greatful isn't just about
- 30:52feeling good it's also about taking
- 30:56action
- 30:58you see when you're truly grateful for
- 31:00something you want to give
- 31:02back you want to contribute to help
- 31:05others to make a
- 31:08difference and that's another reason why
- 31:10being grateful is so powerful it not
- 31:13only improves your own life but it also
- 31:16inspires you to improve the lives of
- 31:20others when you make gratefulness a
- 31:22daily practice it begins to change not
- 31:25just your perspective but also your
- 31:27behavior
- 31:30being grateful has a way of softening us
- 31:32of making us more generous more patient
- 31:35more
- 31:38compassionate you see when you focus on
- 31:40what you have when you appreciate the
- 31:42small and the big blessings in your life
- 31:44you start to
- 31:47release that sense of
- 31:50scarcity that fear of not having
- 31:55enough and that's powerful
- 31:58because when you stop living in fear you
- 32:00start living in
- 32:02abundance and I'm telling you living in
- 32:04abundance is one of the greatest shifts
- 32:06you can make in your
- 32:10life gratefulness is like a muscle
- 32:13you've got to work on it daily for it to
- 32:15grow
- 32:17strong every day take a moment to
- 32:20reflect on what you're grateful
- 32:22for and it doesn't have to be big
- 32:26things maybe today you're grateful for
- 32:31the
- 32:32sunshine tomorrow you're grateful for
- 32:35the fact that you have food on your
- 32:37table the next day you're grateful for
- 32:40the lessons you've learned through
- 32:42hardship whatever it is find something
- 32:47even if it's
- 32:48small you see the key isn't the size of
- 32:51the thing you're grateful for the key is
- 32:53the act of being grateful
- 32:56itself now I'm telling you being
- 32:59grateful doesn't mean ignoring
- 33:02problems it doesn't mean pretending
- 33:04everything is perfect when it's
- 33:07not life has its
- 33:11challenges but when you practice being
- 33:13grateful you develop the resilience to
- 33:15face those challenges without being
- 33:17overwhelmed by
- 33:20them you learn to say yes this is hard
- 33:26but I'm still grateful for the strength
- 33:28to get through
- 33:30it you see gratefulness shifts your
- 33:32focus from what's wrong to what's right
- 33:35and that gives you the energy the
- 33:37courage and the perspective to keep
- 33:40moving
- 33:42forward there was a woman I knew who was
- 33:44going through a very difficult time in
- 33:46her
- 33:48life she had lost her job her
- 33:51relationship had ended and she was
- 33:53feeling
- 33:56lost every day seemed like a
- 34:00struggle one day we sat down and I told
- 34:02her you've got to find something to be
- 34:05grateful for even in the midst of this
- 34:09storm At first she thought it was
- 34:13impossible but she started
- 34:16small each day she wrote down one thing
- 34:18she was grateful for no matter how
- 34:22small slowly day by day her perspective
- 34:25began to change
- 34:28she began to see opportunities where she
- 34:30once saw
- 34:32obstacles she started to rebuild her
- 34:34life and today she's happier and more
- 34:37successful than she ever was
- 34:40before and she'll tell you that it all
- 34:42started with being
- 34:45grateful now there's one more thing I
- 34:47want to emphasize about being grateful
- 34:49it's
- 34:51contagious when you're grateful about
- 34:53everything people around you
- 34:56notice it's
- 34:58spreads your positive outlook inspires
- 35:01others to see the good in their own
- 35:04lives your generosity encourages others
- 35:06to be
- 35:08generous your appreciation for Life
- 35:10lifts others out of their
- 35:13negativity so when you practice
- 35:15gratefulness every day you're not just
- 35:18improving your own life you're improving
- 35:22the lives of those around
- 35:24you and that's a powerful thing
- 35:29so think about your life right
- 35:31now think about the areas we've talked
- 35:33about your
- 35:35attitude

- 35:54benefit from just a little Improvement
- 35:56every day
- 35:59and what would your life look like if
- 36:01you committed to making those small
- 36:03daily
- 36:06improvements and that's it the key to
- 36:09Lasting change isn't found in making one
- 36:11big
- 36:12leap it's found in the small consistent
- 36:15actions you take every
- 36:19day that's where the real magic happens
- 36:22that's where the transformation
- 36:25occurs I've seen it time time and time
- 36:28again people who commit to improving
- 36:30just a little bit each day who focus on
- 36:32the process rather than the outcome end
- 36:35up achieving extraordinary
- 36:39things why because success is the
- 36:43natural result of small disciplines
