| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Game Changer Life. |
| 0:14.8 | I'm Dave Anderson. |
| 0:16.3 | I want to talk about the positive power of gratitude. |
| 0:20.7 | What a wonderful word. What a great topic. What a great |
| 0:23.5 | mindset. Gratitude. Are you grateful or are you entitled? Because you really can't be both |
| 0:30.0 | simultaneously. I talked a little bit about this a few episodes back in the entitlement episode. |
| 0:36.8 | But we're going to really focus on gratitude. |
| 0:38.9 | I believe the more grateful you are, the less entitled you become, which makes you more desirable. |
| 0:44.4 | People want to do even more for you. You have more energy, more enthusiasm, more focus, more |
| 0:50.0 | passion, right? All those key game changer traits that you're bringing day in and day out. |

| 1:33.9 | energy, enthusiasm, excellence, passion, attitude, focus, and integrity, and bringing them in the |
| 1:39.0 | right measure more consistently, more often. And so, listen, if you're a grateful person, |
| 1:44.1 | you're going to be bringing more of that stuff. |
| 2:00.6 | And if you're not, you're not going to get to that game change your status. Or if you're there, you're going to slip out of it. Because remember, the four groups are not permanent verdicts. Just because you're not in one doesn't mean you can't climb up the ladder. And just because you're at the top, doesn't mean you can't descend to the bottom. |
| 2:05.0 | If you have a change in mindset, a let-up in performance, you can end up right back down an undertaker status. So this is really important, talking about gratitude, especially |
