Welcome to Your World Within Daily.

I'm Eddie Panero, and in this episode, I want to talk about something I don't talk about enough, frankly.

It's the idea of gratitude and how taking a second to think about the things you do have,

as opposed to the holes that you need to fill or you feel that need to be filled in life,

provide you a sense of stability and grounding

that really transforms your day, the way you perceive your day, and the way you actually move

and take action in your life. So for a few minutes here, we're going to talk about gratitude

and the impact it can make.

So I think the first time, you know, this really hit home with regard to the magnitude of, or the, just the effect it can have on your life was reading Darren Hardy's compound effect.

And just how much emphasis he places on being thankful, on highlighting those things that are important and that he has in his

life. And, you know, it's really simple when you think about it. If you have, let's say a shape or a

picture, right, you have a square with a hole in the center. You know, you can look at the

hole or you can see the outside. It's just a different way of looking at the same thing, right?

Or those pictures that have two different things. You can focus on one, you can focus on the other.

Well, you always have this, there's always the idea or the premise that you can focus on what's not there,

or you can focus on what's there.

And the way you feel, which becomes the way you act, is very different depending on what you

choose to see. And in that book, I remember every day, you know, he wrote something that he felt

was incredible about his wife and, you know, saved it up

for a year and gave it to her as a gift. And I just thought it was a cool thing, like really

taking the time to notice the positive and what he's grateful for. And I think we could all do

that, right? In the morning, and I say the morning, because that's my quiet time. It doesn't have to be the morning. But, you know, obviously, chronologically sets the stage for the whole day. So taking two minutes to just think, man, you know, these are the amazing things in my life. These are the things that I'm happy for or happy about, grateful for changes things. So today I went outside and I just thought, you know, I'm going to take happy about grateful for changes things.
