Hi, it's the Broker That Gratitude Guy
0:03
Did you play golf yesterday? I was at a Starbucks recently, I tend to go there a few times, and I heard a couple guys
0:10
talking and it actually turned out there was four or five guys in a circle
0:14
And the one guy goes, did you play golf yesterday? And he goes, oh yeah, I did this, I was at this, I had a tough chip on the third hole
0:19
and so forth. And the other guy chips in, I should play golf, I was so bored
0:24
And the more I listened, the more I figured out these guys were all retired and they were
0:29
talking about being bored, playing golf, when they're going to take their next trip
0:34
oh the wife and I were up to the cabin, and I thought, that's fantastic. But when the guy said I was so bored, it made me realize how grateful I am to have embraced
0:44
gratitude and to become the Broker That Gratitude Guy. But to show people the incredible power of gratitude
0:50
So think about those people in your life that you know and think about where you're headed
0:54
I've come to really not particularly care for this word retire. Every time I think about somebody retiring, I think about, hey, how much golf can you play
1:02
How many times can you go to the cabin? That might work for some people, but what I want you to think about today is, be grateful
1:08
for all these incredible things you have in your life and don't worry about the things you don't have
1:12
And as you focus more on the things you have in your life, you'll find your passion
1:18
Your passion is what takes you up to and through retirement and on and beyond to what you can
1:23
do to maybe give back in this life or maybe something that you wanted to do when you were
1:27
a kid and you said, this is what I want to do when I grow up. Well, maybe in many cases you never did
1:33
So think about that. And the next time you see somebody talking about how bored they are or how much golf
1:37
they're playing or what kind of chip shot they had on the third hole, think about what
1:42
your purpose might be and think about what you're grateful for and think about how you
1:46
may be able to make that into something that you do and you get to impact lives or change lives
1:52
But it starts with you being grateful for your life, for what you've learned and all those great things you have in your life
1:57
And then maybe you can spin that off and do something with your life that makes you completely
2:02
fulfilled inside. And it's not just a chip shot in the third grade
2:07
That's the message for today. Have a grateful day.
