some other people was a very gratifying day when I walked out and got my car the first thing that hit me
0:06
if any of you folks look at me today you ever wonder who your best friend is in this world
0:13
who's the first person you call when you get really good really bad news that's how i kind of
0:18
figured out for me so i wanted to call connor immediately then kind that was one and two for me
0:24
now i was working at uh lows at the time which i didn't care about yours and yours
0:30
pretty good company those but anyway um but but but i just sat in my car and had this big smile on my
0:36
cheeks and i took the room here and i just looked at myself and i'm like so quick and proud of you
0:42
you are trying to help me with this world and you're not having the worst of lumber i really don't care of the lumber
0:51
because i didn't but i realized it was like a nine or nine and a half now and i sometimes it depends and i always
1:00
I didn't drink a bottle of beer and a store coat where I didn't do drugs or do a prescription pill
1:06
I wrote my gratitude journal and I helped some people specifically this jamest lady
1:12
And I was gonna call Connor, but I just wrote back to Saddle, a big smile on my face
1:16
they think, wow, look at the impact that you're having. What is Roe to bring service about itself
1:23
Why are we concerned about weed day? I go to We Day with Mark and there's 16,000 kids
1:27
just like up with people. It gives you such a great feeling about who's coming along next
1:34
But those kids, Rotary, service above self, they're going to need tools too because life can be difficult
1:40
I think in some cases it's more difficult for them today as it wasn't here for them
1:44
But it's so important to have some tools. So the last thing I talk about, embrace gratitude
1:52
It takes as long as it takes till they ever give up, make room for gratitude. Get a gratitude journal
1:56
If you get one of mine, fantastic. If not, get a spiral. try it I on the radio fairly not fair off a few times rather What your last comment Gabe for the people on the radio today Just try gratitude germ So I dated this gal once And she said she was on the subject
2:15
She was on, I'm kind of impressed. So this, yeah, I'm a gratitude. I got to try it to German. I was trying for a week
2:20
She goes, it's really late. Oh, fine. I think a little, that's good excuses about it
2:27
I mean, it's just, it's fine. It makes a big difference. But what happens is the thing, think about service above self
2:34
think about rotary. think about how when you help other people, if you want to help yourself, help other people
2:40
So to me, one of the things I do all the time is talk about why do I share it
2:45
Why do we all share the, I've already heard it, District Compton barely even started
2:49
and things we're passionate about. Holyo, water, and all these different types of things
2:53
that you're helping somebody else. It makes such a huge, huge difference
2:59
So I realized when I'm sharing gratitude, that that's ultimately, kind of the thing that makes such a big difference
3:08
And again, you can make a difference in people's lives and that's what's so important. So, well, that reminds me
3:13
Does everybody have business cards here for the most part? Let's just do this for a suit
3:19
So I want to do away a look real fast. Can you guys just, why want to talk about something
3:23
Can you guys, do, can you just get their cards? I want to draw their books. I'm going to wrap up five, ten minutes
3:29
Now, let's put the car. Oh, and by the way, I do send out a video. If you don't want the video, put an X on your card
3:34
because I send out a two-minute video every Monday morning in 7.45. But I do want to say something why she's collecting those
3:42
How many people here have ever written a book? Not easy. Dave? Not easy
3:50
Well, there's ways that can help you, but I'll tell you, I made no bones about the fact that this is just a journal
3:57
and I've done some books too, but it is hard work, but you're trying to contain your message
4:02
I remember, I tried to hold a few that let's draw from books, I can get away of journal and what have you
4:08
And it was about six months ago. I forget what it was, I think it was a Kiwanis
4:14
It was a good-sized group. And so they do the whole thing I get the cards I pull out out the card and Sally Smith They all laugh and Sally comes up right in the center and I get the big smile
4:27
and I say, hey, here you go, Sally, and I hand her the book, and she smiles, and I get to her
4:31
and they say, hey, by the way, if I'll sign that for you later, she goes, that's okay
4:35
So, if you want me to sign it, I'll pay you 20 bucks
4:51
I think she was looking for John Prish for something. Anyway, and I will say this, I was thinking about this driving up today
4:59
I usually give away one of my other books, and the biggest thing I sell by far is the journal
5:03
These journals sell for $15. And I try not to give away because people don't seem to take it as seriously if they don't buy it
5:09
Okay, but I'm going to give one today because I just feel that I think I'm going to start knowing this is
5:13
I'll say to people that book you want, did you write in it? It takes five minutes a day
5:17
Well, I'm working on it. But if they pay 15, they don't seem to do it as much
5:21
So, um, thank you very quick here. So somebody had a computer up here
5:26
Your hand, please write it. Um, Laura. Laura. I have you a lot
5:35
I just drew your car. I know, but I'm not. What you said
5:41
What did you say? You need Starbucks? That's right. Okay, look. Wendy. Jefferollable. Harry. Wendy
5:55
You bring a heart. Thank you. I was going to hold. All right, I think you're a little better way
6:01
I can't take it, it's funny. Alright, last couple of the things I'm going to talk about
6:07
is about this sharing gratitude. So, I think you came by the person
6:14
So, by show of hands here, how many people have used their smartphone since I've been talking today
6:21
Wow, nobody's who's like, no one. Does anyone use this one Has anyone used this one That not since he been talking about it So they working all right now You have to get it to work We take them out anyway
6:36
I'm mad to do something real fast. Whatever phone you've got. So I call this the four T's
6:43
And I was having trouble when I was selling some things earlier in my spirit and it wasn't working when I got to go on time
6:48
I think it was wronging on the hotel then. But here's what I want you to do
6:53
And I got five dollars and it said wrong me. It's about four T's
6:57
I want you to text, tweet, telephone, or tell somebody in your world how great
7:03
through you are going to have them in your life? And you've got 60 seconds, doing it as fast as you can
7:08
And even if you text them, I may not go through right now, but you can do it later. So text, tweet, telephone, somebody, keep it to yourself, nobody's business who is, and tell them how great to you're going to have one for your life
7:19
I'm going to tell them. You've had teens. I'm not saying it's not a second
7:28
I can't find that's not on. It's not the home. Dale, good job
7:38
Good job. We're going to all the street. We're going to be a cheer. Okay
7:45
Good job. Good mind. Good lines. Okay, stop
7:55
Okay, so I can always tell the type of truth because most people are texting
8:00
so they're going like this, and then occasionally you'll see somebody with others who I felt like you over
8:04
and I'm so grateful for you. And then every so often, somebody actually uses this
8:08
as this was originally designed, which is called a telephone. And so I'm doing a thing
8:13
in a performing art center the other day, and it's like a big group like this. I can hear this person right over until I'm guessing
8:19
that's your husband, and she's going, I just want to tell you how grateful I am for you
8:23
I'm going, I don't know some speaker just holding on your time
8:28
No, no, you're ruining the whole thing here. So, sharing, when you get something you're excited about, you want to share
