Welcome to the MWF Motivation Podcast, one of the top-rated motivational podcasts in
the world.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I come out with a short, to-the-point, no-BS podcast
designed to transform you from who you are today into who you want to be.
There's no fluff here, just life-changing content.
My name is Rob Dial, and the podcast starts now.
Welcome to today's episode. If you have not yet done so,
please hit the subscribe button so that you never miss another episode.
Also, I have a quick announcement. If you happen to be a
website designer, I am looking for someone to design my new website. So
reach out to me if you would. My email is robmwfmotivation.com. And also if you
happen to be an internet marketer, someone that's good with funnels,
possibly click funnels, any of those things, and you happen to be a
professional at it, not someone who does it on the side, but someone who's an actual 100% professional,
you've been doing it for years and you have experience,
please reach out to me as well, rob at MWF Motivation.
So whether it's an internet marketer
or a web designer, reach out to me.
Also, last but not least,
if you are someone who has been interested
in taking a shot at my group coaching
and you've been just a little bit hesitant, there is a massive deal that's happening right now in a trial where you can actually try
it out for a tiny little small fee. We could actually try it out for a week. So send me an
email if you're interested in learning more about that. I will send you a video that tells you every
single aspect of it so that you know exactly how it works to see if it's right for you. Whether
it is or it isn't, send me an email, rob at mwfmotivation.com, and we'll be able to see if
it's right for you. But other than that, let's go ahead and dive in. So today what we're going to be
talking about is absolute gratitude and giving thanks. With the holidays coming up, holidays can
get in the way of personal
growth. But I want to tell you this, you should never be too busy for personal growth. Like they
say, the first person to always take care of is yourself. If a plane is going down, you always put
the oxygen on yourself. So by growing and forcing yourself to grow, even during the times when
you're busy and during the times when you're in the holidays, some of you guys are going to be around some of your in-laws and you're going to
need some personal growth to keep you positive. But just in general, what I always say is you
always have to make sure you have time every single day for personal growth. You have to
focus on yourself and have some me time to grow and to make yourself be better because the rest
of the people around you will be better
if you are better as well. And I always say it's personal growth. Personal development is like a
shower. It's recommended every single day. You find time to take a shower every single day.
You should find time for personal growth every single day, even if it's just 10 minutes.
So I want to talk to you guys about gratitude because I believe having an attitude of gratitude to
be gracious and grateful for everything that you have allows you to kick out fear and scarcity and
not have the mindset of there not being enough. Whenever you feel like you don't have enough,
like you don't have enough money, you don't have enough time, or that there might not be enough
for you in the world of whatever it is, take a step back and look at all of the things that you actually do have.
Look at all of the things that you've been blessed with. And even if you have absolutely nothing,
you could still have your health at this point. And what you have to realize is that if you're
listening to my voice, you are in a country that is technologically advanced,
so you probably have it better than other people in the world. The problem is most people tend to
focus on what they don't have versus what they do have. And with gratitude, what it forces you to do
is take a step back and stop looking at all of the things that you don't have and start seeing
all of the things that you do have around you. And the problem is, we always talk about people that are negative and all they focus on negative
and what you want to do is start focusing on positive. It's the exact same thing for gratitude.
There's a lot of people, most people, especially in our society with advertisements and the way
that it works, you're made to feel like you're not enough until you own that product or you buy a new house or you buy a new
car. I want you to understand that when you live in gratitude, when you live grateful, you wake up
and there's a great thing called a five-minute journal where it makes you focus on what you're
grateful for first thing in the morning. And when you focus on something that you're grateful for,
like Tony Robbins says, it's impossible to be mad or sad or pissed off while you're being grateful.
So whenever you feel like you are not on point, whenever you feel like things are not going your
way, whenever you feel like you're not enough, whenever you feel like you need more or that
you're not far enough along or that you're not where you want to be, take a step back,
take a deep breath and look at all of the things that you do have
and look at all of the things that you've done and how far you have come.
That's what gratitude is all about. That's what sitting and actually appreciating all of the
things that you have are. If you have nothing and you just have your health, your health is
something to be extremely
grateful for.
There's a lot of people in the world that are worth billions of dollars that would give
all of their money away just to have the health that you do.
So you have something to be grateful for.
If you have a family that's loving and supportive, if you have a couple dollars in your bank
account, if you're able to eat any food, that's something to be grateful for.
And so if you get anything from this super short podcast, it's that I want you to have
an attitude of gratitude to wake up and realize that you have a lot to be grateful for.
There's a lot of people all over the world, all over countries that don't have enough
food, that don't have enough water, that are being bombed, like terrible things.
You, if you're listening to my voice, have something to be grateful for. And even though you're listening
and some of you might be saying, I don't know what it is, there's something and you can find it.
And the more that you live your life with gratitude and with thinking about all of the
things that you're grateful for, the more you will actually find, the more that you live in gratitude,
the more you will actually be given
and blessed with. That's the one thing to think about. If you can think of all of the things that
you're grateful for and say, thank you for all the things that you have, you will be blessed with
more. I don't know how the universe works or God works or whatever that working power is,
but the more gratitude you show, the more stuff and happiness and health and money and
success and all of those things you will receive as well.
But I'm going to leave you the same way that I leave you every single episode.
Make it your mission to make somebody else's day better.
Because by making somebody else's day better, you will be grateful for all that you do have.
So I appreciate you all.
And I hope that you have
an amazing day. Well, that's it for today's podcast. If you want the show notes for this
