Well, hello there.
Speaker:My friend, Jonathan Doyle with you once again, welcome to
Speaker:the daily podcast as always.
Speaker:I'm pleased.
Speaker:You're here.
Speaker:We have one mission today.
Speaker:That mission.
Speaker:My friend is to liberate that incredible potential that is within you.
Speaker:It is a good thing to be human.
Speaker:We carry potentiality.
Speaker:There is always more, there is always decision points.
Speaker:There is while you are still breathing.
Speaker:There is still potential.
Speaker:So no matter where your life is at the moment, no matter how you
Speaker:feel about your circumstance.
Speaker:You are not done yet.
Speaker:You are not out of the fight today.
Speaker:I want to talk to you about gratitude.
Speaker:Gratitude is one of those words that has become a platitude.
Speaker:Yes, I know it.
Speaker:Rhymes.
Speaker:Gratitude is a platitude.
Speaker:Gratitudes, one of those things that you see on fridge magnets.
Speaker:It's uh, it's on Pinterest.
Speaker:It's on Instagram.
Speaker:It's like be gratitude.
Speaker:Be grateful to the cosmos.
Speaker:The cosmos wants to bless you with magical unicorns.
Speaker:If you're grateful.
Speaker:Firstly, what are you going to do with a magical unicorn?
Speaker:Seriously?
Speaker:I mean, what do they do?
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:Uh, other animals are useful.
Speaker:Unicorns just prints.
Speaker:They prance around so magical unicorn.
Speaker:Ain't going to do it.
Speaker:So why have gratitude?
Speaker:What is the purpose?
Speaker:First it is a fundamental disposition, right?
Speaker:When you're grateful.
Speaker:Life is.
Speaker:Colored in a different way.
Speaker:You know, there's so many things that we could simply and easily.
Speaker:Focus upon that are gonna make us feel worse.
Speaker:You know, in many ways our moods, our physiology.
Speaker:Our energy levels.
Speaker:Our beliefs about what's possible for us can be powerfully colored.
Speaker:By where we are placing our focus.
Speaker:Of course, if we're placing our focus on everything, that's wrong in our
Speaker:life, on everything that's missing.
Speaker:It's a choice.
Speaker:Remember, and people don't like to hear this.
Speaker:I don't like to hear this.
Speaker:We want to believe that our problems are.
Speaker:Genuinely external that they're caused by something.
Speaker:And if we could just fix that something, everything would be radically different.
Speaker:Of course, there is a place for problem solving, but we want
Speaker:to do it from a resourceful, positive, grateful disposition.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:As I've been saying a lot in recent episodes, you only have to look at
Speaker:an internet browser for a couple of minutes, or look at any form of
Speaker:mainstream media to be radically reminded of everything that's wrong.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I always remember the basis of mainstream media is summed up in the term.
Speaker:If it bleeds, it leads right.
Speaker:Uh, because we are predisposed to fear as a species.
Speaker:We are predisposed to threat.
Speaker:Anything that sort of tells us that things are getting worse or things are
Speaker:terrible, is going to get our attention.
Speaker:And remember that.
Speaker:I guess the, the business model of mainstream media, it's
Speaker:an attention economy, right?
Speaker:It needs us to be focused upon potential threats because if they can do that,
Speaker:Then, of course they get our attention.
Speaker:So what about the decision?
Speaker:To stop focusing so much on what's not there.
Speaker:Look, what's terrible.
Speaker:What's missing is always going to be available.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:It's always going to be around.
Speaker:If you look hard enough, you are going to find.
Speaker:The problems, the lack, the scarcity, the danger, the threat it's it's there.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So let's not pretend that it's not, we know it exists, but the likelihood that
Speaker:you are going to be personally impacted by some of these things is relatively small.
Speaker:So what we want to do.
Speaker:Is begin to gradually practice and it is literally a practice practice.
Speaker:The disposition.
Speaker:Of gratitude.
Speaker:It changes our character.
Speaker:It changes our experience of being human.
Speaker:And look, here's the second major point.
Speaker:You can always.
Speaker:No matter how bad things look you can find.
Speaker:A reason to be grateful.
Speaker:So I woke up this morning, usually I'm up around 4:00 AM.
Speaker:It's uh, you.
Speaker:I got up a little bit later today, but it just struck me as though as a.
Speaker:You know, In the, uh, kitchen near the studio, I was like, it's another day.
Speaker:I'm alive.
Speaker:Like, there are a lot of people who didn't wake up today.
Speaker:There's a lot of people whose journey of life came to an end.
Speaker:Three days ago or a week ago.
Speaker:Just the simple fact that you are able to listen to this, that you have been given.
Speaker:The gift of another single day.
Speaker:Is an Excel in itself.
Speaker:Quite an extraordinary thing.
Speaker:Yesterday.
Speaker:I went and watched a, I didn't play soccer.
Speaker:Football.
Speaker:And, you know, it had been a freezing morning here where we leave, it had
Speaker:been minus six or something, and they'd been fog heavy fog till about 12.
Speaker:And then he was playing at about 1 45 and you know, this, the fog cleared
Speaker:and it was just the most pristine day.
Speaker:And I'm out there and there's just watching him play there's green grass.
Speaker:The sky is blue.
Speaker:The sun was there and genuinely, I was aware of.
Speaker:You know that I was going to be talking to you guys about this concept.
Speaker:And I was genuinely aware of gratitude.
Speaker:I was like, This is good.
Speaker:This is good.
Speaker:Just to be here in this place too, to watch my son and to really concentrate
Speaker:and to, to watch thinking, you know, he's getting older one day, you know,
Speaker:He'll be heaps older, but it just enjoy this moment.
Speaker:And watching him play have gratitude for that single moment.
Speaker:So as you go about your day it's I want to encourage you to have
Speaker:this kind of deliberateness.
Speaker:Around gratitude.
Speaker:You're gonna find something.
Speaker:Even before I came in the studio, I've got an amazing coffee machine.
Speaker:God bless Karen.
Speaker:She, she, you know, always enjoyed good coffee and she bought me a, a
Speaker:really good machine a few years ago.
Speaker:And I had another friend who is a real coffee connoisseur.
Speaker:And, uh, he came and helped me set it up properly and did some
Speaker:research on the best grinder.
Speaker:And, you know, I actually find myself waking up and when I wake
Speaker:up, I'm like, Uh, yeah, it's it's seriously coffee time at that one.
Speaker:Cranking coffee, first thing in the morning and it's high quality and it's
Speaker:gratitude just for that little thing.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So you're going to find stuff if you are deliberate.
Speaker:And there's so many things that we can find gratitude for.
Speaker:And I think if you do it.
Speaker:It begins to really change you.
Speaker:It does.
Speaker:It's just a disposition.
Speaker:It's a disposition.
Speaker:I've got to work at this.
Speaker:You know, some people.
Speaker:They they're just born with this naturally grateful disposition.
Speaker:And a lot of us have got to work at it.
Speaker:It's one of those things that to become a fully integrated
Speaker:human, to become a useful.
Speaker:And by useful, I mean, taking the skills and abilities that you have
Speaker:and deploying them for good in the world, becoming an integrated, useful.
Speaker:Blessing of a person to the world around you is a decision and a
Speaker:choice, and we've got to work at it.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So that's my encouragement for you today.
Speaker:As we look to liberate all that potential it's inside you.
Speaker:Let's get in the business of gratitude.
Speaker:It's a.
Speaker:You know, I've got a bunch of good stuff on today and, uh, Karen Legos is
Speaker:still away in Queensland and I hadn't, and I we're going out this morning.
Speaker:We're gonna have breakfast together.
Speaker:We're going to this nice little cafe.
Speaker:It's gonna be great.
Speaker:It's got.
Speaker:I can tell you something.
Speaker:It comes with goats cheese.
Speaker:I just didn't even know there was such a thing.
Speaker:But we're going to have breakfast together.
Speaker:And this breakfast, my friend, it has goats cheese.
Speaker:Seriously.
Speaker:God bless goats.

Speaker:that you can be grateful for.
