The Daily G.I.F.T. from The GratiDude

At that point, I fell in love with this goofy skinny Canadian guy because anybody that gets invited to a huge sporting event and all they can think about is bringing their prized good luck sound making bell is someone of my heart and authentic beautiful spirit that should be celebrated.

Ring that damn bell as loud as you can, my brother!

Yes, gratitude can help your immune system: 

White blood cell count: A study from the University of Utah found that people who practice gratitude have higher white blood cell counts, which can help your body fight off illness. 

Stress reduction: Gratitude can help calm your nervous system, which can lower your blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. 

Improved sleep, mood, and overall well-being: Gratitude can improve your sleep, mood, and overall well-being. 

Reduced depression and anxiety: Gratitude can decrease depression and anxiety. 

Reduced chronic pain and disease: Gratitude can decrease chronic pain and the risk of disease. 

Improved cardiovascular health: Gratitude can improve your cardiovascular health. 

Longer life spans: Gratitude can be linked to longer life spans. 

Some ways to practice gratitude include: 

Writing down gratitude before bed, sharing gratitude around the dinner table, Marveling at your body’s finely tuned machinery, savoring a delicious meal, and thinking back on an awesome moment, being thankful The GratiDude writes you love notes every morning, etc.

Think about your greatest experiences in your life, and they always entail other people and they are never solo acts because the solo act no matter how great it never gets any applause at the end.

We are social creatures and separation is an illusion that is carried out through the perceptions of our bodies and the limitations of our senses.  That doesn’t make that shit real, that just makes our senses very limited and the opportunity for learning and growth all the more vast.*

*(our optic nerves, for example, are limited compared to other animals…..What types of light can humans not see?

We see our world in a huge variety of color. However, there are other “colors” that our eyes can’t see, beyond red and violet, they are: infrared and ultraviolet. Comparing these pictures, taken in these three “types of light”, the rainbow appears to extend far beyond the visible light..)

When I write stuff and recommendations like getting off your ass and getting out and helping somebody when you’re not feeling good, I hope you know that this is proven through my own practice, and I never asked anybody to do anything that I wouldn’t be willing to do or that, I haven’t done myself. 

To be clear, that’s why I was successful in leading sales teams and organizations because I didn’t ask people to run through a brick wall. I ran through the fucking brick wall first.

Ask somebody if you don’t believe me.

I’m an old school leader I walked to talk. I say what I mean and I mean what I say..

I make mistakes I learn from them and that’s gratitude.

DISCLAIMER- If you experience any tingling sensations, “oh, wow” moments, or even tears when you read my daily meditation, please don’t ever for a moment think that KC deserves the credit. HA! No way OJ.

Anything great that comes from Kevin Arthur Carpenter always comes and ALWAYS HAS come from something MUCH BIGGER than me. I am merely one of many chosen Delivery Mechanisms given a gift of communication and connecting. I have these gifts NOT to just make money, but to pass through the love of the Universe to those having trouble receiving the signal.

I’m a Delivery Driver known as The GratiDude, that’s all.

And, you would never think of giving credit for the taste of pizza to the kid that dropped it off at your door. He didn’t cook it.

You don’t give credit for the quality of the ingredients to the delivery boy.  That goes to the pizza Chef, in other words that goes to the Universe and to God, the Source of all love, energy, light, life, and pizza for that matter.

Thanks and praises for my 30 year friendship with my brother Gavinator, who is visiting from Colorado and seems to have brought the frigid-ass temperatures to Florida on that Southwest Airlines flight into SRQ. Ha ha, all good! So great to have him in my Bachelor Bungalow By The Bay.

We’re coming into OUR SEASON everybody, because if you’re reading this right now, you are a leader in your family, your business, your organization, and your community with your mindset of abundance and growth and what we call in a general sense,  living a life of gratitude. 

It is critical that we share with our friends and family as we congregate during the season on the ways that they too, can weave this spirit of gratitude and appreciation into a year round way of life so that they can feel more happiness and contentment year-round and not just during Thanksgiving.

We owe it to our community to share the knowledge and the wisdom that we’re all learning from each other in our process of growth.

Profound knowledge needs to be shared in the community and spread to all the edges. Just like peanut butter on bread.

Spread your peanut butter this weekend for me, and I prefer extra crunchy with an attitude of gratitude.
