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

Can I be your John Walker?….”Good Morning, it is a GREAT DAY!!”

If you noticed that I show up every single day and every single morning and send you a message like this:

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”
– William Arthur Ward

Do you know how I’m able to do this and to not need extra motivation or not need money or encouragement or instruction as to why I’m doing this or if I should do it?

Have you wondered why I’m sending this every morning I write this?

Because I’m YOUR John Walker.

I’m your John Walker dammit!

If you don’t have an incredible attitude in the morning, there is no way you can have an incredible day, this was the message of John Walker to Steve Harvey.  

Steve Harvey explains this way better than I do.

Please take the time to watch this video if you can:

Steve Harvey didn’t always have it easy.

He wasn’t always successful and he worked his way to the top and not without some tough love and mentorship along the way.

There was a time where Steve Harvey was laid off, unemployed and didn’t need to get up early at all yet. This was 4o years ago, before he reinvented his mindset and perspective which allowed him to get great.

He had a wake up call 38 days in a row at exactly 5:30 in the morning.

It was a teacher by the name of John Walker that was calling him, teaching him something, and he didn’t even know he was already in the lesson and the teaching was happening.  

Steve Harvey was getting schooled in gratitude.

Something he was lacking and failing at if it were a class in school.  

Steve Harvey credits a shift in realizing that his attitude was limiting his own personal success and he decided that he could choose his own attitude.

Only He could make that change, his Teacher explained, and Steve decided it was time to change his attitude in order to change the results of his day.

No, I haven’t shown up 38 days in a row with a phone call, but instead more like 180 days in a row here on Substack.

Before that, for about 1800 days on LinkedIn.  

I’ve been talking about the opportunity to choose an attitude of gratitude, and as I’ve learned more and more about the science behind it, I continue to share that information as I know that, just like Steve Harvey, your attitude, dictates your moods and the reality of your life.

A different life starts with different choices and to be very clear your attitude is all your choice whether you like it or not.  

When you “opt in” to abundance, and to realizing that you’ve always had more than enough, you can start to be more appreciative and thankful in your mindset, which will actually lead to more abundance.

The key here in moving in this direction is to start to monitor your thoughts and hold yourself accountable for doing the very best you can to stay present in the moment of now using your breath as a way to come back.  

Practicing gratitude and being appreciative requires being present in the generous present moment of now and the best way to get there is by concentrating on your breath, using something like breathing or another tool to get your mind focus on the physical activity of respiration.

Every single day I offer out my hand in support and today is no different.

You will never reach out to me and have me tell you that I can’t help you. I don’t have time to be a good friend for you because there’s nothing more important to me.

Try me.

If you need a phone call every single morning just let me know. I got you in the meantime please treat this daily writing as my wake up call to you.

I will be your John Walker if you will be my Steve Harvey do we have a deal?

Attitude of Gratitude.

EVERY DAY:

Love

and

Gratitude
