Yeah. There's reasons why some of those, you know, exist, you know, and there are a couple that stuck with me. One was, you know, whether you think you can or whether you think you can't. You're absolutely right. Yeah. Yeah. The other one was more people spend, you know, people spend more time planning to vacation than do planning their lives, you know, that type of thing, you know.

And it just helped me to put into perspective gratitude at that time and that type of thing. And I've always tried to live out of that. But so I don't need help to be happy. You know, I'm very lucky in that sense. You know, I have to fend off things that are going to affect the happiness, you know. As opposed to some people, it's the opposite. You know, they're in a world trying to find happiness.

Yeah. You know, that's real sad to me.

Okay, so part of my philosophy is that you have to take emotions out of the equation and turn things into actions. Actions are more important than emotions. When you're not sure, people who are not sure what they want, look to what you're doing. What you're doing is what you want, actually. That's actually what you want. It's your actions.

Good luck trying to want something else than what you're actually doing. It will always tell you if you're confused about what you want. Look at what you're doing. That will tell you.

Abuse is a big thing of that. I love you, baby, but I'm going to hit you.

Right. So if you operate out of that, actions can help you first. So practice gratitude in actions as opposed to trying to have a feeling of gratitude. So tell people thank you for something. Make sure you show people that you're grateful for something that they've done. Do surprise gratitude, that type of thing. So communicate with people about it. So do the action of gratitude first.

So you're giving them a gift by saying that. When you're thanking somebody, that's giving them a gift. That's what that is. And because we're humans, those words have meaning for us, and so it affects us on an emotional level, right?

so but it's the action of doing it gratitude can operate in many different ways but you can't just say i'm grateful you know that's you can do that a certain point and you can have an understanding of that but it helps to to act act on gratitude first you know how what does what does gratitude look like you know how does you know how can i express it and that type of thing and then you can always remind yourself of it you know by platitudes and that sort of thing oh man
