Hello and welcome everybody to another episode of the Uncommon Wealth Podcast.
Gratitude Challenge: List 50 Thankful Things
00:00:31
Speaker
I'm your host, Philip Ramsey, and today we are talking about a simple step, just me.
00:00:37
Speaker
Here it is. I challenge you to write down 50 things you're thankful for. Here's why. If it's anything under 20, I feel like you're just gonna do the same things. But the 30 at the end of, after the 20, I feel like it's gonna get a little bit more complicated, a little harder. You're gonna have to think a little bit harder. But I want you to take that 50 list after that, give yourself one or two action items after you've written down the 50 things that you're most thankful for.
00:01:06
Speaker
What could that be? It could be, hey, I'm thankful for my health. Okay, great. What are you going to do? How did you get to the point where you're at? Where do you want to go in the future? What are your action points because you're super thankful for your health? Or, hey, I feel like I'm writing a lot about my family. Maybe it's something like, hey, I want to thank my family for all the ways that they blessed me in my life. But I feel like it's a really good way to just kind of boil things down.
00:01:31
Speaker
get the static, get the noise out of your life, and focus on what's important.
Impact of Gratitude on Life and Actions
00:01:36
Speaker
Because you've never heard of somebody on their deathbed thinking, oh, I wish I would have worked more, or I wish I would have done this more.
00:01:43
Speaker
I guess the most thankful things kind of come to the top of your mind when something isn't going well. Worst case scenario, you're on a deathbed. So why not just exponentially think about this earlier and then also give yourself some action items before or after you've written all your list down.
00:02:01
Speaker
So that's my simple step. I feel like the attitude of gratitude is a really powerful thing, not only for myself, but when people act on that and start acting in that way, it's the things that change.
00:02:17
Speaker
change other people. It's attractive. It also like just levels people up. So not only am I asking all of our uncommon listeners, but I'm just challenging that to the people that I talk to every day is, Hey, what's the top 50 things you're thankful
Creating Action Items for Gratitude and Self-Improvement
00:02:32
Speaker
for? And that's going to probably take a little bit of time, but writing those out. And then after getting that list, start thinking of some, maybe two or three action items after that.
00:02:42
Speaker
I hope this helps. I hope this kind of challenges you just to sit down, take some time, think about what's the most important, but then after that, do something and challenge yourself to do something. I can't thank you enough for being part of the show, listening. We know your time is valuable. So you've been listening to the Uncomable Podcast. I've been your host, Phillip Ramsey. Till next time, go get thankful, go get grateful, and go do something about it. Thanks for listening.
