WHY GRATITUDE & CONTENTMENT are DAILY LIFE SAVERS! - Saves my life every single day! - 051

A content and grateful life becomes a platform and a foundation for launching. Boo-ya! Ooh, I like it. I like that, guys. I like it a lot. I like it. Let me repeat that. Being content and grateful in life becomes a platform. It becomes your launching pad. Your foundation, the strong firm architecture, the firmament for launching. I've built many startups, most of them are failed, so Bitcoin is exactly in the place that I like to be. We're gonna end it right there. Give thanks in all circumstances. Give thanks in all circumstances. You know, I am thankful and grateful today. I had a great day, by the way. It doesn't fucking hurt that the weather is awesome and I got to drive the Lambo a couple times today. Perfect. Oh, man. There's just something about perfect driving weather. When there's like, you can sit at a light

for two solid minutes with the windows down and the sun's sitting on you and you don't get hot. It's in a cool breeze going on. Sun shining, just a couple clouds. You know what I'm talking about, guys? I mean, it doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt and certainly it helps when it comes to being thankful and grateful. I had a lot of great conversations today. I had a tight. My day started out, f**king fantastic, guys. I woke up, got to it, sweated it all out, got in the gym, knocked it out, had a great day, had this one guy, Juan, at the gym. He probably doesn't listen so it doesn't matter. But Juan at the gym, he's just one of these really nice guys. Like, I'm gonna talk about this guy. And I just realized that I shouldn't have said his name. Anyway, he's just... I'm

having a moment here, guy. I mean, he's such a nice guy. He's a type of guy that just like when you're doing a set and you might not be struggling, right? You might not be struggling on your reps and your set. But he'll just come over and spot you because he was in the area. And it's not like a, oh, spot you and like, come on, let's go, let's go. None of that. It's just a simple, hey, I'm here. My hands are here and I'm just gonna help you because we've built up enough relationships. We've built up enough relational equity where we've talked a little bit now and again in the gym. And there's just enough where he can really leverage his personality. And his personality is a type to come right up next to you and be your spot, even though you didn't ask

him any and the thing is he's not like all up in your grill. He's not like grinding all up on you. You know what I'm saying? He's back. He's pushed back just a little bit. But it's clear that he wants to be of service and of help. So that's how I started out my day. And then I got a call from a friend and I am so happy for him. I have been telling this motherfucker for like three years, probably longer, that he needs to go off and do his own shit. He needs to go off and get away from the man, get off, sucking from the teeth of corporate slavery and he needs to go roll his own. He gave me a call this morning, guys, and I was ecstatic. And of course, being the humble man that I am, I rubbed it in

happy for him. I have been telling this motherfucker for like three years, probably longer, that he needs to go off and do his own shit. He needs to go off and get away from the man, get off, sucking from the teeth of corporate slavery and he needs to go roll his own. He gave me a call this morning, guys, and I was ecstatic. And of course, being the humble man that I am, I rubbed it in his face at least twice, that I just to verify that he does remember I told him to do this thing years ago. He is now crushing it. He is now crushing it. And he is calling me and he would like a little bit of advice and help. And frankly, I didn't have a whole lot of advice or help for him because he is crushing it. He is

doing amazing things. Guys, it might sound like from another world. It might sound like it's from the another world. Or just it just couldn't happen. But I'm telling you guys, this guy is making about $40,000 a month now. And it's recurring revenue. And I'm just like, screw the 120 grand you are earning a year on salary slavery that took you 14 fucking years to get to. Fuck that man. Let's make 40 grand a month. So it was just awesome. I was just grateful and thankful. So grateful and thankful that he thought of me. He called me, gave, was able to give me such an awesome update guys. Like, how could you not be happy for the brother? I mean, I mean, actually, I just don't know how other people can't not be happy. But I am so excited for his success. Another thing that I'm

grateful for and I am thankful for in all circumstances is that a lot of the projects that I'm involved in are going well. And there's a lot to be grateful for. There's a lot to be content about. There's a lot to be thankful for. And so as I was thinking about today, as rolling out, you know, finishing out the day a little bit here and had a moment to journal, I wrote down gratitude and contentment go together. Gratitude and contentment go together. Like feed each other. Doesn't gratitude and contentment feed each other? Like, you usually use the phrase, I'm grateful for, right? And I'm content with. We never talk about like being stuff. We never talk about stuff like lambo's and houses and all that bullshit, right? Stuff is always secondary in these conversations of what we're grateful for and what we're content with. I

mean, we may never have what we want or deserve, right? We might never have what we want and let's be honest. You don't have what you deserve. And I can be the first one to raise my hand and say exactly, I do not have what I deserve. Because I deserve far less. I deserve nothing. I deserve. I deserve wrath. It's what I deserve and I will leave it there. That's what I deserve. I deserve wrath. But I have and I am grateful for and I am content with and I am thankful for what I have received, what I have achieved, what I have been blessed with. But we already have. We already have everything that we need for success, contentment and a grateful life. We already have everything we need. We have a shirt on our back. We have food in our bellies. We have

it there. That's what I deserve. I deserve wrath. But I have and I am grateful for and I am content with and I am thankful for what I have received, what I have achieved, what I have been blessed with. But we already have. We already have everything that we need for success, contentment and a grateful life. We already have everything we need. We have a shirt on our back. We have food in our bellies. We have water and we might just might have a friend or two and maybe even a lover. We see contentment isn't a passive thing. I wrote this down. Contentment isn't a passive thing and it's not passive and uninformed, right? Contentment is something that we have to engage in. We have to engage with. Contentment needs to be educated. Does that make sense? Like you can't be content if you're not

educated in that which you are content in. You can't. You have to know what the value that's deep inside that contentment. If you are content with life, then all is well. I will tell you guys the moments of deepest contentment for me. Some of the moments of deepest contentment and this probably isn't hard for some of you guys to imagine since you listened to me all the time and you know I love to go to the sauna. You guys know I love to go to the sauna. Some of the greatest moments of contentment for me is right after I'm done. I have burned it all with fire. I have burned it all off. I have scrubbed off the first and second layer of my skin. I have absolutely dehydrated. No, I'm hydrating throughout this but I absolutely sweat it out. Oh, the shit. Oh, the

nationalists. And I get home and I get in my garage. I look at the computer and do a little bit but I never want to stay around the computer and outside. After I get the sound, I want to go straight inside. I want to be as clean as possible and I just plop right on down in the couch and just soak in the juju. The juju of the experience. Burning it all with fire, feeling great and all is well. It might be like 1030 at night which is perfect when I get out of this thing. Because I'm going straight to bed. I already brushed my teeth out the sauna and so I just go straight to bed. But this contentment is of life when everything feels right. When the world is all good. Like this contentment isn't uneducated. I know exactly why I'm content. Because

I've had the ability to have a wonderful fucking day. A day in which I was in charge of the decisions that I need to make. Now, is it always that way? No, because there are days in which I must compromise. But some days, I don't tell you today, it's turning out to be one. It's not done yet. But it's turning out to be one of those days. Started with the weather, started with a great workout, started with a call from a friend who was just crushing it. Talking with the other projects that I'm involved with, everything is going well. Actually, there's actually a lot. I don't want to paint the picture this way. I mean, I started this whole podcast off with gift things and all circumstances. Which means you should give thanks even when things are shitty. And I'll tell you, not everything's perfect

Started with the weather, started with a great workout, started with a call from a friend who was just crushing it. Talking with the other projects that I'm involved with, everything is going well. Actually, there's actually a lot. I don't want to paint the picture this way. I mean, I started this whole podcast off with gift things and all circumstances. Which means you should give thanks even when things are shitty. And I'll tell you, not everything's perfect in my life. There's a lot of things that are shitty. I got people fucking dying around me. The people I care about dying around me. I got people who want to hurt me and do me harm online. I produce content every day in multiple places all over the place. Right? And I mean, there's investors to deal with. There's people to answer to because I've hooked myself onto

those types of wagons. I mean, the whole world isn't great all the time. And this is, I think we can all agree with this. And I don't want to paint the picture that just because today was perfect, everything's perfect. No, no, things are never perfect. Let's put it that way. I think it feels perfect in a moment in time of absolute contentment. But nothing is ever truly perfect. And one of the things I wrote down here, and I really want to extrapolate on, is that this contentment not being uneducated. All right, you know why. You know why you're content. You know why you're content. I don't know what that answer is for you. But for me, in the experience and the example I just gave, it's because I had the ability to have autonomy and mastery over my day. And I got to choose. And

I got nice little random variables like my friend Callamy, and the weather, and driving the Lambo a couple times, like these were just great. It worked out excellent. But even when life is not perfect, we can be content. Because being content and grateful, because remember they call hand in hand. When we're content and grateful, we don't have to ever be anxious. Being content means that we can be patient. We can be patient with what life is giving to us now, which could be a fucking shank in the side of your body, a fucking kidney shot, or we can be patient through the good times too, because those will never last forever either. Gratitude and contentment, I wrote this note down, and I want to end with this. I came up with four ideas around gratitude and contentment. I believe that gratitude and contentment are daily

life savers. Let me say that again. Gratitude and contentment are daily life savers. As I thought about my day, and I wrote notes down of what I did, and who I met with, and thinking about gratitude and contentment, and being thankful for life, I realized that gratitude and contentment are daily life savers. They really are. I'm the one talking here, but I don't do it enough, and I'm a pretty fucking positive guy. Yeah, I drop F-bombs, but God, Leah, I'm fucking positive. I'm passionate and positive. You can say that, say it that way. Actually, there's a great way probably to ridiculously over-simplify who I am. I'm passionately positive, which means I'm always positive, but my passion can sometimes sound like I'm pissed off. But gratitude and contentment are daily life savers. They really are. Do you know why? I'll give you the first reason why.

I'm a pretty fucking positive guy. Yeah, I drop F-bombs, but God, Leah, I'm fucking positive. I'm passionate and positive. You can say that, say it that way. Actually, there's a great way probably to ridiculously over-simplify who I am. I'm passionately positive, which means I'm always positive, but my passion can sometimes sound like I'm pissed off. But gratitude and contentment are daily life savers. They really are. Do you know why? I'll give you the first reason why. Because whenever you are having feeling of gratitude, and remember, this is not an uneducated thing, it's not an uninformed thing, this is a very engaged thing to be gratitude, to grateful, and to be content. These are active, active things. Your mind must be actively engaged in this process. When you are grateful in contentment, because they're daily life savers, when you are grateful in content, you're focused shifts

to the good. To the greater things in life. That's, isn't life all about focus? If we've talked about this before, haven't we guys? Whatever you focus on, is what you're going to become. Whatever you think about all day is what you're going to become. And if you like to program negative shit in your brain, then that's what your life's going to be. Life is about focus, and with having a grateful, a gratitude and contentment, these life savers, think it at them all the time. And every day constantly shifts your focus to the greater things in life. And it's never, almost never. I can't say that. But it's almost never about stuff. Lambos, big houses, and shit like that. It's always about people, relationships. Right? I mean, it's all about the focus. Whatever you focus on, being grateful for. Man, it can breathe. It can breathe

positive energy into your life every day. And man, I'll tell you guys, I've probably told you this before, but there are mornings when I wake up and I, God, thank you for reminding me the first thing that I do. I don't know what reminds me in the morning. And God, but I'll tell you, the first thing I do is I try to smile. Like, you know, I'm like, just waking up, or just that the, you know, life is coming back into the body, right? And I just like, okay, okay, smile. And then I smile. And I'll tell you, that small action for me, it goes a long way. It immediately directs my focus to an intentional act of smiling. And it breathes life, positive juju. You guys know I'm all about that positive juju. It breathes positive juju into the day. Shifting your focus, guys.

Reminding yourself to have an attitude of gratitude, and to be content in life every day. It will constantly shift your focus to the good juju number two. When you, when gratitude and contentment are daily life savers, you can actually improve your quality of life by thinking about being grateful, being content about what relationships you have, what opportunities you have, the job you have, the people that surround you, the support groups that you have, the food in your belly, the place that you're going to be during the weekend. I mean, there's so much to be thankful for in it actually can improve your quality of life. Studies have shown that gratitude and contentment, or studies have shown that, that link gratitude and contentment to satisfaction in life. There is a clear link in my opinion. Now, I haven't studied this formally, and I certainly haven't researched

you, the support groups that you have, the food in your belly, the place that you're going to be during the weekend. I mean, there's so much to be thankful for in it actually can improve your quality of life. Studies have shown that gratitude and contentment, or studies have shown that, that link gratitude and contentment to satisfaction in life. There is a clear link in my opinion. Now, I haven't studied this formally, and I certainly haven't researched it formally, but I will tell you that it makes sense that there is a deep, deep link between gratitude and contentment and satisfaction of life. And again, it's never about the bullshit, right? Your cars, the money, the jobs, the things, houses, even your worldly success. Those things never register for me. At least, I mean, it's always about people. People bring me alive. And the great thing about

being part of so many projects, is it allows me to smash my atoms, my ideas against a lot of different people. And these people don't always agree with me. That's great, because chemistry is made there, right? Explosions happen when people disagree and people rub each other wrong. And there's friction and there's tension. That's good. I don't run from that. It's good. But I'll tell you, man. Focus on it. Focus your time, some time today. Create a behavior pattern. Maybe focus your efforts on smiling during lunch. I don't know. But it actually improves your quality of life. I'm sorry. I like this. I wrote this down. You know, having an attitude of gratitude and having contentment and reminding yourself of how content life can be in life, it reduces anxiety. It reduces stress and reduces fears. It truly does. Are you anxious about something? Think about

what good you have. Are you anxious about something coming up? Job interview, a conversation that you don't want to have. A presentation you're not prepared for. A project that's not completely ready yet. Are you anxious about something? Think about the good that you do have. It kind of level sets you. It's like, okay. You know what? I'm anxious about this project or this conversation or whatever. But you know, I got a pretty damn good right now. Right? That level sets you. It brings you back to reality. What about a stress or a fear that you've got? Right? You know, one of the biggest problems. One of the biggest problems, guys, with fear is fear and mentally moves you into a scarcity mindset. When you're scared, what do scary people do? They clam up, right? If you're listening on podcasts, guys, on Google or iTunes, by

the way. You can't see me, but what do scary people do? Right? What's the image of a scary person? They bunch up. They get small. Right? They get tense up. They close themselves off. When you're scared, you don't open your arms wide. Right? When you're scared, you close down. Right? And that creates a scarcity mindset that there's not enough. I need to save. I need to save myself. I need, there's not, I can't do it. Right? There's type of stuff. When you think of what, I have an attitude of gratitude. And you think of what is so great with your life. What you can be thankful for. The abundance that you have. Then you can be released from that fear. Because when you think about it, you're like, damn, man, I got a lot of shahm. I am resourceful. And I actually have a lot

myself. I need, there's not, I can't do it. Right? There's type of stuff. When you think of what, I have an attitude of gratitude. And you think of what is so great with your life. What you can be thankful for. The abundance that you have. Then you can be released from that fear. Because when you think about it, you're like, damn, man, I got a lot of shahm. I am resourceful. And I actually have a lot of resources at my disposal. I have more than I need. Actually, I talked about this previously, but you already have everything that you need. You have life. You got blood running through your veins. Unless you were fucking vampire. Number four. Man, I like this one. I like this one a lot. Number four. Having gratitude and contentment being a daily lifesaver for you. Thinking about it every bloody

day, please do. A content and grateful life becomes a platform and a foundation for launching. Boo-ya. Ooh, I like it. I like that, guys. I like it a lot. I like it. Let me repeat that. Being content and grateful in life becomes a platform. It becomes your launching pad. Your foundation, the strong firm architecture, the firmament for launching. And what do I mean by launching? Going and doing crazy ass shit. Going and doing amazing things with your life. Because you have an internal success, internal solid foundation. Let's call it your success, your solid success foundation. Right? It's internal. No one can steal that from you. No one can rob, kill and destroy that from you. It's internal. It's in the heart. It's in the mind. It's in the soul. When you're contenting grateful about life and you see that your life is a life of

abundance. You have more resources and you can be more resourceful than you think. Right? You can have you shifts your focus to the opportunities rather than a scarcity mindset. You can go and achieve amazing things. Because the internal platform is ready. It's ready for the world, guys. And that is my best way of describing how I felt today by just being inundated today. Maybe I just got lucky today. It's not like this every day, guys. Don't get it twisted. Trust me. I ain't this jovial every day. But I'll tell you today is a day that made me think that I'm going to be a real man. That made me think that I could conquer the world. Because people around me were conquering their demons. They're conquering their fears. They're launching into the atmosphere. I don't know if they're going to hit the moon, but they're

certainly going to land among the stars. I don't know if I'm going to, I'm going to fucking moon, guys. Give thanks in all circumstances. That's how I started this guys. Give thanks in all circumstances. Have a fucking attitude of gratitude. It will make your life better. It will shift your focus to the good things. It will actually improve your life. It will reduce anxiety, stress, and it will reduce fears. And having a grateful attitude, having a content life, it becomes a platform for you to achieve amazing things. Because you have no fear. Because nothing can rob you of what they can't get. So, what behaviors, what time of the day, what note do you need to write down? So that you are reminded. Me too, me too, guys, to be more grateful every day. It's a fucking life saver. This is Peter, the Bitcoin Lambo.
