Like many people, my life have been filled with many challenges including cancer in my family, financial crisis and more I stress than I care to think about. I believe one of the best things that ever happened to me was when my Dad gave me a copy of a speech by Earl Nightingale’s The Strangest Secret. This one speech opened my mind to a new way of thinking more than any of the other personal development tools I had ever listened too.

I was a shy, reclusive person who was not aware of the power of seeing my mind like a garden that I could choose to grow either success or stress in. I did not know until I had listened to Earl’s words I had complete control over how happy I felt by how I directed my mind and how simple it could be to change my life.

When later in life I discovered I was extremely passionate about helping people improve their lives it is because of Earl’s words I created the inner courage for me to move from being shy to being a professional speaker.  You have to believe this was a big step for someone who was afraid to ask a question in class to being the one up front teaching and sharing in front of hundreds of people.

With over 100 professional speaking engagements on personal development now behind me I still continue to listen to Earl’s inspiring words to help motivate me before each time I present. His words are powerful and timeless.

Enjoy a wonderful day,

Sometimes this is easy when the Sun is shining and everyone is being kind to you. Sometimes this is not easy since you may be feeling unhealthy, unhappy and financially broke. But if you have attended any of my seminars over the last ten years you know I firmly believe that where you focus your mind will get you the results of your focus. So focusing on being grateful for the positive experiences no matter how small at least keeps you focused on the good things and this has helped me personally pull through some tough times.

Today I would like to suggest you ‘Enjoy the Joy’ of making a ‘Call of Gratitude’. This simply involves taking up the phone and calling someone and giving them thanks for something that you remember positively they did for you whether it is a friend who picked you up in their car when it was raining last week, the employer who gave you a job after months of searching or the doctor who years ago helped you pull through an illness. Imagine how good you would feel if someone called you today to thank you for something you did in the past.

Now make someone’s day – make that call of gratitude!

Enjoy the experience,

David
