I used to worry a lot.<\/p>\n

About almost everything.<\/p>\n

But ESPECIALLY about money.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been that way since I was a child.<\/p>\n

Until fairly recently.<\/p>\n

It took four decades but I finally found the antidote to worry.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the ONLY thing that has ever calmed my mind.<\/p>\n

Well… a couple martinis would always calm my mind… but it didn’t last long.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo… what a coinky-dink I\u2019m talking about this today… Thanksgiving day.<\/p>\n

\u2018Cuz the surefire, never-fail antidote to worry is…<\/p>\n

Gratitude!<\/p>\n

A real, honest to goodness attitude of gratitude.<\/p>\n

Regardless of circumstances.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re healthy as a horse and making so much money you can\u2019t even GIVE it away fast enough…<\/p>\n

…or you\u2019ve lost everything and you and your Doberman are forced to live in your 10-year-old POS (YOU figure out that acronym) Ford Taurus with a broken air conditioner.<\/p>\n

Whatever conditions you find yourself in, be thankful.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a woo-woo rant from some wannabee spiritual guru spouting new age platitudes.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m probably the most grounded, most pragmatic dude you\u2019ll ever meet.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m here to tell you… after suffering with extreme anxiety and PTSD for years and years…<\/p>\n

…gratitude is the ONLY thing I ever found that freed me from fear and worry.<\/p>\n

It requires no training, no coaching and no expertise.<\/p>\n

The only thing needed is the ability to make the decision to be grateful.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t even really have to DO much of anything.<\/p>\n

When fear, worry and anxiety start to enter your concerned cranium… just repeat the following two
\nwords over and over in your head:<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n

Then think it again…<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re REALLY a go-getter and want to make progress as rapidly as possible… say it out loud…<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n

Listen, I\u2019m not gonna tell you that you only need to do this a couple times and you\u2019ll be free from worry
\nforever.<\/p>\n

This is something you need to do everyday. Like drinking your Bulletproof coffee.<\/p>\n

Several times a day is even better. (The gratitude practice. Once a day is plenty for your Bulletproof
\ncoffee.)<\/p>\n

On this Thanksgiving Day… allow me tell you…<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m grateful for you.<\/p>\n

All the best,
\nDoberman Dan<\/p>\n\"dobedansig\"<\/a>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P.S. My message today is going out to two different lists…<\/p>\n

My \u201ccivilians\u201d list…<\/p>\n

…and my knights in the Marketing Camelot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m grateful for my knights… and I do my best to SHOW it in everything I do.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a knight in my Marketing Camelot, I appreciate you.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m extremely grateful for you.<\/p>\n

So grateful, in fact, I dedicate a part of every morning looking at your name and saying \u201cthank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then I vividly imagine you getting the very best life has to offer you.<\/p>\n

Then I say \u201cthank you\u201d again.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not already a knight, click here<\/a> to discover what knighthood in the Marketing Camelot is all about.<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ll choose to claim your knighthood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Because in only a couple days after you do that, you\u2019ll see first hand (when two different surprises\u00a0arrive in your mailbox) how grateful I truly am for\u00a0you.<\/p>\n
