Pombo Live. Filmed every day live.<br> <br> <br> <br> Today we’re coming to you from Grants Pass, Oregon here at the headquarters for BrianJPombo.com and we’re going to be talking about gratitude and goal setting.<br> <br> <br> <br> Really, in terms of the holiday season, it occurred to me today as I was sitting back and looking at what has occurred over the last couple of years for me. I’m very grateful, for lack of a better word blessings that have happened in my life.<br> <br> <br> <br> You know, really great things. Stuff you couldn’t even plan for honestly.<br> <br> <br> <br> A lot of stuff that came with hard work and a lot of the things that I can see in the near future and the present that are all happening because partially from hard work and paying attention and doing what doing what you need to do and at the same time just magical serendipities that just happened along the way.<br> <br> <br> <br> Stuff you can’t possibly plan for and I was thinking about the holidays and it hit me that we start the holiday season every year, just around Halloween time and Halloween’s fun and it really doesn’t have a deep meeting to it, at least from my perspective.<br> <br> <br> <br> But then you’ve got Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving is a very specific time of gratitude.<br> <br> <br> <br> It’s all about being grateful for what you have and what you’ve gone through and the blessings that have happened in your life. I can see that and there’s a lot of people talk a lot about gratitude nowadays or being grateful and some people say there’s different definitions of that.<br> <br> <br> <br> I’m not gonna go into the depth of those definitions, I think, you know what I mean. It’s all about really giving thanks, for where you’re at and just acknowledging that you’re still alive, you’re still breathing.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you don’t have great health, you probably have decent health. If you don’t have decent health, you’re still alive. You’re still hanging in there.<br> <br> <br> <br> So no matter what, you always have something to be grateful for.<br> <br> <br> <br> Let alone if you’ve had great successes or anything else with your life, but then that always seems to contradict.<br> <br> <br> <br> I think a lot of us think that that contradicts the concept of goal setting and of, you know, growing into the future and the whole push that they’re even starting right now for new years in terms of setting your resolutions.<br> <br> <br> <br> The goal setting, the big goal for the new year and all that, all that stuff.<br> <br> <br> <br> It’s funny to me because I think that both are necessary to an extent. I’m not a big new year’s resolution person and I’m not a big, you know, I’m going to put out a huge post on how all the things I’m thankful for for during Thanksgiving.<br> <br> <br> <br> I think both those concepts need to be happening all year round.<br> <br> <br> <br> I know that’s cliche, I know, but I honestly think that those two things specifically need to be happening in conjunction with each other. You can’t just be sitting back and say all how great my life is, how wonderful my life is. All this is just wonderful.<br> <br> <br> <br> Every day I wake up in the morning, I just look out outside and just just smile and just amazement of how wonderful everything is because if you’re like that,
