Hey, it's Scott back with another episode of the daily gratitude minute. Thank you so much for joining me. Want to tell you a little story? Real brief. Uh, about my morning yesterday. So I set my alarm for 5:15 AM in the morning, got in my car at 5 45. And I drove to the smokey mountains in the dark. So I could see the sunrise at newfound gap, which is one of the prettiest spots to CA smokey mountain sunrise.

And as you can imagine, it was a really joyful morning watching the sunrise, even though I had to get up at 5:15 AM, which I'm used to anyway. For my early morning workouts. Um, I drove for an hour and 20 minutes to see the sunrise and it was actually 31 degrees outside. So it felt a little bit like winter.

But of course all those are part of the experience and none of them were any good reason not to watch the sunrise. But in life, we have a lot of decisions to make every single day. And sometimes it's hard to know what we say yes to. And what do we say no to. Often when we say yes to something we're saying no to something else.

When you think about the decisions you make in life, I recommend filtering them through your values. So for me, I value adventure. I value the outdoors. I value nature, mountain views. So it was easy for me to say yes, Go watch the sunrise, even though I could have spent that time, you know, doing some work.

But work can wait. Right? Perhaps though saying yes to something takes away from family time. And that's your top value? And that example, it should be easy to say no. So as you go through your weekend through the month of October, And want you to start filtering your decisions through your values, if they yes. Aligns with your values.

And it's something that gives you joy, then go for it. But if a guest seems inauthentic to your values or takes away from another value, like family, turn that yes. Into a no. And don't make apologies for, I know sometimes we want to people please and say yes to everything and everybody. Don't make apologies your number one, make yourself a priority and only say yes. To those things important in your life i'm scott colby was say it with gratitude and this has been your daily gratitude minute cheers
