Here are a few of my own (in order of importance):

1. Jesus (for saving me from a pit)

2. The blessing of God on my life in abundance

3. Family

4. My health

5. Being able to live in Vancouver while owing my own business

I could probably think of MANY more including being grateful for you, Bedros Keuilian, Steve Hochman, Pat Rigsby, Jim Labadie, BJ Gaddour, etc.

Incredible stuff mate…

Gratitude is one of the most powerful states one can be in… it really gets you to an amazing place when you take the time to give thanks and reflect on everything you are grateful for..

Wow where to begin…

1. My family (I wouldn't be here without them)

2. My Andrea – for staying strong and being there for me in tough times

3. My Canadian Family.. They have invested a TON of love in me

4. My Fitness Family… Over the last 12 months I have met and connected with some truly outstanding people who have had such a positive effect on my life

5. For being able to share my experience and knowledge via guest posts on this blog and Steve's and having a positive influence on fellow PTs

6. Our Industry "Gurus" if you will… Chris, Bedros, Steve, Pat, Rocco, BJ, Craig, Brian, Zach, Dax, Nick, AJ and special mentions to Donovan and Sincere… incredible bunch of guys who are totally committed to giving the chance for PTs to become so much more than just a trainer at a big gym

7. My Aussie mates… At times I miss them alot and I am truly looking forward to the day I will be able to visit them more often and them me. They really are family, an amazing bunch of people who will forever be amongst my core group of close friends. Again I wouldn't be here or in the position I am in without them

8. My core group of clients… a true pleasure to work with and I look forward to dramatically growing my client base and adopting them too as family

9. The words and teachings of some of the worlds best coaches… be it the big TR, brian tracy, dan kennedy, napolean hill…

10. The fact that I have much easier access to Rock Concerts, Wrestling Events etc… great stuff

11. Being blessed with the knowledge that at least 1 person on this great earth has lived a better life or made a change in their life for the better because of something I said or because I was a postivie influence

12. Being blessed with the knowledge that to really live a full life you need to continuously grow and contribute to something much bigger than yourself

Chris… THANK YOU for the post and helping me back on the Gratitude Train…

You rock Bro

AT

This is what people NEED to hear. We get so caught up in ourselves and our wants we don't take a moment to reflect at how blessed we truly are.

As you stated above…being thankful for being able to see, hear and walk is paramount. People take these things for granite everyday.

What do you think a person who can't walk anymore would give to run to the waves on the beach???

I find it an honor to comment on this blog because this is exactly what I was talking about in my comments just the other day that attracted the Market Annihilator 2.0 into my life free of charge. Thank you, thank you, thank you Chris!

Below is a a paragraph from James Ray and his program "The Science of Success." I enter it here for other readers to learn from and hopefully incorporate into their lives. For gratitude is the mother of all…

The Law of Appreciation

The attitude of gratitude is developed and turned into a habit by giving attention the the LAW OF APPRECIATION. One of the principles of the universe is that anything that is not growing is dying. Because we know that nothing stands still, we absolutely must be moving in one direction or the other. We also know that whatever you give energy and attention to grows. Appreciation is one of the highest forms of attention.

According to the Law of Rhythm, we are either growing or dying. The law states "create or disintegrate".

Whatever we give energy and attention to–grows.

One of the greatest ways to give energy, attention, and gratitude is to appreciate. The LAW OF APPRECIATION is the way that we can grow and strengthen what we want in our life and in our relationships.

The unfortunate truth is that a majority of people neglect the things that are most important in their lives. For instance, their spouse, their children, their family members, their closest friends… and themselves.

True appreciation does not have to be something grandiose. In fact, most frequently you will find that the small things done consistently i the right places create the major impact. These are the things that are so easy to give, yet so often neglected:

Thank you's
Keeping promises
Common courtesies
Cards and small remembrances
Communicating frequently
Eating well, exercising, rest and recreation

If our lives are not appreciating, they are depreciating. They never stand still.

So… on that note I will leave the 10 things I am grateful for today. This is the FIRST thing I do upon waking every morning. It is such a habit that it is the first thought that pops in my head the moment my alarm go's off…

I truly hope that at least one of your awesome readers finds this comment and starts to implement this into their lives. As you know Chris…this constant attitude of gratitude will change your life for the good in so many ways that it will leave you speechless.

Here is my "10 Things I Am Grateful For Today"

1. Another day on this earth to spend with the people I love.
2. My wonderful wife and soul mate…Judith
3. God
4. My great health
5. My increasing financial situation
6. Living on beautiful Siesta Key Florida
7. Market Annihilator 2.0
8. Chris McCombs, Steve H., Bedros K., for their wisdom, kindness, and generosity. These 3 gentlemen are the finest example of what it means to live a life on purpose…
9. Dr. David Hawkins and his teachings on enlightenment through first hand experience
10. The opportunity to participant in blog with content that is truly life changing and meaningful

Thank you again for all the generous wisdom you have passed my way.

Success to You,

Scott Chmiel

If you want honesty and I know you do. Here is my list most important at the top:

1. My wife – for getting me out the nasty world I got after I caught my first wife cheating on me, ended up in a crazy world for a while, but her belief in me and she knew I could become saved my life
2. my little crazy princess in Maddy ( never knew kids could change your world like they do.
3. Mum ( same reasons as you)
4. My business partner who gives me the freedom to sit back and build our business
5. friends and family
6. my mother in law (yes that is right), for all her guidance as a coach and mentor, she has been trained by Bob Proctor for 20 years so between her and Bob Proctor these are two people that have had a major influence on where I am today, and these are the two that taught me to take action, actio, action
7. my clients
8. cheat meals ( should be more of them)

I wake up everyday and am grateful for just being able to get out of bed.

I can relate to the people that just sit around and never take action.

1. My wife, not only for being my best friend and my main supporter emotionally but also for the work she puts into my business by doing my website, printed materials and apparel.

2. My momma. Seriously I wouldn't be here if it weren't for my mother, she has always supported me and pushed me to be a better person and to succeed at everything I do. And she gave me the money to get my PT Certification! She sacrificed so much for me growing up and for that I am so thankful.

3. My health. While I may have a messed up knee and a jacked up shoulder, I am in the best shape of my life and still getting better everyday. I train to fight and it is not only an amazing workout but so much fun. I must also be mindful that so many people cannot see, hear, talk and walk and no matter how much pain I am in at any time there is always someone who is in much worse shape than I am in.

4. What little family I have.

5. My intelligence…need I say more.

6. The internet. Seriously, without it I would still only have 2 or 3 clients.

Chris, Zach, Bedros, you guys may not be in my top ten, but thank you, not just for all your free info but just for getting me to think about my business in different ways and showing me what to concentrate on and what not to.

I'm sure there's so much more I'm thankful for but I need to get back to working on my book. That's right, my fitness/nutrition/lifestyle book that I would've probably never even thought about writing if I weren't in this business and I had never come across Chris.
