David George Brooke, The Gratitude Guy, Speaker, Teacher, Author and Storyteller.
Our guest speaker on Friday, June 15th was David George Brooke who has held audiences spellbound with his story of survival and how to re-focus and re-frame your life after numerous tragedies and traumatic events. David lost his wife when his two boys were 4 and 14. They are now 24 & 34 and the love of his life.
In order to change your focus and frame your life, you have to get rid of the crap in your brain to focus on gratitude. Clean out your brain. He asked our Club members to do an exercise by describing your Rotary partner, read what you said about them and exchange the cards and look at the words that describe you. "Why do we hear so much about ourselves from others but are really hard on ourselves?"
He is a book author and sells "The Brooke's Daily Gratitude Journal and has a weekly video that he encouraged our members to sign up for free. David gave our Club a very inspiring talk about the joys and benefits of gratitude in our daily lives. Writing a daily gratitude diary will retrain and refocus your life and the quality of life according to David.
