This podcast, Lessons from the Pit, is an offshoot of Life Around the Pit, our work we do to help men create and/or optimize their lives to be lives of intention and connection, while using barbecue to teach the lessons. Sign up for the newsletter at www.lifearoundthepit.com/newslanding. 

Today's episode is all about gratitude, and how it can impact our lives as men when we make it a focal point in our daily lives. Gratitude has the power to transform the way we live and the way we perceive the world around us. I believe gratitude is crucial to living a life of intention, especially to us as men.

Quotes or Scriptures:

• Teddy Roosevelt said that "comparison is the thief of joy" and Mark Twain took that a step further and replaced the word "thief" with the word "death". 

• And then the Bible says in 2 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 12 "But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding."

• "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

Remember: BBQ is known for being low and slow cooking that produces a fantastic reward. Life as a pitmaster is the same. You have to put in the low and slow efforts to produce the fantastic reward: a legacy of impact! Until next time: season some meat, start a fire, and make an impact!
