Where this was said
Jimmy's Relationship With Gratitude
At 29:56 · chapter starts 29:43
The question of who you could be in the absence of your concerns frames Jimmy's discussion of bravery — channelling St. Lawrence, the patron saint of comedy, who reportedly quipped from the flames to turn him over, this side's done. Self-confidence, Jimmy argues with Alex Hormozi's formulation, comes from giving the world irrefutable proof you are who you say you are. His gratitude practice is genuine and daily — he cites Meister Eckhart (via Eckhart Tolle): if the only prayer you ever said was thank you, that would be enough. Chris raises the challenge of high performers who feel success is merely the minimum acceptable standard, never cause for celebration. Jimmy's response: aim to feel like an imposter every 18 months. Keep levelling up so you're perpetually slightly out of your depth. Celebration and gratitude are linked — done right, throwing a party is gratitude in action. [1] — Jimmy Carr "Disposition is more important than position. Where you are in the world doesn't matter. Your disposition is everything." 29:56
