Everything you're frustrated about, you could actually just flip it around and see the opposite is actually true. Appreciate what you have. Frustration about what you don't have is actually a lack of appreciation for what you really do have, because you really have it. I don't have enough money. I don't have any money. I don't have any money. Take out your wallet. Do you have a dollar in there? Yes, but you know that's only a dollar. Yeah, but you have money. You just keep saying you don't have money, but you have a dollar in your wallet right now. You have money. You're lying to yourself. Appreciate the fucking dollar. And then maybe you'll get some. Maybe we'll get another, right? Maybe get a bunch more. Appreciate what you have. What we appreciate appreciates. The richest person in the world isn't the person with the most money. It's the person with the most gratitude. I'm not rich because I have a ton of money. I'm rich because I'm super grateful.
