I know you've heard that a million times, but what if today you actually just humbled yourself or humbled me and just really thought through that? If this was your last day, what would you want to be known for? What would you want people to say about you? Think about that as you approach people today. Are you being humble? Are you being gracious? Are you being polite? Are you being kind? Would you want to be known for someone who had a dream and you just stuffed it down because you were afraid of going after? Or you let a story hold you back? Or you let an old failure reinvent itself? In today's world, the past is gone. Tomorrow is just a dream. You have this moment, this day.

When is the last time you just stopped, looked around, and were grateful?

Did you know that 183,000 people die every day? 7,600 people every hour? Every day, every hour we're here today. Sometimes we make gratitude so much bigger than it needs to be.

Success, happiness, joy. And joy. But we don't get to appreciate it. We don't fight stronger without just saying, I'm glad I'm here, Sam.
