Summary

In today's episode, I share a powerful mindset trick that propels me towards a life of fulfillment, gratitude, and abundance. I wake up each morning embracing the 24 hours ahead, living as if they're a guaranteed gift—except for the last day. This perspective fuels my gratitude, helping me find the light, love, and lessons in every situation. From losing over $100 million and facing bankruptcy to experiencing the profound humility and blessings that followed, I've navigated through life's ups and downs with this mindset. Transforming pain into promotion and protection, embracing accountability, and learning to live in a state of abundance ensures happiness, health, wealth, and worthiness through gratitude, forgiveness, and the power of giving meaning to our experiences.
