[Music] we live in a world where people always want more more money more success more recognition but when was the last time you stopped and said I'm grateful for what I already have when was the last time you looked at your life your struggles your victories and just said uh thank you you see too many people wake up every day and focus on what they don't have they focus on the car they wish they could afford the house they don't live in yet the career that hasn't taken off but that mindset that way of thinking
it kills you inside it makes you feel like you're behind like you're not enough and that's a lie gratitude isn't about settling it's not about saying oh I guess I'll just be happy with what I've got and never try for more number gratitude is power gratitude is waking up and saying I am thankful for what I have but I'm still going to go out and earn more it's looking at every obstacle you've overcome every bit of progress you've made and realizing you've already won some of you woke up this morning and the first thing you
did was complain maybe your job sucks maybe your bank account isn't where you want it to be maybe life hasn't been kind to you but guess what you woke up that alone is a gift that alone is something to be thankful for because there are people who didn't wake up today people who were here yesterday and are gone today and you you have another shot another day another another opportunity so what the hell are you doing with it you have food to eat be thankful you have a roof over your head be thankful you have
people who love you be thankful you have yourself be thankful but no you want more you think I'll be happy when I have more money I'll be happy when I have a better body I'll be happy when people respect me but that's not how this works happiness isn't something you chase it's something you choose right now in this moment with whatever you have you want a better life it starts with appreciating the one you already have there are people out there with less than you and they're working harder than you there are people out there
with fewer resources fewer opportunities and they're grinding every every single day and you you have more than them but you're sitting around feeling sorry for yourself why you see the difference between successful people and people who stay stuck isn't just hard work it isn't just Talent it's gratitude it's the ability to wake up look at what you have and say this is enough for today but I'm still going to push for more because if you can't appreciate what you have right now you'll never appreciate what you get later you could have a million dollars and
still feel like you're broke you could be at the top of the mountain and still feel like it's not enough you have to train your mind to see the blessings not just the struggles do you know how powerful it is to shift your focus to wake up and instead of thinking I have to go to work say I get to go to work instead of saying I hate my life say I get to improve my life do you understand what happens when you do that your whole world changes gratitude changes your energy it changes your
drive it makes you work harder because you're not coming from a place of lack you're coming from a place of power you're no longer chasing things because you feel empty you're chasing them because you already feel full and you want more the most dangerous man in the world isn't the one who has everything it's the one who appreciates everything and still wants more that's the guy who can't be stopped that's the guy who wins so I don't care what your excuses are I don't care what you think you're missing you have everything you need inside
of you right now you just have to open your damn eyes and see it be thankful for every moment for every failure cuz it taught you something for every setback cuz it made you stronger for every person who doubted you cuz it fueled you be thankful and then go to work cuz life isn't about sitting around waiting for things to change it's about grinding every single day with gratitude in your heart fire in your soul and the belief that no matter where you are right now you are already blessed beyond measure so stop whining stop
looking at what you don't have stop making excuses be thankful for what you have and then go earn more this is your life own it you have to understand something gratitude is a weapon it's a shield against negativity against doubt against fear when life hits you hard when things don't go your way gratitude is what keeps you standing it reminds you that no matter how bad it gets you still have something to fight for too many people walk through life like their victims they act like life owes them something like success happiness and peace are
supposed to just fall into their laps but life doesn't owe you anything the world doesn't care how bad you had it the world doesn't care about your excuses you know what life responds to action hard work gratitude because when you wake up every day and say thank you thank you for this breath thank you for this chance thank you for this pain that's making me stronger you become Unstoppable the universe rewards people who move forward not people who sit around feeling sorry for themselves some of you complain about what you don't have but do you
even realize what you do have if you have your health you're blessed if you have a roof over over your head you're blessed if you have clean water food to eat you're beyond blessed if you have people who care about you you're rich but note you're sitting there scrolling on your phone comparing your life to people on the internet you're looking at someone else's house someone else's car someone else's highlight reel and thinking why don't I have that instead of asking what can I do with what I already have listen to me you already have
enough to start whatever dream you have whatever goal you're chasing you have enough right now to take the first step but you won't move forward if you keep focusing on What's Missing You have to train your mind to see the opportunity in everything got a job you hate be thankful you have one while you work on something better feeling stuck be thankful you have a chance to change your situation struggling be thankful you're strong enough to handle it because there's always two ways to look at a situation as a curse or as a lesson and
if you're learning you're winning some of you are waiting for the perfect time you think you'll be happy when you have more money when you lose weight when you get that promotion but what if I told you you could be happy right now not because everything is perfect but because you decide to see things differently happiness isn't in the future it's a choice you make today think about this if everything was taken away from you tomorrow would you still be grateful for what you had today if the answer is yes then act like it stop
taking things for granted stop treating your blessings like they're normal they're not you have something right now that someone else is praying for someone wishes they had the opportunities you have someone wishes they had the body you have someone wishes they had the freedom you have and here you are sitting around complaining because your life isn't exactly how you want it to be wake up you have a choice sit around and feel sorry for yourself or wake up every day and make something out of what you've got you can be the person who waits for
something to change or you can be the person who changes everything gratitude is the foundation for Success you want more start by appreciating what you have you want to go further start by realizing how far you've already come because the truth is you're already winning if you're still breathing you're winning if you have another day to fight you're winning if you can still work learn grow love you're winning and once you start seeing life that way you become Untouchable you stop needing validation you stop looking for shortcuts you stop making excuses because you realize you
already have everything you need to win so no more complaining no more waiting be thankful for what you have and then go get more this is your life Make It Count you want to change your life you want to be successful start with gratitude not tomorrow not next week right now because the way you look look at your life will determine how far you go gratitude is not about ignoring your problems it's not pretending that everything's perfect it's about recognizing that even in the middle of the storm you still have something to be thankful for
and that mindset that's what separates winners from quitters you have two choices every day wake up and focus on everything that's wrong wake up up and focus on everything you have to be grateful for one of those choices will keep you stuck the other will set you free think about this have you ever noticed that the people who complain the most are also the ones who struggle the most it's not a coincidence their focus is on everything they don't have everything that's missing everything that went wrong and because of that they stay exactly where they
are but winners they see things differently they wake up and say yeah life is hard yeah I have struggles but I also have opportunities I also have a chance I also have the ability to work to grow to improve they don't wait for the world to hand them something they go out and take it and guess what you can do the same some of you are sitting there're thinking but my life is too hard yeah well guess what it's hard for everybody life is tough life is unfair life will knock you down but that's not
an excuse to quit that's a reason to fight harder if you want to be successful you have to stop seeing yourself as a victim you have to stop focusing on What's Missing and start using what you already have because no matter where you are right now you have something to work with no money you still have time no opportunities you still have effort no support you still have yourself and that's enough the most powerful people in this world didn't start with everything handed to them they didn't wait for permission they didn't wait for the perfect
moment they started where they were use what they had and built their way up and you can too but it starts with gratitude it starts with realizing that every little thing you have is a stepping stone every bit of progress you make is a win every lesson every struggle every challenge is shaping you into the person you need to become so stop feeling sorry for yourself stop wishing for things to be easier be thankful for the struggle be thankful for the lessons be thankful for the fire that's shaping you into something stronger because the truth
is you don't grow when things are easy you grow when things are hard you want a better life start appreciating the one you already have you want more opportunities start showing up for the ones you already have you want success start acting like you're already blessed because you are you just need to see it so today I want you to do something right now stop what you're doing and take a deep breath think about your life think about the things you've been taking for granted think about the things you've been complaining about and then say
say thank you thank you for the struggles thank you for the lessons thank you for another chance to fight because once you start seeing life this way once you start living with gratitude nothing can stop you be thankful for what you have and then go to work this is your life own it look around you right now look at everything you have the air in your lungs the clothes on your back the roof over your head you might think it's nothing but to someone else it's everything someone out there is praying for what you take
for granted someone is praying for your job no matter how much you hate it someone is praying for your health no matter how much you complain about your body someone is is praying for your problems because to them it would mean they're still alive to fight another day and here you are drowning in self-pity telling yourself life isn't fair number life is what you make it you can't control everything that happens to you you can't change the past you can't undo the struggles you've been through but you can control how you see them you can
sit there and let them break you or you can let them build you you can complain or you can adapt you can focus on What's Missing or you can get up and use what you already have gratitude is not about settling it's not about saying I'll just accept my life the way it is number it's about recognizing your strength it's about realizing you already have what you need to move forward it's about using that energy to put harder to grow stronger to become Unstoppable you want to know the truth people who fail focus on what
they don't have people who win focus on what they do have and make the most of it it's that simple so I need you to ask yourself what have you been taking for granted what blessings have you ignored because you were too busy wishing for more your health your family your mind your abilities because one day you're going to look back and realize how lucky you were one day you're going to wish you had appreciated these moments more one day you're going to wish you had spent less time complaining and more time using what you
had to build something better and when that day comes it'll be too late so don't wait until it's gone to appreciate it be thankful now be thankful for the lessons be thankful for the strength you've built through struggle be thankful for the Second Chances you've been given and then go after more because gratitude is fuel it's the fire that drives you forward it's the voice in your head that says I've already come so far and I'm not stopping now you want to change your life start by changing your focus wake up every morning and say
thank you thank you for the chance to fight thank you for the opportunity to grow thank you for the strength to push forward and then get up and make the most of it because this life it's a gift don't waste it be thankful work hard keep going this is your life life own it do you know what separates the great from the average it's not Talent it's not luck it's not even discipline it's perspective the ability to see what you have and turn it into something more most people fail because they spend their whole lives
waiting waiting for things to get easier waiting for the perfect opportunity waiting for motivation to magically show up but winners they don't wait they don't sit around feeling sorry for themselves they don't focus on what's missing they use what they have you want more out of life then stop looking at what's wrong and start appreciating what's right stop saying I wish I had more money I wish I had more time I wish I had better opportunities and start saying I'm thankful I have another day to fight I'm thankful I have the ability to improve I'm
thankful I have the strength to keep going because everything you need to get started is already inside of you the problem is you're too focused on what you don't have to realize it look at the most successful people in the world the greatest athletes the most powerful entrepreneurs the strongest Warriors they all started with nothing but they didn't sit around complaining they didn't make excuses they used what they had and built from there and you can do the same so what's stopping you what excuse are you holding on to what lie are you telling yourself
that you don't have enough time that you don't have the right resources that life isn't fair guess what life isn't fair it never was and it never will be but that's not an excuse to quit it's a reason to fight harder you can sit there and complain or you can get up and work with what you've got and if you keep working keep grinding keep pushing forward eventually you'll have more gratitude is not about being passive it's not about saying I'll just accept my life as it is number it's about realizing that even now even
in the struggle you have something to work with no money you have time no resources you have effort no support you have yourself and that's enough you don't need everything to be perfect to start you don't need all the answers you just need to start where you are with what you have and refuse to stop be thankful for every challenge because it's making you stronger be thankful for every setback because it's teaching you something be thankful for every failure because it's preparing you for Success you think the world owes you something it doesn't you want
more earn it you want a better life go build it you want to be great stop making excuses and start being thankful for what you already have because once you see the power in what you already have once you stop focusing on What's Missing once you stop wasting time complaining nothing can stop you this is your life this is your moment be thankful be relentless and go to work own it [Music]
