One of the most powerful
emotions in the world
is gratitude.
I grew up very poor.
We didn’t eat every day.
We didn’t have running water.
Yes, even in North America,
people live this way.
I’m no longer poor
but I’ve never forgotten
what it is like to be poor.
I work hard
because I know
I could become poor again.
I don’t squander resources
because I know
what it is like
not to have resources.
I treat people well
because I know
I could be at their wealth level again
and I know
I might need their help
while I’m there.
I support dreams
because I know
I made my own impossible happen.
This positive energy
is why gratitude is so key.
You are alive
and have access to a computer
and you live in a country
where those two things
combined with hard work
can make great things happen.
Find gratitude
and harness it.
