Turn Anger into Appreciation

IN 2005, I was unemployed, emotionally distraught, and angry when I was finally let go from a job that I detested. I was in a downward spiral. I had $100 left in my bank account, but I was thousands of dollars in the red. I had reached an all-time low.

I made some decisions that day. I decided I would never wear a tie to work, never work for anybody again, and would be an entrepreneur FOREVER!

Truth is, all of the decisions I made that days were fueled by anger, ego, and negative emotions.

The next years ahead were filled with much business success but were still fueled by many negative things.

Through this journey I learned a lot of lessons, a couple of which I would love to share with you today.

Love, kindness and compassion and gratitude, trump hate, anger, ego and jealousy.

Turn F-YOU into THANK-YOU.

Look for the people who have been a source of inspiration to you throughout your life and try to connect with them. Don’t let the voices of your haters, judges, and individuals who want to pull you down drown out the voices of those who are trying to lift you up.

Establish your goals, put in the work, seek out and embrace hardship, and stop being such a wimp.

You are not traveling through life by yourself; rather, life itself is a trip. Find people who have chosen to travel the path with you, who will support you, who will believe in you, and who will hold you accountable for achieving greatness.

If you don’t already have someone like this in your life, you will very soon….

I have faith in you, I am here to walk this path with you, I am here to lift you up, and I am here to keep you accountable to achieving your greatest potential.

I have high hopes that you will find this video to be a source of motivation, a beacon of hope, inspiration, and the spark that will cause you to take charge of and live your best possible life.

Have a wonderful Christmas!
