I remember a time when I used to always be worried about doing and saying the right thing.

I was always thinking scenarios over again. I would wonder if that person was talking about me.

It was crazy.

I was trying to keep up this image of the person I thought I was supposed to be.

I became very dark inside and I was on auto-pilot just living my life. My mind was always in the past, the future, and the what-ifs.

For so many years I was always worrying about everyone else opinions over my own.

But, I don’t live like that anymore.

I live in a place where I don’t give a f*ck.

I live in a place of ‘ let them talk about me. Let them talk about how I came out of nowhere.’

I found my voice, my self-love, my self-worth, and my self-acceptance.

I live with the lightbulb turned on inside. I live with freedom and flow mentally.

The other day I was listening to a podcast with Tony Robbins and Gary Vee (Vaynerchuk) on the #AskGaryVee show.

One of the callers raised the attention that both of these guys were advocates for GRATITUDE and he asked how to create it.

The caller then went on to ask ‘ how does one go about creating gratitude in their life?’.

This question. This question right here is the golden question.

So how do you become so grateful?

You do this by bringing awareness to that which is good in your life.

You do this by producing thoughts and words that create a thought pattern of thankfulness for the good in your life.

But how do you do that?

One of the ways...

In 2013 after spending the weekend partying at a music festival, drinking copious amounts of booze, consuming drugs, and getting hardly any sleep, I started to get little dots of dry red skin on my legs.

As the months went on, my partying and lifestyle went to a whole new level. The little red dots started showing up everywhere on my body. My legs, my arms, my face, my whole body was covered in these little red dots.

Naturally, the first thing I did was google ‘red dry skin dots on my body’. Self-prescribed doctor Danielle had everything under the sun!

Keep in mind at this point in my life I was just a motivated, rah-rah, positive person. I didn’t really understand the whole mindset, our spirit self, and what was really going on.

After going to the walk-in clinic, the verdict was “I am not sure what you have but take...
