Gratitude in your Attitude.
Sitting at my desk this morning, drinking my energy drink and letting my thoughts flow, I can’t help but reflect on life. It’s wild. It’s amazing. It’s exactly what you make of it. On the podcast, we talk a lot about accountability. It’s a concept that some people resist fiercely—they just aren’t ready to hear it. But for those standing at a crossroads, yearning for change, or searching desperately for peace, accountability clicks.
It’s not just about owning up to past mistakes. It’s about conducting an honest self-audit, recognizing where you fall short, and challenging yourself to grow in ways you never have before. It’s about understanding that your life belongs to you alone. No one is coming to save you, and in the end, you’ll stand before your maker; alone.
Lately, I’ve spent a lot of time in meditative thought, examining my life for what it truly is—a culmination of hard work, countless failures, divine intervention, and impeccable timing. I’m aware of how easy it would be to let success inflate my ego, to convince myself we’re famous or special just because we have a following. But here’s the truth: I love my life. I’m deeply grateful for it all, and I’m savoring every moment.
I’m not depressed. I’m not suicidal. I no longer wake up fearing what life might throw at me. When I look back on my past, it almost feels like it wasn’t me who lived it. I know the battles I’ve fought, the tolls they’ve taken, and the scars they left. Yet, it all feels distant now, like a faint memory that no longer holds weight. Even as I write this, I struggle to verbalize the feelings of what once was.
Peaches and I are building a life I never imagined possible. Some people find financial success. Others find fulfillment in their families. Few achieve both, but somehow, we’re living that reality. I feel whole in ways I never dreamed of.
Life is what you make of it. So ask yourself: What are you doing to define and pursue your version of success? Are you actively chasing your dreams—or just sleeping on them?
