How do I have so much energy?! 💥 Don from @iam How do I have so much energy?! 💥

Don from @iamlakeland asked me this today when I ran into him.

I thought about it, and realized; it's gratitude. 🙏

Gratitude is the threshold for accessing and maintaining high energy, even when bad things happen!

Bad things happen all the time, but when you are able to access gratitude at will, you can overcome almost anything!
