Happiness is a choice, and being happy with what you have instead of focusing on what you don't have is important.

Investment and Intensity for Success
Being invested in your goals means doing whatever it takes, regardless of how you feel. It involves delayed gratification and focused effort. Bringing intensity and integrity to every moment and task is crucial. Are you just showing up or are you fully invested in your mental performance journey? To achieve success, you need to be into it, actively listening, taking notes, and most importantly, applying what you learn to your life.
