"In 2015 I lost 2 people in my life who were very close to my heart."

"Spending time, every morning, in gratitude has changed my world for the better."

"Without this routine, I would have struggled much more than I was doing."

"I was starting to lose hope when I saw an ad for a 3-bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor of a 3-family home."

"Gratitude changes your life so fast. I really feel like my life changed in a matter of like two weeks."

"I understood that there is something special in everybody, and we should appreciate that."

"That's why I was taking out my anger on them but the reverse was happening because they were always trying to prove to me that I am wrong."

"Oh, man, it was very slow. I didn't realize I had to do it. I had the mindset of - Why me? Why is this happening to me? And I realized that was the problem."

"I would laugh at first, thinking everyone has those things, everyone has health, everyone has a house. But then it started to really hit me that no, not everybody has that, that's not the case."

"I kept on complaining. I used to start crying on little marks, for just a mark up and down. So I was really emotional. But now I'm balanced."

"It was a very good experience for me because it said that if life is going on at a very normal pace, then you don't have a story to tell. So today I have a story to tell that I practice gratitude and that I experienced that self-transformation in my life."

"It's not about the idea of changing as a person. It's about the idea of changing your perspective. So you can be the best person for yourself and radiate that beauty from the inside to the outside world because eventually, someone's going to see it."
