Joel and Walt discuss how getting stuck in lack mindsets prevents us from enjoying life fully. While it's easy to dwell on what we think is missing, shifting our focus to gratitude for each present moment allows happiness to unfold naturally.

Joel shares his experience of reprogramming his thoughts around money over years through visualization. "I had to start looking at the, you know, the concept of what would it be like if I had $100,000? What would you know, I started, I started just taking time to imagine." This inner work transformed his outer reality.

Both men acknowledge how past events, like relationship losses, can dominate our thoughts if we don't accept what was. Walt reflects, "Why is it so hard to turn that setting off?" Joel replies that our protective subconscious resists change. Letting go allows "the gift of what's next comes up."

Rather than fearing change, cultivate appreciation for each new day. Walt invites us to "appreciate each present moment and the blessings right in front of you." Joel agrees, finding joy in "every encounter, and that it's an amazing way to live."

Shifting our focus from lack to gratitude rewrites our internal programming, as Joel demonstrates. Start enjoying life fully by appreciating each moment rather than dwelling on what's missing. The present is a gift when viewed with eyes of thankfulness.
