Since most problems are rooted in mindset, I created gift cards—like those metal cards with tools cut into them. I really like them; they’re quite handy.

Each card has two sides with text:

1. “I want a better life! What do I want?”

2. “I have a better life! What do I have?”

When you give away the card, you might say, "I have a lot of respect for what you’re doing. I want to give you this card because I believe in you. Look here: do you want a better life? You deserve it, but always have to know what you want.

Now, on the other side, consider this: maybe today was a good day, maybe you’re happy with this card. So every day, ask yourself what you already have. Don’t compare yourself to others; just be grateful for what you have, even if it feels like it’s not much.

And remember, this card is more than just a gift—it’s a meaningful tool.”
