I learned a long time ago that you need to feel bad for yourself first. Only then will you be in the right mind set to help people. I’m still not in that mindset so the poor and destute are on their own for a little while longer.

I felt sorry for myself, because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. So I said, hey, man, can I have your shoes? Because you don’t need them, right?

I work at a crappy ass office, A LOT. And I’m not very well compensated for my troubles either. AND I live in the most goddamn expensive city in the world, LITERALLY. I hate to sound like a prick here but that woman on the corner with her baby probably has less debt than I do at this point.

I told you one day you would like getting stuck up your butt :-P ahha! The other day I was so bored…I took a three and a half hour lunch. I drove 30 miles to go and see Redd, fuck Redd and then have lunch with Redd. It was well worth not getting paid!

Now please, drop your pants and grab your ankles. I’d like to say this won’t hurt, but that would be a lie.

I understand your feelings. I just wanted to give you my 2 cents if you don’t mind. (I assume that you don’t mind since you have a public blog.)

Things could definitely be much worse. You work at an Irish Pub in NYC and have a better job than a lot of other people could wish for in this world we live in.

I suggest, cherish what you have. Many people would sacrifice a whole lot to have your job or be in your current situation.

I am not saying that your job is the greatest, it’s just that some people in the world have it much much worse. I live in Peru, and I have seen people survive under the most difficult conditions with little other options to better themselves in the future.

I invite you to come down and see for yourself. I guarantee you that it will be an eye-opener for you. Don’t get upset and take it the wrong way buddy, many people in the USA don’t realize how good they have it. If you dislike your job, leave and quit. I am sure you can find something else that you will like better. Only you can decide what it is that makes YOU happy.

Be positive, take a deep breath and look around at all that you have, and all that is available to you on a regular basis. Many people do not enjoy this luxury. Enjoy your life, enjoy your job, enjoy everything to its fullest as it comes to you. I know you will not regret doing so.

When I see a woman on the corner (where she basically lives) with her infant child in her arms, falling asleep because she can no longer keep her eyes open, selling candies and drinks for pennies on the dollar, it touches me. It makes me realize how much better I have it than the majority of the world.

With that, I learned how to enjoy my job more, I now enjoy my family and time spent with them much more. I enjoy everything that I used to take for granted now much more.

Best wishes Mike…

I wish you happiness and success in your future…

A.Y.
