I work in a field where everyday I can look at my life and be extremely grateful for who I am, what I have and who I have in my life. So many of us were simply not born with such blessings.
This is a privilege so many of us take for granted. The most important things in my life are that I have an able body and mind and no matter how much media or hurtful comments that are sent my way I have control over my mind and body.
I work with people that do not have such a luxury and over the years people have abused them in many different ways because of their disabilities.
Yet many of these people are more positive and happy than the wealthiest/healthiest people. I swear Kim Kardashian complains more in one episode than the people I work with do in a week!
Back to me. I am able to wake up everyday and be grateful that the worst thing today is that I live pay check to pay check. One day I won’t. One day I’ll dig myself out of this hope and be able to live a financially comfy lifestyle. But today. Today I have a house, nice clothes, health, family, friends, love and the ability to kick ass and help the people who cannot.
I do not do the things I do for good karma. I do them because I can and others cannot. And if I was ever in the situation where I couldn’t, I hope someone else would for me.
