You Already Have What You Need

I wanted to share one last thought. It is a lesson that I was given by one the most charismatic man that I have stumbled upon. His name was Rob.

Rob came into my life at a funny time. This guy at first glimpse seemed like a nerdy keep to himself kind of man. He was in his late 40s with a combover and a lean physic. He was my new co-worker, but he had been in the car business for a long time. We had a few small conversations about diet and nutrition, and before I knew it Rob began to talk to me about everything from fitness to the meaning of life. Rob spoke like a motivational speaker and dressed like a scholar.

At some point Rob made me realize that I had no reason to be depressed or worried. He made me realize my self worth. He told me something like, " You are living in the greatest time of the world brother. You have all the knowledge at the click of a button. You can decide who you want to be and where you want to go. You don't have to worry about nomads chasing you with spears or tigers trying to eat you. You live in the best country of the world. You are young, you have a home, you have both of your parents, you are in shape, you are good looking, you are bilingual, you are smart, and you are an entrepreneur. We are business men! We have everything in our favor. Other people would kill to have what we have. We have it all man."

His words still reside in my head. Thank you Robbie.

And you?

What are you greatful for?
