Feel Fortunate

As my dad used to be in the cleaning business, i now had to work closely with my workers who are cleaners. Last week, i was talking to a colleague of my dad who used to be his very very good pal and we had a long chat about how he met my dad and how life has been for me. He’s a pretty old man probably in his 60s and guess what he told me. For the past 18 years he has been working 2 jobs. One in the day and one in the night and sleeps only about 3-4 hours each day on weekdays.

During the daytime, he works in the condo as a supervisor and when night falls, he’ll go to work as a hotel receptionist till morning and he’ll go to work again at the condo. I asked him why is he so tough on himself and he replied its for survival because he has a family to feed.

While we are here making money working from home and doing it at your own time own pace, stop thinking about how to make it big, but at times, think about how fortunate you have been just being able to do something you like and making a comfortable income.

Yeah… it’s not about how many 10k you earn per month. It’s about the freedom to do what you want and don’t have to slog your time away all day long.

It’s a matter of awareness and choices made. If you believe in yourself that you can get what you want in life and be determined, the ways will come eventually. That’s what I always believe in and I realized most people normally give in too easily to life. Go watch Rocky Balboa and you will learn more about the way of a fighter.
