A few thoughts...
I've been officially out of work for the past week. I'm ten pounds overweight. I've got a trick knee that sounds like Rice Krispies every couple of hours. Yesterday after working out, I bumped into the last girl that dumped me on the street, bringing to mind and heart old feelings.
I'm bald. I'm single. I'm broke.
I've never been happier.
Why, you ask? What happy pills am I taking? The answer's none; maybe the occasional protein shake, but other than a good diet that's about it.
Where does the positive outlook come from? Well, I'm one of those guys who's left everything behind in the past and still survived, and never been happpier. I'm one of those people who could give it all up again, like what's being done right now, and struggle but never feel so alive. I'm one of those who had to lose everything to realize what was really important.

Now mind you, I'm not married. Don't have mortgage payments. No kids I know of. So maybe I don't have the stresses you have. But I know that things have a way of working themselves out. Whether it's through hard work, facing your fears, setting goals, meeting new people, establishing alliances, competing in various fields, even prayer and reflection...all things come to pass one way or the other.
Today I'm sitting here in Starbucks working on a project of mine. The woman next to me asked what I was doing. I responded, "Helping a friend". She couldn't help but smile at that one.
Whatever your challenges, they're not too big to be overcome. Do what must be done to achieve what you want to, respecting your fellow man and woman in the process. And smile. And keep smiling. You'll find more often than not the world smiles back at you.
P.O.,
T.
