First-World Problems. Most Of Us Have It Pretty Darn Good

[Genium]

Some days I wake up and I am unhappy that my business isn't where I want it to be yet.. Sometimes little things get to me, but I surely try to minimize the complaining because I know I still have it pretty damn good.

Then I saw this video, and I can think of several people off the top of my head I know that complain like this.. Worst of all, I have seen and heard really wealthy people complain about their water being to cold or too many ice cubes, or that they are stressed out because their Ferrari needs a bunch of work done... I try not to let it bug me but it pisses me off that some people are so unthankful, and will never be happy.

There is nothing wrong for striving to make millions and have nice cars and a big house, unless you think that'll turn your unhappiness into happiness. My goals include lots of money, but also freedom and being able to help out others.

I just found this video inspiring and is a good reminder to us all to remember that we are all lucky to have the opportunities we have.

So true, its easy to lose sight of how well off we really are in relation to the rest of the world, even in the slowlane.

Last week we were at a nightclub in a VIP booth...
We only got ONE bottle of Dom Pérignon...
There were FOUR of us...
I was left thirsty.

But they advertised they had beer on tap...
So the hostess had to walk outside the VIP booth...
And around the corner...
To get me my beer...
I was waiting for well over 30 seconds.



I try and get through my day one step at a time, but sometimes, it can just be really hard.
