Perspective

I need perspective. Sometimes when I feel bad that I have nothing it really takes some time for me to get some perspective. I needed to just see the life the way things

I go back to the time that I  sat with someone at Ameristar Casino where she told me that the person she was dating was making "bank." I didn't know what that really meant. When i delved a bit further she said taht her honey that made bank was making $30,000 a year. I thought to myself that is not really bank. That I knew some people that were making move like $100,000! (but not me!) But then it was a total lesson for me on perspective. Where some people are struggling with money and others are not - is because their perspective. They spend within their means. They know what they can afford and don't spend over that.

I think about people who have much bigger problems in their life. Like where is their next meal coming from? Where are they going? They don't have the people to help them. They are not momentarily in a bad spot - but they are sort of there permanently.

I just wonder what kind of person I am? When all I want to do is crawl into my hole - when in reality. I have a lot going for me. I have an education (although I'm still paying for it), I have very little debt. I have a car and a house over my head - as well as places to go.

I have what I need with my kids. I have what I need with my friends and family. I have what I need because I believe that I have what I need. When I think that I don't have who and what I need around me is when I feel weak.The problem for me is to make you believe that you have what you need because you are strong. That you have what you need if you ask. You have what you need when you believe that you have all you need. I wonder where you are.
