RE: What are YOU Grateful for TODAY? - #GratitudeTrain No. 55

in #steemitbloggers6 years ago

Grateful for this reminder....just got back from lunch with a long time friend...he's been miserable the last year on the path his lifelong business has taken...but...he's also his worst enemy...he has life "by the balls" but doesn't see it...he's just clouded himself as a "failure" since he didn't reach a particular life long goal....I suggested he try and think of things he should be "grateful" for...that I envied the position he's in since a lot of the pressure he's under is his own perception and not actual outside issues....I think he heard what he needed to hear.

Sort:  

I hope so - for his sake. My dad once told me something I have never forgotten...

"I sat around a board room table with many men - all of us greatly successful financially and we shared jokes and stories for hours about how EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US had failed hopelessly at LEAST once."

I have always kept that in my mind... :)
