This is a quote by Auntie Mame. It was a movie, and I love it.

“Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving.”

There are so many positives about life. If we focus on the positives, it's a banquet. It's a feast.

You need to get a job. You can get a job. The question is whether you're going to get a job that you want to get or feel like it is at your station versus below your station.

If you walk in and have nothing, you can walk into almost any restaurant, wash dishes, and they'll give you food to eat, won't they?

If you need to scrub floors, scrub floors.

It's okay to do that.

There's just so much out there and we have such a rich tapestry. We just have to see it and be humble enough to be part of it.

That's my perspective.

What is yours?
