Lesson 2 - Gratitude.

Be grateful. No matter how bad you think you have it, someone else out there has it worse. In fact, a whole lot of people have it a whole lot worse.

I've had my share of getting shitted on. When it rains for me, more often than not, it POURS. I've been completely broke, I've had my share of car/bus/train accidents, I've been robbed a few times, I've been cheated on, I've had my heart broken (a few times), I've lost close friends/family members, the list goes on. But when you are full of gratitude, those things don't hit you as hard when you lose them because you realized what they were worth when you had them and you appreciated them to the fullest extent... you didn't take them for granted.

Nothing is permanent. Everything is borrowed here, even our time. In the end, you have nothing. You will lose everything... so be grateful for what you have while you have it.
