Today while waiting in line at the supermarket I came across someone that reminded me that I should always be thankful of what God has blessed me with. There's a story behind this. Let me explain...
There was one time I was on the way home from work when I saw a guy who came from a construction site. There was nothing out of the ordinary about him except that he looked like he was almost 70. I do not exaggerate. He really looked like he should be enjoying his life and not working himself to the bone. I have this belief that people should be able to enjoy their lives when they're older. I also have this belief that people should be given the chance to make their lives better and not have to live from hand to mouth. How can someone who earns minimum wage support a family, give his kids a good education and save for the future? It's a sad reality that we must live in this state and I keep hoping that someday things will change.
That's when I realized that's something that I want to do. I admit I am in no position right now to do anything for them. I have to concentrate on getting myself a job first then help my family then I can help others. :) But I promise that I will do something, no matter how small that something may be, I will do something. :)
I haven't quite figured out what I want to do with my life but I know I want to do something to give others the opportunity to make a better life for themselves. I will get there.
For now I am glad to be reminded that I am lucky. Despite the problems and the hardships I am lucky and very blessed. Thank you God for everything! :) I am learning to not take anything for granted. :)
