Just a great True story of this old guy who went from a 6 figure
salary career, to a minimum wage job. But realizing
the sweetness of being alive and living, for the moment...

Life is a journey...

PathPathThe thing I liked most of what he says is when he advises people to keep their minds open to all possibilities.

What impressed me the most about his story is how he was able to manifest money and prestige in his life again after having lost it. It's an example to me of how a person's expectations literally shape their experiences.

This guy always had money and influence and good things handed to him, so even when he temporarily lost some of that, he still expected to have prosperity in his life, and so he was in the right places at the right times with the right mindset to gain it back. He enjoyed his minimum wage job, but also used it as a springboard to publish a best-selling book and then used that as a springboard to a movie deal, etc.

It's a reminder to me to enjoy my current situation, but also expect it to be a path to a better situation, and then to even better things after that, and on and on.
