Do you remember?

Do you remember the moment that we forgot to give a fuck about anything? When we couldn't wrap our minds around the war in Iraq or the collapsing dollar. When inflation and gas prices were something we just didn't think about. When we took a stand and said "Who cares if the economy is in trouble". Do you remember the time you laughed because you got laid off, or cheered because your girlfriend broke up with you? Do you remember the time when a minor set back was not the end of the world? How about when food storage and earthquake insurance just didn't matter?


I don't remember either.


Recently someone told me that time is the only currency we have. He was right. Perspective forms time and I think perspective is good. How can you know what financial Independence feels like if you have never had your back broken by a collapsing mountain of bill collectors? How can you know what true love is if you have never known the heartache of your soul mate walking away? Can you really feel great without having ever spent days and days laid up in bed. You can't. Anything that is wrong in your life right now is a lesson in time. In time all will change. Wounds will heal economies will come and go it's all up and down and the down allows the up. When things are looking bleak it's a sign.. Slow down and learn before things get good and it's just too late.
