One of the comments he made which made me laugh was that he realised you could get 2 cents for recycling a soda can. He loved this notion and would do as much as he could to get it! He would even keep following people who were drinking from a soda and bugged them 'Are you done yet?'
So he was doing his best to create a good life for himself, so he didn't realise why those around him, in exactly the same situation had no money and yet continued to complain.
It goes to show that there are always ways to make things in life work for you. You can either do the small things which lead to you live a better life or you can block yourself off and do nothing and complain.
Look for ways to make it work in your life, seek things which you can do to improve your lot. Nothing is completely hopeless, it's just what you want to focus on.
All is well!!!
Happy can-ing!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
