Wise words from a homeless man!
I had some coffee at my favorite eating hangout this morning and as usual I read the load of newspapers for customers.In one of the papers I came across a story about a homeless man in the Los Angeles skid row named Elzie Alexander whose life was not good at all roaming from job to job and all the time dreaming about being a comedian.
An open mic opportunity at a local bookstore brought this man his chance and he was pretty successful because he performed quite a show with his repertoire.
At the end of the article he made this quote to the writer.
"There's nothing wrong with not having anything. A lot of people don't have anything. But if you don't have anything planned, then thats when depression sets in. If you don't have a light at the end of the tunnel, then you got nothing".

You are right! You must seize the moment!

I am truly honored that you commented since I regard you and a few others truly funny guys with a great sense of humor! And you are correct. Luck plays a big role in your life. Since I am a Christian I call it Jesus knocking on your door with the answer. But whatever people call it then use it!
> For the least stress, focus only on the present.
> Thinking of the past tends to bring thoughts of regret.
> Thinking of the future tends to bring thoughts of hope and opportunity.
I know these things aren't true all the time but this seems to be the way it usually works. I'm a big fan of finding enjoyment in the present and thinking (sometimes dreaming) of the future (tomorrow or next year or whenever...).
Good one! That got a good chuckle from me!
Richard!
