It is sometimes hard to wake up in the morning after you lost everything. In 2003, I lost my wife and child due to PreEclampsia. Then a came into a large court settlement and got caught up in the Real Estate boom and played the stock market. I lost all of that too.

My current wife and I picked ourselves up and are on the way back. It is painfully slow, still have a lot of debt, IRS, etc. But what does it matter? Money is created out of thin air and really doesn’t exist if you think about it. If someday it is printed to worthlessness, who cares what you bank account is?

Just remember that in 100 years, you will not care what your financial worth was. The sun will rise, you won’t be there and all that you worry about today will be of no consequence.

Bounce back – is the best response I had from someone in a bad situation. Bounce back and do better.

I agree. We all hove so much to be thankful for. It gets lost in all the things we need or want or wish we could have. I guess the very thing that drives us to succeed in life is the very thing that can make us the most unhappy. Yearning for something better is a blessing and a curse!

@ Stan – I really like this post. Thanks for commenting, because you gave me the opportunity to revisit it.

People *always* have something. Health. Love. Friendship. Hope. There is never a state of being where a person has nothing at all, unless they’re dead.

I think our society has become to negative-thought minded, and people focus on their fears and worries, paralyzing themselves. Maybe a few more posts like this one from more people would help them realize that fear-focusing gets no one anywhere.

There are many people right now that in these tough economic times feel like they have lost it all. If only people could focus on the things that they DO have they would be so much better off. I like your point of view.. it was well thought out.
