I've repeated over and over how fortunate I have been in life.
A good partner, both have a work ethic, similar ideas of investment, and its difficult to fail in this country.
Take away any of those and its difficult to succeed.
Bad health and accidents are difficult to overcome.

I've always said I've lived a charmed life. In reality, they key to happiness is being grateful for what you have and making good decisions in life (especially in relationships). Work hard, get as much education as you can, be nice to yourself and to other people, take care of your mental, physical (exercise regularly and stay away from drugs and excessive alcohol use), spiritual and financial health (invest early & often) and stay away from toxic people and life is pretty goddamn good.

It seems like people, in general, are negative and I understand we all have our down moments, but I am talking about people's outlook on life.

More people than not (at least it seems this way) think that we live in a world where everything is getting worse.

Then there are those who seem like they are just miserable with their life. I am talking about married people who work, then are always on the go with their kids, etc and they just carry this attitude like "I want to get away from it all!"..

But in reality life happens, there are rough times, but you have to learn how to just roll with the punches..

I had a few drinks so if I am not making sense, thats why.
