Life is good.

We have to have a positive outlook in life always. I had a chat with somebody a couple of days ago and he asked me what was the purpose of my work? I politely answered his question " I am with collections, I remind and convince clients to pay the correct amount and at the correct time." Then I continued " my work sometimes gets interesting, sometimes I get aggressive with clients and occasionally it erupts to an argument". "This is actually my first time in this kind of work environment. Ever since I started working I was with customer service this time around I'm at the opposite side of the fence." Then his rebuttal to my answer "You have to always be of service to the client no matter what line of work you are in, you also have to be thankful that you are employed." What he just said to me was correct.

At that point I silently said to myself "life is good."

In my opinion, we have to live a balanced life. We have to have time for family,work and even fun, this helps lessen the chances of burning out or living a sedimentary life. The same person also told me that we have to step back and enjoy the things that life has to offer. On a personal note, I maximize my weekends by spending quality time with my family the one-on-one talks with my wife and father and son moments I spend with Joaqui. Though it may sound shallow or stereo-type it still fortifies my personal relationship with my loved ones and puts a smile on my face. These are the real "priceless moments."
