Night toughts.

What I do instead of sleeping.

I am working the night shift. My job is to check on a couple of construction workers while they work fixing the inside walls of a clothing store, covering them with tiles. I am here since 9 pm, but they arrive at 10 and start working at 11… Now the time is 5:35 am and the are still working. Slooow as hell.

I know how to be fine without sleeping for a couple of nights, but they are really slow. But todays text is not for complaining, this text is to make people know that I am happy to be where I am.

Maybe it sounds sad, the fact that I am happy here, just waiting them to finish, but if I have learned something worthy of being shared, it is that life is about perspective.

What I mean with that is that everything depends on your standing point, but not just on that, because the direction you DECIDE to look to, can maybe become more important in the making decision process than any other thing.

If you still dont see why I am happy, I will tell you. I am being paid just for being awake and watching. I could be on the other side of the room, working from 11 pm to 6, or 7 even maybe 8 am, with an exhausting labor and any rest. If that is not luck, I dont know what it is. And the truth is that luck does not exist, it is the way we choose to see the things that happen, the way we judge them. Some people call it “luck”, others “god”… I like to name it freedom to choose our perspective.
