There’s a orange Lamborghini parked in front of the Starbucks I’m at in Victoria Gardens mall at located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I’m looking at the car and my feelings towards it aren’t like what most people are saying about that car.
Just observing peoples behavior towards the car and what they’re saying. Almost everyone has turned the heads and glued the eye balls on the car for a period of time. I’ve heard comments from:
“Oh damn that’s a Lamborghini.”
“That car is more expensive than our house.”
“You want one of those babe?”
“I like that car. (while pointing at it).”
All of this in admiration of what they don’t have or they wish they had. One family even decided to take a picture with it.
I’m thinking about myself right now and how much have I done that with cameras and other material things. It may not be a Lamborghini or a house like other people, but for me it’s the Leica cameras or sometimes even the clothes that I fanboy over. I do my best not to say things like ‘I wish I had that’s or ‘I’ll never have something like that’. An entrepreneur by the name of Robert Kiyosaki said that when people say phrases like that, it means they are mentally lazy. And in no way am I’m mentally lazy.
I have to go with the flow, learn to be more grateful than I already am, be less fearful of situations and of conversations. But also, not to be submissive at the same time and just accept that these are the cards that I’ve been dealt with. That with the help of God I can bring about change in my life.
I got to keep working and let my body and my mind tell me what my actions dictate.
