My most hated chore in the world is cleaning the toilet.

I have despised this chore ever since I was a kid. Sure, I was the main party using it so I was cleaning up after…well…myself. Didn’t make it any less appetizing for lack of better words.

Becoming a janitor in college really made me despise the task. Cleaning up the most abysmal scenes after other people was humiliating and a life lesson.

What did I learn?

No job is beneath me.

Humbleness and Humility.

A simple hello, a smile, and acknowledging someone who society thinks is at the bottom of the totem pole is life changing.

You never know what someone is going through, and a simple acknowledgment that they exist and matter can be all the hope they need to persevere and achieve their goals.

Whether you are a CEO or a janitor your existence is the same.
