It could have been worse, it has to get better

Probably been the longest since I wrote here the last time. I guess it was mostly due to the fact that everything was going pretty much as *normal* as it can get since January...With my successful trip to Sochi last month, I was feeling pretty good with everything overall. But then this last two weeks happened...

Amit got sick (always a pain - he's OK now :) )
The bank was/is giving me a really hard time about various shit.
Moving (soon) is turning slightly into a nightmare.
And the most but not least, I had probably the worst two weeks of my career, when I can't really afford any of it (not that I'm ever happy about losing).

So I started feeling shit. My motivation was close to negative. I'm pretty sure I even cried at some point.

It's not a secret I've been thinking for quite some time about my next steps in life. I think A LOT about how I influence other ppl, and how they influence me. And sometimes the most unexpected influence could come from some random person, you wouldn't ever expect it to...

This morning I saw a guy who I didn't see probably for 10 years or so. Apparently married now, with 2 kids. We are friends on FB, But I'm not even sure we exchange BD greetings... He saw me and snap said to me how jealous of me he is... I replied by saying that I only post the good things on FB (such as winners pictures from Sochi), and that reality is far more complicated than that. He said that that's not what he meant...

He's jealous cause I do what I love. He doesn't. Almost no one does.
I forget it sometimes. How blessed I am.
I'm healthy. So is my family. And I do the thing I love the most to do in the world for a living...

Suddenly, all this crap past 2 weeks, feels like a small black dot in a blue lagoon.
I'll get over all that (like Amit did).
I'll win it back and survive all the bureaucracy shit.
And in the day after, I'll probably still be the most fortunate person I know...

P.s

Today is exactly one year since our own Black Friday. I was terrified...
I can say 100% I'm in a better place right now then a year ago. So as always, everything is gonna be alright :)
