The every Day life!

Get out and travel!! Live everyday like it is your last,because it may be.You never think that it will be,like me,until the day I was shot in the chest in a random gang shooting.I was living in Phx.,Az. and had just had dinner at my best friend's Mom's house and my friend Phil was driving me home(my car got hit by a 18yr. old kid going 50mph while I was stopped at a red light 2 months earlier) and we passed a truck on the road.Well the guy in the truck starts flashing his high beams at us after we passed him.When he pulls up next to us he is giving me the finger(flipping me off)so as I start to roll the window down to ask him what his problem is,the window shatters because he began shooting at us!I ducked,but not in time and had a bullet hit me in the back headed right towards my heart.Luckily it bounced off my shoulder blade and lodged between my lung and 4th & 5th ribs,where it still sits today.I recovered and they caught the guy(he got a whopping 6 months for aggravated assault) but I can't really tell you where I was,or what I did for a year after that because I self-medicated myself into oblivion.I did come through it and realized I was one lucky to be alive S.O.B. and to be happy for everyday from then on.I have traveled and tried a 9 to 5 job but it drove me crazy and I wasn't happy,so one day I took off my tie and just walked away!I got a job as a bartender,which I love,because now I get people drunk and bull**** for a living.
The main thing is to do WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY and try not to worry what everybody else thinks!
My parents thought I was crazy for leaving my high-paying 9 to 5 job,but I am so much happier that the money doesn't matter.Why be rich and dead from a heart attack at 40,when I can be happy and with enough to live comfortably at 42 ??
I get up everyday and smile ,and that is what it is all about !!!
SO FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!
