I really had to get out of that mindset not only that there wasn't enough of anything

for anyone that I was living in a world of not enough as a victim, but moreover that

money bought love and happiness.

This is the flavor.

So my journey when I started was in a world of not enough, right?

I was a victim, everything happened to me.

Why do they have the nice car?

Why can they go to summer camp?

Why do they get to, you know, not share to French fries at McDonald's when they go for

the whole family?

Right?

They get a whole value meal.

You know, why is that fair?

And I learned a definition of happiness, though, from the world of not enough.

My definition of happiness became, I had to learn to enjoy the consistent everyday, persistent

without quit, pursue to my own potential.

Not what everybody else thought of me, not laughing at me, not making fun of me, not what

I didn't want, not what was missing in my life.

But I was going to be determined to enjoy the consistent, persistent pursuit of my own

potential.

I mean, I remember when I was 13, I got a bar mitzvah, my mom's very Jewish, and so

made me get a bar mitzvah, I wasn't all into it at all.
