Do you feel like a person really has to pay their dues before truly understanding the concept of, "every day above the dirt is a good one?"
No. I feel there are some people that are born with humility and are thankful for everything in life and for each day. Paying dues in that sense sounds like an ego thing. I mean, almost dying because you were loaded certainly does not make you more entitled to appreciate life more by having a catchphrase.
Having gone through some personal trials and tribulations yourself, what kind of advice do you have for people that might be feeling sorry for themselves?
Stop thinking of yourself and help another human. Surprising how that feeling will melt away.
