I have worked as a valet for the past three years, in a prominent area in Miami called Sunny Isles.

I started working as a valet my senior year of high school and I was introduced to a brand new world, and many different people.

Since I was new to the service industry, I quickly had to become accustomed to other people's frustrations and energy.

I would always ask myself, "Why are these people so mad?". This person is verbally abusing me out of frustration, and leave shortly after in their Mercedes-Benz.

These individuals have access to anything they could possibly want in the world, yet seem so unsatisfied. What's wrong?

Years later, I would learn that I was no different than those I was working for. The same feelings I feel they feel. Fear... Love.... Anger.... Peace. We all go through the same things.

Having wealth is both a blessing and a curse; the burden it holds can be too heavy for many.

Trying to use money to cure your sadness or loneliness will never work. It doesn't matter how nice that Ferrari is. If you don't have inner peace it does not mean a thing.

Having access to so many material things, can make it easy to lose sight on what truly matters in life. Just the ability to wake up every day is enough reason to be happy.
