I read an article recently that said, “The richest man in America is homeless.” And I thought, “What????

Who is this guy? The article goes:

"Imagine You’re a father. Your bank account? Empty. Your rent? Overdue. And tonight, the only place you and your 14 month old kid, in diapers, can sleep… is a public bathroom.
This isn’t a movie scene.
This was Chris Gardner’s reality: homeless, broke, hungry, carrying his entire life in one bag.

It got so bad at one point that he had to put his son in a baby sling and carry him around all day just so they could be together.
But years later? That same man walked into Wall Street… as a millionaire."

"Right now, you might be carrying this big ugly backpack — debt, rejection, and those heavy ‘Why me?’ moments.

"Chris? He discovered something most people never do:
He stopped seeing rock bottom as a grave… and started seeing it as the ground he could push off from."

"Think about it.
Every rejection? A lesson.
Every failure? A skill.
Every setback? A step forward."

"And little by little… bathroom floors turned into boardroom floors."

The One Mindset that changes everything is
Every fall carries the seeds of a rise.

"Robert Kiyosaki calls it learning from your financial scars.
Morgan Housel? He says money mistakes are tuition fees for success.
And Chris Gardner? He calls it… never losing your dignity, even when you’ve lost everything else."

Life is a tough gym trainer.
At first, it feels like the weights are there to crush you.
But They’re building your strength for the next level."

"So now I’ll ask you: What’s YOUR rock bottom?
And what would it take for you to rise?"

So… next time life knocks you down, don’t ask ‘Why me?’
Ask, ‘What is this teaching me?’
