Wow. Just when you think our world couldn't get more ugly, the online world erupted with a picture of Geoffrey Owen's. He's the former Cosby Show star now working at Trader Joe's. People started being mean and petty about his current job status. Job shaming is a thing now. I was brought up with a Christian work ethic. Whatever you do, be the best you can be. How can you fault this man for providing for his family. This is the secret shame that many people have. When the economy tanked, I saw people in Range Rovers at the Unemployment Office. News stories are abundant with college grads taking minimum wage jobs. Yet we "shame" those who share themselves online. Let's face it...
many trolls have nothing else to do but be shameful. If they were doing anything with their lives, they wouldn't be in yours. No one can force you to feel ashamed and you MUST reject the notion that the work you do is somehow "less than" everyone else. Until you can do what you love, thrive where you are. Life isn't fair, but it balances out if you keep moving forward. BTW Geoffrey got an offer from Tyler Perry to appear on one of his shows. Who's winning now? Are you working toward your passion? Or your grave? Stay inspired and stay focused. Work to obtain the prize of the high calling. Live your best life. The purple life. How do you deal with the shame? Leave your comments below. Thanks for stopping by. Take Care and God Bless!!!
