While I was in the Philippines, I met Dennis.
Five years ago, he was found sleeping under a tree in front of a hotel. Life had hit him hard — his family left, and he fell into a deep depression and was living in the streets. He believed he wasn’t good enough… because that’s what he was told most of his life.
But he’s trying. Got his taxi license. Still healing, but he’s showing up.
I sat down with him. Shared a little of my own struggles — career setbacks, relationship issues, moments of doubt.
Told him this:
“It doesn’t matter what others think. You’re still here. You’ve still got time. So make every day count.”
Got this picture at the airport and felt compelled to share it.
👉 Stay grateful.
👉 Stay in the fight.
👉 Choose progress over pity.
And if you needed this today — pass it on.... with love Tony Kurtulan
