On January 25th 2022, I made a post about my nephew Kyle. The post was called How To Motivate A Young Man. Kyle had come to stay at our house, in the hope that I could help him. His problem was that he would not keep a job. He had three good jobs, and quit them all within a month. At the time, I thought he was lazy, and, I came down pretty hard on him. My wife took him to a specialist, and he was prescribed medicine for an anxiety disorder. Now, he's a different person. He's worked for the county road crew for two years, and has moved up to a supervisor position, with a good pay raise. He has perfect attendance on his job, and, is attending night classes at a local junior college, studying computer programming. He's engaged to a really sharp girl now also. I'm proud of him, and am very happy for him. My nephew taught me a lesson in all of this. Anxiety is a very real thing. It can affect people in different ways. What I thought was laziness was not the case at all. If you know a person who suffers from anxiety, try to get them some help if you can. They may be able to turn things around in a good way. Kyle and I will be fishing together this Saturday morning. He's doing fine now.
