Almost euphoric! I honestly must say I’ve never felt like this in my life. Most of it spent worrying about what happens next and how to accomplish it. Now I’m more relax then I’ve ever been about life and my outlook.

Yes I may want people who I work with to have my drive and direction but there’s only so much you can push people. Because every person has there own agenda and sometimes it may cross paths with yours and other times it may clash. A true leader recognizes this clash sooner then later and knows how to differentiate between taking the lead in some cases and to step out of the way in other cases. The ultimate goal is to try to direct moving the whole kit and kabodle in the same direction and completing what ever project there is. Whether business or personal. So I look forward to the rest of my life, with the enjoyment it will bring with meeting new and exciting people and projects, and can’t wait to explore what’s around that next corner and embrace whatever it has in store…

It could be that your working with the wrong people in life. If you want to succeed at anything in life of course you need the motivation and perseverance but most important you need good people around you. Things will move a lot faster with the right people supporting you and you supporting them. Took me some time to figure this out. A lot of headaches in the past are laying on my historic battlefields. I’m lucky to have at this stage of my life’s journey to have surrounded myself with these kind of people.

Another tip is to find a mentor who will take you under their wing and show you the ropes so you won’t have to keep banging your head against the wall after you hit a dead end through life’s complicated mazes. That’s what I’m working on. I have good knowledge right now but I’m willing to learn. Because knowledge is wisdom and life…

Obama With Baby

I can only remember being close to my dad when I was real young something like 9 or 10. Ya see he got the alcohol sickness and then he started to lose his mind. You ever had a person that you cared about so deeply that you just had to keep your distance so you wouldn’t get hurt? Yep that’s the relationship that I had with my father. Yea we had great times we were young, my family that is, but once that sickness came he sort of went into his own world. A very abusive world that was physical and mental.

I respect fathers out there that nurture, build and support their kids life from the time they come in to this world and all throughout their life. It’s how it should be! Unfortunately I’ve missed out on that relationship and I think it may have an affect my relationships today to which I still deal with it. But at least I understand what’s going on. A lot of people don’t and let their situations go down the drain because they don’t know what’s affecting them. I don’t hold a grudge like I use to, about my father, but I’m still very protective and selective of who gets close to me. Because letting someone get close is giving them the power to hurt in my book. But now and then I do try.

Anyhow Peace!
