I entered this year with a different mindset from years past, any form of bitterness/unforgiveness/negative thinking were fully eradicated. It was finally time to reach that high note somewhere between a soprano and a mezzo-soprano; No longer would I be a driver constantly looking back hitting obstacles and being impeded time and time again. No mas! No mas! This time I was focused looking ahead two hands on the wheel, the past in my rear-view mirror as I was accelerating toward the aspirations I set for myself long ago. So join the ride it’s only been three months but………
I just started writing again daily last summer after a long lay-off; I just became motivated again and started just putting my thoughts into words. My passion for writing goes back to when I was a wee little lad with a speech impediment and expressing my thoughts on paper daily. The library was my playground and the dictionary, thesaurus and encyclopedias were my swings, slides and my monkey bars so to speak. After just emptying my mind daily on my blog and personal drafts, I decided to just send an article in to a community newspaper. And gasp to my amazement the response from the editor was amazing and my first piece of work ever was published. This little push is all that I needed and now I’m fully motivated and back to penning my manuscript and expecting great things ahead.
And there’s more………
For many years I sought after a new profession, I never took the course of action that seriously though. I’d brush up my resume send it out and after a week yawn throw in the towel. Competition seemed to stiff, there were individuals looking for jobs with a superior education background than me that also had more relevant experience at hand. I had no confidence in what I could offer an organization so I’d just hang tight and be grateful for what I had (at least I had a job right?). The negative thinking had me in a stagnant situation killing any seeds of growth or confidence and impeding my destiny. I set out this year with a clear goal in mind, don’t give up – continue to be focused and to have faith in my abilities. And through circumstances beyond my control I was blessed with an opportunity and grasped it. Yes that’s right – the perfect job opened up for me, tailored to everything I desired, it would seem almost impossible for the situation to be even better than it is.

Oh wait there’s more………
Just like Einstein I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue. So I’m not here to boast of my good works or deeds or glow in the limelight like look at me. I’ll admit it I was spoiled, I was selfish and I looked down on others. When I first started donating to charities I just looked at it as a tax break and a hey look at me I’m doing a good deed and when I started volunteering at shelters I just looked at it as something to spruce up my resume. My intent was ghastly to say it politely, from the exterior it was wow your doing a great deed but it was all out of selfish desires. So while doing my taxes the other day, I decided to not claim for any charitable donations. When I donated it was not from the heart and well
I have been humbled, my heart is warm and I have had the great honor in meeting some of the nicest people I have met in a long while.
That’s all folks!!!
If you told me last year at this time how my life would be now, I wouldn not believe you at all. For the first time in a long while, I’m happy the direction my life is headed.
make sure the effort and feelings are mutual brehs cause damn having someone you aint feeling like that constantly hitting you up is annoying as hell i can see why these bytches take so long with there replies
