I never pictured my life going this way, but this is where it was supposed to go. I stand on the precipice of greatness. I've finally started my career, after many attempts, and I've got great things to look forward to in my future.
But this blog isn't about me, this blog is about the world we live in...
I see it every day, people living their lives and not even looking at what's right in front of them. I see people taking for granted things that should be happy for. I see people going through the motions, and I realize I used to be there. I never took the time to put my life into perspective. I didn't have a hard childhood, I didn't grow up wanting. I had anything a child could ask for and I took it for granted. I expected things to get done for me and it cost me nothing but heartache in the end. It took me losing everything to realize what I was missing in my life. I was missing a sense of purpose, a sense of being. Like I said I've talk to you on many different issues. But I don't know that I've ever truly revealed myself to anyone who has read my blog. Just like anyone, I have thoughts, and goals, and wishes, and dreams. I have beliefs.
I find myself now, starting over.
I find myself now, with a new beginning.
I find myself now, with a new purpose in life.
It's taken me almost 30 years but I found my place...my purpose... I found what I can give the world.
I wake up every day knowing that my job affects thousands. I know that the things that I do have meaning to more than just myself. I know that in the end... the things that I do may help a person, save a life, or just make someone feel better about themselves.
Information is a currency.
It is my job to give that information to anyone who may seek it.
I love my job. They say "love your job and You'll never work a day in your life."
I worked hard to get where I am...and I love my job.
I saw a video today that posed the question "what would you do if money wasn't an issue?"
I watched it, I thought about it, and the answer to the question is... exactly what I am doing.
This has been my goal for years, it's been a long road, but I'm here.
I know this blog isn't my usual, but maybe that's a good thing.
Maybe it's time for me to focus on what I can do to help this world, what my legacy will be. We don't last forever, and what we do today, will have an impact years after we're gone.
I want to leave a world for my kids where people don't have to question their rights, their leaders, the choices that they make.
I want to leave a world for my kids that they can be proud of.
We all have our roles, our places. We all have a purpose in this world. I finally found mine, what's yours?
I leave you with this thought... Don't get out of bed in the morning, with a negative attitude... Life is too short to waste it on regret. And besides... This could be the best day of your life.
