A New Beginning: Just a Few Thoughts


Life is so funny. Sometimes when you think something is going the way it should be, something happens to send your plans down another path. Is this a bad thing? Hardly. Sometimes in life we have to have our own personal derailment to get back on the right track. Over the last several months I have experienced some "divine" interventions, a few of them I thought shouldn't have taken place, but clearly now I understand why they happened. Friends as well tell me how they go through things and at that moment they don't understand why "it" happened to them. Clearly God had his plans and his way of telling us what they are is changing things in our day to day lives.

Every day I strive for excellence and encourage others to do the same. I refuse to be around people who have no ambition or have a desire to keep drama going. Those are probably the people who were in the same position they are in now, ten years ago. Some people simply do not want to change for the better or do the right thing. Yet they find the time to sit down and criticize what you are doing because they wish they could be doing it to.

In everything you do, know what you want out of it. Set goals but also take time out to smell the roses. Yes like the old cliche when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Well you know what, I make some damn good lemonade!
