One man’s agony is another man’s dream. One man’s nightmare is another man’s reality. Rich, poor, fat skinny, popular, nerdy, happy, sad, and successful or failure, it is all relevant. How we see ourselves is what’s most important. This directly correlates to our direct relationships with others. People that really matter to us the most, either suffer or benefit by how we feel about ourselves.
I tend to quit when I don’t get my way. If I do not see the kind of results I get frustrated and walk away. It is a terrible trait that I have developed that coincides with my need for quick fixes. It is easy for me to hurt others due to my position at work. I can hire and fire people, I can send someone out of town knowing that this would cause marital issues. I can make someone have a bad day, Bad week, and a bad month. I hate on others because it is a quick fix. When I want to feel good I quickly turn things to show what a hero I am. I get positive attention from the big boss’s; I get in favor with supervisors and employees. My peers even our envious because they seem not to have any control over their personnel. How is it possible for me to be such a devil and angel at will?
My wife is such a wonderful person. She sees the world as endless possibilities. She says we must protect ourselves from predators. The come in all shapes colors and sizes. You can always tell a person’s true quality and integrity not by the kind of car he drives or the house he lives in, but by the kind of kids he is raising, the home he has made and the relationships he endears.
In today’s society, I am considered obese, a smoker, an alcoholic. In the corporate world I am a man on the move. I am a whiz kid. In their eyes I’m a kid although I just turned 38 yrs old in June. Most of the executives are in their sixties. They drink and smoke too much, they’re the walking dead, but they’re all millionaires. They all are passing down knowledge because they know they can’t take it with them and they know it is in their best interests to leave a legacy.
My wish is that I can change my ways. I am blessed with what I have, a wonderful wife, excellent kids, terrific family, and great friends. My need for personal satisfaction, instant gratification, and a desire to win, is sending me to an early grave. I am going to start giving my best to me so I can pass it on to everyone else that loves me, cares about me, because isn’t that what’s life all about?
Each individual, living in or out of sync with the universe;
