Who Are WE??
A long time ago I answered this same question. And, Yes it
was a long time ago! In fact it was over a decade ago and I can pin point the
day I just don’t feel like dating myself or going into too much background. If
you want the skinny and care that much; I will give you the personal account. Over lunch!
I knew who I was and knew where I was going!
Now!?
Not so sure. In fact I am at a crossroads.
I have three kids, a wonderful wife, a widowed mother and I
lost my father and best friend. Yes the last two are completely separate. I
love my mother and my father is now not able to take care of her like he did
for 38 years so it does separate things a bit.
The facts are that life changes and with life… We change!
I quit smoking!
I quit working!
I am invested in three children who look up to me to make
them independent and successful.
Life is full of change and stress!
So who am I?
I know more about myself today than I have ever known my 36
years in existence!
So why the hell am I still scared?!
I feel that the truth of all of us, is the fear of change. I
am willing to face my change head on and see my flaws. This is scary! I am flawed and I need help. Yes I need
help!
Recently I was shown some invaluable lessons by a young man
of the age of 19!
Talk about Humbling!
Yet here I am, an unemployed 36 year old student scared to
death of the change that is taking place in my life and the 80 or so teen and
twentysomethings that are surrounding him!
I am scared that I am going to fail. Lose everything and
have to start all over again… Yet I am still here! I am honestly working at
making it happen!
Most important, I am giving it a chance to succeed!
So, I am a success because, I gave it a chance!
I guess; the real question is will success give me a chance?
Well, Will it???
