When the end is near

When they ask me:
Why would you go?
Who do you know?
How do you feel?
Why give it all up and start anew?
I answer, I'm not doing this for them or for you
I don't feel fear
I don't feel numb
I do this to see what I will become!

No Mo Money...Last Day of Work

I received an e-mail from a friend at work today and he simply said "you only go around once...you might as well enjoy it" That's basically what it all comes down to. As I get ready to leave behind my source of income, my co-workers, my friends, my clients, and my vast knowledge of the trucking industry I am more certain then ever that this is a step I need to take in my life. It's hard not to reflect on the past year and a half without questioning the future, but as they say "you only go around once"
Nebraska has been fun, but it's time for a new adventure...

thank you to all of my co-workers you guys have been great and I hope we can stay in touch!

Edwin H. Friedman:

The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech.

Love...

Not a gift from God, but the reality of our drive in everything we do. There are all types of Love, Love for oneself, Love for others, Love for your God, Love for your boats, Love for your cars, Love for money, etc. We do everything for our pursuit to find love. However, I do believe that there are few moments where you can witness a Love that doesn't have repercussions: Others can let you down, you may lose yourself, and boats can sink. But, I have to believe that the Love I saw Saturday night is the Love that God intended all of us to have. True Love is adapting to the weather, being completely oblivious but dedicated to the end result, True Love is a porno kiss in a Federal building in front of your grandparents, it's a giant leap of faith into a foreign world. And it's everything God intended us to have.

Happy 3 Day Anniversary Matt and Brooke!!

Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre
