Filling in the void……

It would be insane to think that everything you want or need can be found in one person but not entirely impossible. Just as no man/woman is an island we find pieces of things we need and pieces of us in others. In the case of relationships….you can find a good deal of what you want in someone but usually not all that you look or hope for…and that is where your friends fill in.

We’re all just intricate puzzle pieces….

It is said that you’re only as strong as your weakest man. If that is the truth, then people waste a great amount of time dealing with the asshole in the room instead of preparing for the idiot in the room who is, by far, more dangerous to the cause.

About time for a change….again.

So every year I’ve made it almost tradition to reach a point of reconstruction and enlightment. A revise to an approach to life and trying to learn new and more things. I’m content with what I know and have gotten thus far but now my efforts are for new goals set and for true interest. 

Anyway, during that time period I set a theme for myself because often with new ideas and changes comes a bit of confusion and that can cause problems.

This time the theme is No excuses. Which really requires a militant approach. I may step on toes in that process but that doesn’t bother me nor do I mean it in I’ll will. If I succeed in changes and learning for the betterment then great, if not, then I find the reason as to why but I make no excuses for it. If I do something in mishap, then there is no excuse. Most learn this in the military and given my background around military and the militant. I feel it is a very applicable to make sure I get things done.

Well, here is to a more education which leads to knowledge, better understanding which helps with application and turns to wisdom.

A salute to my mentors.

Lets begin this Enlightenment and Reconstruction once more…..

Babies are interesting and to each their own little quirks even at such an early period. I had to sing jazz to put this one to sleep. Nothing else was working until I did that. haha

Late night thoughts…..

If I died today or tomorrow; I would have no regrets other than one close call. My life has never stopped serving its purpose, even when I turned my back on it. Even when I didn’t agree with it. In it’s rebellious efforts, I have been what I needed to be when I needed to be it and where I was supposed to be. It’s almost an inheritance. As a result, my life may not be extravagant and I may not have done things measured significant as some others but my life treads grounds and makes a significant impact where few out of nature want to tread. Are to stubborn, fearful, or idealistic to tread. I do a lot of good there.  

Sometimes I wish I could experience the world as many others do just for the almost idealistic idea of normal, but that has never been my life. Overall, I’m at peace with that. I’m not saying I’m unique because that would be vain and I would hope there is more who have this in common out there but I can’t even, till this day, explain my life, my actions, my experience, and sometimes my observations. It treads a fine line that to me shows that my existence disproves a lot of things.

Welp, time to go to bed. What an interesting night.

It is a lot to ask and expect of one individual to give you everything you need in life…..

It would be an unfair burden to expect all that we need to make it through life to come from one person. Now in the name of human variability this may be possible but a hefty load. Now, to be clear, I’m not saying anything that condones unethical or morally challenged actions. I’m saying—from the stand point— that often the values, incentives, feelings, or motivations we need to get through life we can’t expect them to always come from one person whether a spouse, friend, family member, or EVEN ourselves. That is a lot to ask and irrational depending on the person we put these expectations on.

It is important to be well rounded. Surrounding ourselves with “yes” people, “no” people, and “maybe” people….and expecting that often we may not get what we want from these people but when it counts we hope for what we NEED from them and not depending on one person to be the source of what we need. We may have to get it from someone else. Especially, when we need it most.
