Game On

After a hellish week I ended my Friday on a surprising note with an unexpected twist from the least expected person.  Not that this person isn't full of good things; in fact, just the opposite. As I was saying my good byes to a mutual friend and colleague his goodbye speech really struck a cord deep within to inspire me and knock me out of my negative mind set for the time being on a variation of personal topics.   

Lately, I really feel as if I have been hitting a brick wall or running right into one a full speed to be more direct.  I see it right in front of me but something doesn't stop me....I just keep gunning for it. Fall. Get up. Do it again.  I sit here and preach on how it would be nice to teach the 'old dogs new tricks'. Not to discredit myself as I still think I rock as an individual, but since nobody is perfect I realized today there is still a lot I can learn in life from simple little things people say and do in passing. 

The inspiration speech was a twist off the book "If Life Was A Game These Are The Rules". Rule: "There" is no better then "Here"

I realized I really need to start living more for the here, otherwise I will hit the same brick wall without ever trying new alleys and new brick walls.  I am a very forward, adventurous, outgoing individual and see great things for myself and know I deserve the best. But why is it that I let myself get stuck with these feelings sometimes that I don't have the strength to push through on and prefer to moan and groan on the "There" and not the "Here".  

I think I need to start pushing more for the "Here" and maybe it will get me "There" that much faster and be able to embrace what I have been yearning for so long.  

Last Rule: Once you have learned all the rules, you will forget, and have to learn them all over again.
