I See You Like to Chew, Maybe You Should Chew...ON MY FIST!!!

Yeah that's a quote from my son's new favorite movie, "KungFu Panda". The message in the movie is that you have to believe that you are great, and then you can do great things. I want to bring up a different point in the movie, that being that when the Panda was being trained he was beaten and kicked around unmercifully he didn't mind because it took his mind off of how he felt about himself. That got me thinking. Do you ever think what life would be like if you were something or someone different. I do...every night just about, and it either motivates me to be better for five minutes, or it reminds me of where I am in life. I sometimes lay awake and think about how life would be if I had tons of money. It would be about the same with less stress and maybe a car that I actually owned instead of borrowing from others. I wouldn't have to rely on others. I think about what life would be like if I had a different personality, if I would have the drive and focus to do other things. I think about what life would be like if I had a different profession. Interesting enough, I always have my wife and kid in the picture, that fact never changes. So I guess my subconscious is telling me that I got one thing perfectly right. Alright so that's what grinding my gears at the moment.

Brian that is a really heart felt post. I think you are on the right track. Very few people when they die say gee I wish I had more money or a better car. They usually are thinking did I do all I could do to let my family know how much I care about them. So you are a wise man you have wisdom that many people never learn.
