Reflection

Day 3-  

“Am I the son I think I am? Am I the friend I think I am? Am I the man I think I wanna be?” - Train

After creating my Bucket list and hearing the comments from many friends, I have come to a few conclusions. I am a man with two souls; a Gordon Gecko with a hippie bent, equal parts mogul and minstrel.

At times feeling like a one man band playing just as fast as I can, albeit just a bit off time.

So it begs the question, how does one man serve two masters? Maybe more importantly, can he?

And I wonder why I have been confused. Maybe I’m on to something here.

So, to create a business that fuels my passions and allows me the opportunity to serve others.

“For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.”- Luke 12:48

I have heard this quote in various forms for many years. Not being a religious man, I had no idea its origin was a bible verse. But I trust in its meaning and believe in its premise. I hope to use this as one of my daily mantras.

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin"

Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results.” Well I am tired of being insane. Today is the day that I start being the person that I have always wanted to be.

I’m going to look inside myself and figure out my whys. Why do I sell myself short? Why do I not pursue my passions? Why am I never content…and dozens of other big “life” questions.

It sounds ominous, and maybe it is. But it is also liberating to strip your soul bare and start fresh like a Marine in boot camp, broken down to only be built back up stronger.

I’m not sure where to start or where to stop, but I know there are steps that will need to be taken including time alone, time to seek the council of the people I respect, time to research, and time to break myself down and build myself up again.

It will be a long trip but a fun one, care to join me?
