Life, Dreams, and Happiness
When I was young I always believed I would have a successful life, which at the time meant a good job, fancy cars, a wife, kids, and all of the usual trimmings that Americans use to define success. With all of those ambitious plans it never donned on me that my life would be better than I ever imagined. For that, I thank my faith and the quality relationships that I’ve built with family and friends of all ages and all across the globe. Because of you, I’ve learned happiness is not about a high paying job, or a house you buy, or a car you drive, or a something that you marry into; at least not for me. For me, happiness is simply something that you are.

Life’s Travesty
If we were willing we could be so much more; and that is the travesty of life. To fall into the trap of mediocrity when our dreams are within reach. To fail due to lack of effort when a little bit of work is all that’s needed. To get scared and turn back to the familiar just before reaching our destination. To be beat because we never tried rather than we took the risk and fell short. To put our dreams off as if our time will go on forever, just before our time runs out…
…and the worst part is the children watch this travesty. No matter how much we encourage them to pursue their dreams, what they see are us, their role models, the people they look up to wasting their gifts away. Our actions become their expectations and their norm. Our failures become their failures because we’re teaching them that this is what life is.
Why should you pursue your dreams? Because tomorrow depends on it.
Life is Beautiful
Life is too beautiful and our blessings are too plentiful not to be thankful. Today I want to encourage all of my family, friends, associates, and anyone whose path I happen to cross to shed the shackles of all those negative things in your life that are holding you down, back, or keeping you from moving forward – and to leap into the arms of your personal freedom.
Life is too beautiful and our blessings are too plentiful not to be thankful. Good morning.
