Why Do You Want What You Want

-




Uh oh! Here We Go Again, here it comes. The hot sweats, dizziness, where's my wife? "Honey, I need you to watch me for a few minutes".

 That's always the last thing I would say before I went down along with placing my hand somewhere on her body then drift in and out for a few minutes. The Crash & Burn as I called it , is all too familiar to the diabetic. Then there was the spinal issue during those days that kept me grounded 24/7. I miss being Mr Physical and it wasn’t just my age. This is only a portion of my WHY.

 ▪ WHY the steadfast determination to leave the rat race behind.

 ▪ WHY the drastic change in my eating habits.

 ▪ WHY the single minded focus on making my life into what I want it to be.

 ▪ WHY I will never be so selfish as to deny my wife the experience of my best.




Having a family history of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, I firmly believe that alcohol and a 9 to 5 job that is less than fulfilling has the strong potential of killing you early. This cannot and will not be my fate. Having made that decision now it is my obligation to put action into it and fulfill what is meant to be.

 There is a little about my WHY, so what's yours? What drives you? WHY is opening that t-shirt shop so important to you? Do you love life and crave new experiences so much that NOT going to university overseas is off the table? What do you want is question one. However; question two is not How bad do you want it but WHY do you want it! Stew on that for awhile.

 Motivational Passion or the passion that motivates us is such an individual thing that it can't be covered in one conversation or even one tape series. Billions of people on this planet yet there is no way to truly put anyone in a box. The human brain, the will of man does not allow such simplicity of organization.

 True, some folks know what they're meant to do very early in life. I've met and read about people who knew their passion as young as 12 and 13 years of age. Most of us however; we have to experience things in life and listen for the divine within our soul.

 Finding your passion is an individual journey. For tips on how to find out what your true passion is, watch the video within this article and participate in the exercise presented. If you don't yet know your passion, this exercise will at least aid in setting you on the path to finding out.

As the World Changes I Remain Flexible

The following is from my Ebook  Now It's My Turn  on Amazon. Setting Goals in Detail The wisest man who ever lived, King Solomon, said, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Gaining a clear and precise vision brings life to our innermost being. Having no vision at all, not knowing the direction we should take, and having no dreams takes life from us because we have nothing of any consequence to live for. Basically, find your purpose in life, and you will truly have a life worth living. Some people know exactly what they want and are meant to do from a very young age. Others need to focus and experience different situations both positive and negative. I found out from trial and error and from seeking God what my personal mission in life is. Perhaps your journey is similar. Your purpose in life could be to run for public office, or it could be to raise responsible children who will go out into the world and make a difference. It could be nothing more th

The Good Doctor Pt-2

The Good Doctor - Pt 1 When we last left our weary travelers, they had just received the worst news an exhausted and exacerbated traveler could get especially in front of witnesses. CREDIT CARD DECLINED!!! With veins popping and expletives flowing the good Dr. Cut-Me-Up was about ready to Stroke Out! But wait...Mrs. Cut-Me-Up thinking quickly whips out her iPhone as if it’s a Walther PPK and she’s been given a license to kill...or rather charge. Yes, that’s right the Apple Farm Inn accepts Apple Pay. (I’m willing to bet most of our staff doesn’t know this). Quicker than you can say Apple Dumpling their room was secured. With a little help from a House Man, the couple, their luggage along with their wine glasses arrived at his personal favorite room 300. Barely in a seat the phone rings. “ Ah what is it now ” growls the doctor.                                                                   “ Hello, this is Claudia the ni

A Day in the Life of an Event Staff Employee or, What Ever Happened to the Other Guys?

The following is my best recollection of the North Hollywood Shoot Out  February 28, 1997 This posting of "A Day In The Life" flows in the same vain as the  A Day In The Life Of An Airport Shuttle Driver . Its all about my life chapter during the 1990's while earning a living in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California.  But this time, rather than the Northridge Earthquake we're on the Universal Studios hill watching the Bank of America in North Hollywood. Wow what a day. photo courtesy of Personlliberty.com First, let me begin by adamantly stating that although memory fades, I know what I saw...they did not catch everyone. Unlike my piece on the Northridge Earthquake this is not so much the telling of a story as it is an observation with a question. One of many places of employment I had in the 1990's was for an event security company hired by at the time known as the Universal Amphitheatre at Universal Studios . It was actually a coo
