You gotta start asking yourself the home hitting questions:

What are the things that I keep doing in loops?  Do I find myself year after year in the same place that I was before even when the people in my life have changed? Do I attract the same types of personalities or do I simply draw out of each person the traits that I  am most comfortable with, good or bad.

I am the common denominator here.

I not only want more out of life and from myself and others, I need more. I came across some writing someplace that said, "Life is an illusion"… This would mean to me that I have a huge hand in creating as well as destroying said "illusion". 

I can run through a few clichés in my head right now even, but the truth of the matter is that these words were given to help the willing. I am now just that…willing to be me. I am willing to learn how to be myself all of the time, I am willing to not allow my own self-stifling to destroy what I am creating within myself and the life that I share with others. I am willing to "live within the moment".

Warriors can be peaceful. 

Mind, body, and Soul. Focus.

Work hard as if you are woking for Jesus, take care of your marriage as if you are in a relationship with the Lord. I pray that He shows me much guidance on how to do this. I imagine respect and love is on the top of this list.
