No less than 4 times in the past 24 hours I have been humbled, awed, and blessed in that some things I said and did have motivated people to make positive changes in their lives that will in turn positively affect other lives. This is the highest complement I could be given. And yes in a way it surprises me. Why? Over the past 4 or 5 years I have made some great changes in my life. You see for so many years, more then 20, I was a toxic self-defeating person. If you knew back then you might not have known. I hid it well in view but behind that scenes I was toxic. Not a nice person. One that lived as if he could do nothing right. My self-esteem was low low. Just asked my wife, Tammy, or my children. They can testify. However, over time I came to the conclusion that I was tired of that person. Life was not going to be worth it without the change. No life would be. Change became not an option or health problems would keep growing. Friends and family were concerned about me having a stroke or heart attack. Thus I am ecstatic that positive changes in my life have yielded and are yielding positive changes for others. The ultimate complement. I am blessed and motivated, and my greatest goal is to pass on that motivation and blessing. Now a reminder for us all. You never know who is watching you, who is listening to you, and what your impact can be. One final note. In this I am planting a seed. Some of you may know the concept. I have a huge dream that is connected to this post. It is not logical for my circumstances at this point but it is a dream that is at the forefront of my thinking everyday. It is not a dream that I can make happen or coerce into existence. It will have to happen on its own as I grow and expand my minds ability to conceive and believe. This dream is connected to at least one other large dream. All that said it is possible and I believe.This is not something I will share but the seed is planted. All I ask from my friends is that you believe with me. Never forget no matter what your dream whether it is not rational, not logical, not probable, BUT it is always POSSIBLE.
