Old Dog, New Tricks!

Don’t allow yourself to be complacent about your current situation.  It’s quite simple to let your life simply cascade by day by day without the need to change or improve.

My world was interrupted and as a result everything I think about has a new perspective.  Old friends and love ones now appear in a different light. Who would of thought!

My contributions and actions that were once committed to a desired outcome are now reshuffled.  New realities re-prioritize your daily activities.

Today and each day forward I am a new man changed by the world’s life lessons.  I look forward to dedicating my talents and all that I have learned to new objectives and goals.

Trust me; it is not fun to start down a tough path with a desired plan with one hand of cards and life deals you a different hand.  However, that is the real world folks and I am grateful now that I learned that lesson.  Life is not all cake and ice cream.

Every day my eyes are a bit wider.  I now bring to the table a newer version of and old dog that has learned new tricks!  I am getting over a bit of disappointment and smiling a little more each day.

I know what I am capable of and hopefully a new landing platform will be available in order for me to launch a new version of “Noble One!”

I am so thankful that I took the time to “giveback” to this world.  It has matured me and brought me countless new friends and relationships. 

The privilege was mine to change my close friends lives and more importantly, young folks lives that now are impacted for a lifetime!  It is quite an honor and very gratifying.

Tomorrow and the next offer a new future and I am excited about the possibilities.  I am thankful that I have new tools in my toolbox and the wisdom from lessons learned.

So my advice to you!  Be careful where you anchor your ship, a storm awaits and you need to make sure to set your sails to ride out a new adventure.

Why?  It sucks to sink!

Why Change?

Think about it, when life is giving you cake and ice cream , why rock the boat, why change?


When your family is happy and you look forward to coming home, why change?


People change for all sorts of reasons.  Usually it has something to do with being uncomfortable.  However change is not easy or comfortable!


When you select change understand that potentially everyone in your world is invited to change as well!  Don't take change lightly.


I find myself today in "change" mode!  It truly is an interesting phenomena for me.  I'm somewhat of a steady Eddie.  You can set your clock to my habits on a daily basis.  I do everything I can to build a steady platform to live my life and then duplicate actions and attitude to preserve the comfort of not needing to change!


It takes a pretty good size event to rock my world however in my 59 youthful years I have already had a few.  What does that do for me?  It allows me to take that next step even when I don't quite know where it will take me!  A new path, new adventure, new life! 


On these last few trips around the sun I learned a significant new life lesson!  My change can cause change in others.  In these last few days after moving away from one life and steering towards another I find myself surrounded by love and gratitude from countless folks that jumped on my train and took a life changing ride! 


You might consider a change good for you, however let me share this!  There is something very powerful in knowing your efforts made a difference in someone else's life beyond your own! 


These changes fortunately last! It's pretty cool to watch old friends and new ones become better folks!  It's a whole lot cooler when you change a teenager's life and watch a renaissance of new behavior placing them on a new productive path!


Looking back at past changes in my life.  Each time I got to set a few more things straight and experience life in a new way that was not known prior to embarking on a different direction. 


Life sometimes is like a speedboat.  You can steer straight and stay in the channel or explore more unique tributaries, however you can't change the wake of your boat.  As I look back at mine, I am fortunate that it makes me smile wide!


Don't go a changing unless perhaps you might want to help others change! 


Consider that!
