Life begins, again

They say you get one shot at life. Well, I don't know who "they" are but that's not true. It is true that opportunity may show up once in a life time, but you can change your life at anytime for the better or otherwise.

Case in point, I just got a part time job at Wal Mart. Yes, I will be the old guy in the electronics dept. I'm tired of being in debt and having nothing at the end of the month so the decision was made a while back to supplement my income and invest all that into debt reduction strategies. After which, a new Harley Davidson Softail will grace my garage. Time will pass and I don't see this situation fixing itself. So I am changing things for the better.

I have a dear friend that has embarked on a new adventure. A complete lifestyle change is waiting. Uncertainty is gripping the edges and threatening to pull the desire for betterment apart thread by thread until it's nothing but a tattered dream. Yet, she soldiers on. I have seen a dramatic change in her over the past few months. She knows the danger of her decision and the fickle nature of people. She keeps going. She is willing to sacrifice all she has just to be happy and not live in a cage where everything is decided for her. She is what I call a Strong Girl!

Change comes everyday, I once wrote about it and sometimes it is thrust upon you. Some of those changes hurt. When my friend, the Strong Girl, decided to make a change, others were thrust into the chaos of change they had no say so in. It will be interesting to see how they adapt to it. Strong Girl is thriving. Fighting like a true warrior. Learning and applying the knowledge to life. She will do well. She still worries about others, and that is good, but living a life in a ditch just to make someone else happy isn't making the most important person happy. Yourself.

Remember, you can't make someones else happy. You can set the table for happiness but it's up to them to sit down and enjoy it.

Fight on Strong Girl!!! I look forward to seeing you continue to grow and become more than what you ever thought you could!
