Personal Recipe

In five years, I would never want to be someone who was quick to find an excuse. That person would be so weak psychologically,

and so timid spiritually. I would be 38 years old and would likely have two kids, at the least. I would be one of a handful of models for my kids. I want my children to know a dad who is confident from within the spine, from the energy and spirit that comes from inside the spine. I would never want to be a person who didn't walk his talk, who acted for himself and his family. I want to be a beacon. I would never want to be anyone who was angry or bitter over not doing what they want to do. I would never want to be dark, unlit, faded. Children pick up so much and I never want them to pick up the energy that would emit from someone who made excuses and was bitter over those excuses.

I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is for itself and not for a spectacle. I much prefer that it should be of a lower strain, so it be genuine and equal, than that it should be glittering and unsteady. I wish it to be sound and sweet, and not to need diet and bleeding. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Think about the type of person you’d NEVER want to be 5 years from now. Write out your own personal recipe to prevent this from happening and commit to following it. “Thought is the seed of action.”
