Not what I want to be…

1

Scott at the Office1It’s a beautiful Sunday morning in Las Vegas but for most of it my mind has been plagued with what I am not, who I am not and the things I don’t have to be a successful student, entrepreneur, father, husband, etc.

It would be one thing if all that was going through my mind was untrue, but it makes for a daunting morning when there’s some validity to these negative, spirit breaking thoughts.

I DON’T have all the things I want. Nor am I the man that I WANT to be. But I am definitely not the man I used to be. And I have all that I need and more to accomplish the tasks of today.

The only commodity I’m truly lacking is time. I get 24 hours in a day like everyone else on this planet. So lacking time is my perspective.

It’s getting through tough times like these that has helped me grow into the man I am today. So the only way for me to be the man I WANT to be is to be the man that I am!

Use the time I have wisely and be the man that I am.

What helped me this morning was recalling some of those unforgettable people in my life. Past and present.

I say recalling, but what happened was I could hear their voices reciting the foundational information that has helped me continue to strive and persevere through to today.

It was cloudy and cool this morning because the clouds were blocking the sunrise. But the sun has now risen above those clouds and is shining bright.

Those clouds were my thoughts, the sun my spirit and my Don’t Forget Abouts… people the power to keep my spirit rising.

As long as I stay focused, aware and open to grow, I can accept who I am today with confidence and know that’s the only way I will ever be the man I WANT to be.

I’m a Miracle in Motion today!

Don’t forget about Don’t Forget Abouts…
I’ll see you back here soon.

Thanks for reading and sharing in this with me.

Peace.

  1. Your reflection is almost poetic–
    There use to be this song that was sung in church back in the day “Please be patient with me, God is not through with me yet,” I know for myself those lyrics still apply. And I’ve yet to meet a person who is compete… It’s something how those who are an example for others don’t realize it.
    Your humility says something about your character. Thanks for sharing!
