Direction?

         This is an open letter, to all who wish to read.  I am very distraught in my time here.  I have just about everything that anyone could want in this world.  Yet I am depressed beyond belief only because I know I am not fulfilling my purpose.  As a man my job is what I do, I just can't wrap my fingers around the fact that I know I am working where I don't belong.  This leaves me feeling empty.
I am always so happy and grateful for everything, but with being sick and depressed most the time, it is hard to put motivation to work for me and achieve the goals I have set for myself.

        It is my desire to personally meet and help others find what their life purpose is, a life coach.  To be able to work with someone who wants to achieve more in their lives and help them reach the top, wherever it may be for them.  Truly my gift is with people, and I need to use it.  There is no reason for me to be depressed so much, other than my chronic migraines I am perfectly healthy.  I have a beautiful wife, with who I have been with for 8 years.  Two wonderful sons, age 3 and 1, a rescue greyhound who I adore, a very affordable but more than necessary house that is big for my family, amazing relatives who are proud of me and happy, plus some of the truest friends a man could ever ask for.  I have no reason to be melancholy except in the area of work.  Which is another thing, I love my boss, who I consider more of a friend than a boss,  who has given me everything I could ever need, including a great paying position and benefits, but if I am not fulfilled, so I need to ask myself, is that everything?

        I am quite thankful for all of these things.  Especially when it comes to my job.  Although, I will not feel the joy that I need to feel unless I am helping others through their careers and tough times.  I want to help people achieve their dreams.  I need to be mobile, always in motion, always talking and helping other people.  I cannot be stagnant, immobile, this adds to my despair.  So I wake up this morning, and take my responsibilities into my own hands, to dream a bit more and act on my thoughts.  If I must change things than right now is the best time to do that.  So I choose to walk on my own, through a ever changing world.  To soldier on for a true cause, my cause, to make me whole.

America Matters

Why does America matter? 

In times of crisis political leaders should be giving their condolences and attention to prayers and emotional support for any who need.  What they shouldn't be doing is trying to capitalize on someone else's heartache and nightmare.  If we live in a society which wants to focus on positive relationships and the good in people, then we should be focusing on the calls to prayer, not the calls regulate.

This is an opportunity, as a country, The Greatest Country, to come together and reflect upon ourselves as a entire group of citizens which make up a society and slow down to think towards the decisions we make.  Almost all crime comes from some sort of selfishness.  I believe it has become apparent that we need more self-less people, such as the hero's of 9-11 who took over the plane in Pennsylvania or the teachers and kids who sacrificed themselves to save other children in the Newtown Tragedy.  We should all be thinking of these things and not just after an atrocity but throughout the entire year.

Everyday we should be grateful for all of the abundant things we have in this great land.  A house, a job, food, friends, family, a car or two, the freedoms that are all too often taken for granted.  Slow down and look at what you have, if I could offer some advice to your life,  take in things in a delicate balance.

Look at the things you do and try to balance your life, sometimes the sanity and peace is there among the patient. 

Thank God Everynight for What You Do Have

That is Why America Matters.
