Actually, I'm 39 years old with 15 years experience. You do the math! Well, I'm sure most of us have a difficult time writing about ourselves. I am no exception, I can, however, share my feelings about who I really want to be and become, and will spend the rest of my days to achieve. I can do this in the form of a story I read recently and would like to share it with all of you. It begins with two very close friends who were attending the funeral of one of their closest friends. One man says to the other, "how much did he leave?"The other responded, "He left it all."Everyone leaves it all, and nobody on their death bed wishes they spent more time acquiring more to leave. But I think most people, when they look into the eyes of those they truly love, especially their true love, for the last time realize that it's that person and those people which are eternally meaningful. I have no doubt that many people realize in those parting moments that they should have done things differently. I am no exception, and am thankful I have the chance to change.We all know in the depths of our hearts what's really important in life, I seemed to have forgotten, got distracted, and took way to much for granted. So consider this short story as a gentle reminder to refocus on those you love and love you, because at the end of our days, we'll have a moment with our loved ones, our spouse or sweetheart that will define the meaning of our lives. It's only a moment, but it takes a lifetime to prepare for it. It's never to late to begin, so begin now, I am! So how do we do it you ask? Well, did you ever notice the dust particles floating in front of a window on a sunny day? Isn't it interesting that if you change your position just slightly you can't see them anymore. They're there. Then they're not there. It all depends on the angle you are looking. It's nothing more than clarity. So the answer is right in front of us all, all we need is a slight change of perspective and then everything becomes clear, and once we see things clearly, it becomes clear what we all need to do. You see, we all become stuck in the way we see things, so before anything can be different, we have to be able to see the dust particles. It's probably just a slight change in perspective that we need, but it can make an enormous difference in our circumstances, and when we are open to seeing ourselves, then we can make all the difference in the world to those we love. Yes, WE'D ALL LEARN by accepting our own faults, and to STOP DENYING or blaming others for them. So be happy today, and make those around you happy. If you've hurt someone, ask for forgivness, unless, of course, you are perfect. Remember always, there is nothing, and I mean nothing, broken that can't be fixed!!!!I edited my profile with robE
