*My outlook on life in a nutshell...or a J-nutshell, if you must...=P*
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
I'm walking this path one step at a time.
Walking, running, stopping to rest.
I'll sometimes stop and take a look at the past, how far I've gone, what I've gone through, places I've been, people I've met.
I'll look at where I am, what's around me, gratify the fact that I'm able to be where I am, and with who I am with.
Sometimes I get lost on this path, just like many before me. But no matter how deep and dark in the woods I get, looking closely, there are still specks of light on the ground, shining my way back to my path again.
Sometimes, I'll take shortcuts, to cut ahead of life. But looking back, I do realize how much I have missed out if I had just stayed on path. The sights I would've seen. The people I could've met, been closer to.
I'll look to the road ahead of me. As far as the eye can see, as far as the road reaches the horizon in sight. Some things in the distance I can make out, others I'll have to travel closer to notice.
Past the horizon, past the bends in the road, I can only imagine and dream about what lies ahead. Mountains to climb, dips and falls to recover from. New paths that cross mine. Old ones that part. The company still around me.
This is my road of life. Walk with me. Run with me. Rest with me. Chill with me. Fight with me. Play with me. Study with me. Pray with me. Feel free to leave your footsteps on this path, and I can only hope and pray that I have somehow done the same for you.

..-taken from TNA/Ring of Honor wrestler Samoa Joe ...
Life is too short to sit idly by and wait for the world.
Get on your horse, slide on those shoes, go forth and go boldly.
The journey is uncertain, the guarantees are few, but the rewards are limitless and that experience is what will truly define you.
Sit on the mountain tops, swim in the seas
Touch every corner of the earth and know you lived filled to the brim leaving no room for doubt and dreams realized.
Onward young soldier,
Onward...
Samoa Joe.
