Discoveries:
Today I discovered that sometimes when you lose you actually win. Somehow, despite the fact that I never completed a traditional collegiate education due to life’s circumstance I received an education through living life. I got my high school diploma on the streets of Chicago, my bachelor’s degree at work, my Master’s out in the field doing Commercial Sales and I am working on my Doctorate by not being fearful of doing the things I’ve never done to get the things I’ve never had. It’ll take work but I am Cinderella Man. As Denzel Washington said in the movie Antoine Fisher, even when I’ve been beaten I became the champ again because “I beat everyone who’s beaten me!”
High Points:
I heard some really good news today that picked up my spirits. I would spill the beans but unfortunately I am not able to discuss it in detail on this blog for fear of ruining my blessing. Let’s just say that I have been given a tremendous opportunity and it’s all in good timing. More to come.
Low Points:
I failed to accurately demonstrate my affection for my wife. She has been extremely patient with me on so many things on so many levels and I not only owe it to her to show it but to verbally profess it each day and with each breath. I’m not a bad guy it’s just that oftentimes, like many men, we fail to realize the immense power our uplifting can be. For whatever reason, it means the world to hear from their Prince Charming that they are a Princess in our eyes and that they are the only one that can complete our lives. Not to worry, I will handle up. In fact, let me get off of this damn blog and show her some love!
Question
