It’s long winded.. if you don’t feel like reading it don’t. Was inspired to share it though.
Mastery is not where we or myself are at currently at yet... Read a book a while ago one of many (alot of them to a degree say a bunch of the same things) But, this one taught I should ask God every single morning in my disciplined morning meditation to help start to my day with certain intentions. To help align my will with what I think God would have me be. To make me a better husband, better father, better friend, better son, better brother, better leader, better provider in the various industries I am in, to give me guidance and wisdom. To ask to be shown when to be hard, when to be soft, when to give, when to know when we are being taken advantage of. To never hold on to a victim mentality. I/WE fall short so often. I Find myself having to correct things on a weekly basis. Then I Get to get back on the beam and try again. Been thinking lately how boring life would actually be to achieve perfection. Finical/spiritual freedom look lot different then perfection at least to me. I need things to strive for. New goals to hit. New thresholds to step over. My Facebook feed pops up what we as a team were doing and working on 6-7 years ago. Can’t help be proud of the progress and the journey. People we have helped. I don’t ever try and use anyones misery to make myself feel better. But I pulled into dicks sporting goods last Friday to get a nice new white pair of air max 90’s for a vacation I was taking my wife on this week. (YOU KNOW I GOTTA ROCK THE FRESHIES IN MEXCIO)…..I Pulled up and found a man my age over dosed in the parking lot laying on the ground convulsing. I Called the cops. Narcan. The whole 9. Brought him back. Didn’t think too deep into until I was driving away. Just thought to myself how different my life path could have actually went. I am not stupid I know what we do as far as real estate, investments and doing our construction thing in the end really won’t mean to much in the grand scheme of things. BUT, people remember feelings. People remember when others were good to them. When others were fair to them especially when they didn’t have to be. The humanism of providing value and being helpful. One of my mentors who I look up to, old man. Who I like to call and complain to sometimes - first he yells at me and tells me I am not doing enough for others most of the time. Then he tells me often… Mike do you know how many people would kill to have your life and your problems? Silly thing but I always hear that part. bringing it all back and looking over these pictures and projects the last couple months its amazing to me. What doing the right thing and some bulldog perseverance can do in someone’s life. The Law of attraction. I pray everyday to try and be better than I was the day before. We’ll see what happens. Now check out these bathrooms which I think could be on the cover of magazines. LMR services
