I believe the hardest thing we do as humans is trying to relate with each other. There are thousands of books and even more essays and studies on human interactions. Why are we so lousy at them?

Selfishness. We all want what we want. It's that simple. Coming from the perspective of being married for 22 years. I want what I want and that's that. I wonder why I think I'm so much more important than the one I've pledge my love for. My wife's security is very dependent on what happens in our relationship. When Lisa and I are not on the same page or I'm in one of my withdrawn moods she feels abandoned. Like she's having to do everything by herself. Even if she's not but feels like she is, well she gets at best anxious. Worst case she gets angry. In retrospect I can't really blame her. I've been a horrible husband for the last couple of years and not a great father either. I'm working hard on our relationship and getting more involved with our daughters. Trying to be a better father and husband. I believe if I'm a better husband then the father part, actually the dad part will work itself out. I believe with all of my heart that I can and will have a better relationship with my wife. That my role as a husband and dad is to show my daughters what to expect from a husband. To nurture that relationship for all future generations...

Story

I have an idea for a story. Well several ideas. I get a little withdrawn from my wife when I'm working through the story in my head. I don't mean to, but I do. We've had some very serious relationship problems over the last few years and especially the end of last year. So when I pull back relationship wise it does bother Lisa. I understand why. I just have a story inside of me that has to be told. Now whether anybody wants to read it is a whole other tale.

Fave Ride

I don't really have a favorite car. I'm a huge gearhead!!! But, then my HDADD (high definition attention deficit disorder) and I get easily distracted by all the awesome choices both past, present, and future!!!! I do have a penchant for muscle cars and AMG Mercedes...

Right now I drive a 86 Honda CRX and a 2006 Mazda Mazdaspeed 6. Both very fun cars to drive...

What If????

I ask this question of all. What if??? The possibilities that lay before us. These words that open up our minds to all things that lay before us. Why I ask this question? So you would believe that we live in a country that allows us to not only ask this question but to answer it. What good is asking a question if it can never be answered. Rhetorical questions do not count.

I ask this as it relates to what do you want to do with your life. How would you like to live??  What if money was not an issue?? How would you live??  What in your life would change??

See we are not taught by really anyone how to succeed in life. Well most of us are not. Very few of us are mentored by somebody in how to attain true success. We fall into a paradigm of get an education and go get a good job and in 40 years you will retire in comfort. Doesn't work anymore but people still blindly follow that way of thinking.

What if money wasn't an issue?? How different would your way of life be?? How would you live?? Where would you live?? We are controlled by our jobs. By accepting the salary we get by trading hours of our life. We effectively are told by our boss where we are going to live, what we will drive, and basically what standard of living we are going to have.

Change yourself, the paradigm you are living and that will change your life!!! How you ask????
