I'm a pretty practical person. I keep things simple not because simple is "safe" but because it's the simple things that make me happy.
I don't want to be famous, I don't plan on becoming a millionaire.. I simply want a love, family, and a happy home. I believe things aren't accomplished by hand outs and strokes of good luck... but by only working your butt off to get what you want, regardless of what situation you've lived your life in so far. Life will never owe you anything because as long as you have a pulse, life has already given you plenty to work with, and when you get knocked down, the best thing to do is just get back up... not sit and complain about what you never had or how someone else held you back. Nor sit and make excuses of how things aren't possible simply because they aren't easy. All things are possible, if you want it bad enough.
I really hope that one day my child (and any other future children) will have a deep understanding of this, and the best way of teaching is by example.
I'm going to try really hard to work to obtain my goals, and I'm not going to let the military, location, or life in general get in the way. With God all things are possible.. so why doubt myself?
Excellent post!
