A New Mind

It was at 25 that I was awaken from my youthful slumber. The one who opened my eyes said to me,"When I was child I spoke as child, but when I became a man I put away childish things." So I began the process of shedding a youthful mind while maintaining a playful and creative spirit. Now here I am at 28. Upon reflection, wow it has been a journey. What I have learned in sum is life is made of the stuff called time and those who use it wisely have the most fulfilled lives.

I envision this. This thing called a full life. But what does that mean to me: To honor God with my life. To maintain my health. To love and honor my wife. To have my children look at me and say, "You are a great father". To be a loyal friend. To live my God given purpose. To make a positive impact in this life.

I want to leave a legacy of love and character and hope. I want to be an inspiration to this world, to my family. I want to pull out of every human being the power they possess to create and build and love. I want to uplift. I want to transcend.

My life philosophy: I will dream as if I will live forever. I will love as if I will die today. I believe deeply that people are more important than things.
