 "You Can Have Whatever You Like"

It is no longer acceptable to say we can’t.  It is no longer acceptable to live a life that is not fit.  Everyone is affected by the economy the same, some just embrace it and find a way (legally).  As a man I know now I can look at my kids in the future and say that you can be anything you want to be, but not because it’s easy.  It will be a long hard road, but through perseverance and hard work anything is possible.  I really believe that change is on the way, and I am very proud to be an American.  In Life we all face tough decisions, and some make better ones then others, and some get more then one opportunity to get it right.  People have prevailed from many circumstances from the worst possible to the best possible.  To my younger siblings I want you to know that life can be a great thing, but you must first accept where you are in life.  Then you will be more understanding on how to get to where you want to be.  Sometimes it is hard to accept where you are because you don’t want to be there, or you are ashamed of where your at.  I know I haven’t always enjoyed where I was in life.  Just know when you make a decision it must be something that is going to propel you through to the next stage.  Sometimes that stage will be a step back, but you don’t have to quickly make another decision.  Gather yourself, reload, prepare, and figure out why the last decision didn’t work so well.  I truly believe that everyone takes a step back at some point in their life, but they don’t make two or three in a row because they take time to see what is right and wrong.  I want you all to be successful in everything you do, and I hope that I am a influence that allows you a greater desire inside to strive and dream.  I hope that I have met someone along the way that can help make your journey easier.  I hope you understand that I Love You and Wish you the best of Luck in all you do. Thank You for letting me be apart of your life.
