Never too Late...

I have been considering a major life change for the past year, after I realized I was not where I wanted to be & that it is never too late to re-create yourself. So, I have been researching & planning the new direction for my life. Soon, I will share that direction with the rest of the world. I feel called to do more to, as Mahatma Gandhi put it, "be the change you want to see in the world." Since I was a very little boy, I felt bigger than I was, richer than I was & like I was going to do great things in this life. Growing up poor, I really had no reason to believe that I would be something great & never have to worry about food or money like my mother had to do for us.

One thing that my mother never taught me is to think that I was any less worthy than the other kids that had things that we couldn't afford. So, I have never stopped dreaming & having this feeling that I was so much more than this body or mind that I share. In the next year, I will start a Children's Charity that will focus on helping kids with development needs whether they are physical, social, or mental. The name of the charity is HKS (Hugs, Kisses, & Smiles) & will focus on children that are caught in the rift between poor & middle class that have needs, but get looked over by many helping organizations. We will pair with many children focused organizations to raise funds & ensure that this organization lives on past my years with the help of dedicated volunteers & leadership.

I have had this idea for many years, but always thought that I would start this organization when I got older & was a seasoned business professional. Then I woke up & had a meeting with reality & it showed me how I am living without guarantees & that I should just get started with the things on my bucket list, so that when I am done here I don't look up at the faces of my friends & family & say those words that are the foundation of why people are scared of death, "I wish I would've." I choose instead to live my life now & say when my time comes, "I lived a GREAT life!" One thing is guaranteed, death will come but until it is here I will be living to live & not waiting to die. Is there something you have been waiting to do that you could at least begin today? If so, for yourself, just do it! Thinking, "not that easy?" I don't know anyone that was given a guarantee when they were born that life would be easy, so do it for yourself. Peace, Love, & Happiness friends!!! :^)

Bless You!
