I believe that we all have the greatest opportunities, but some just lack the right action; heck, some lack any action. I’m not here to motivate you; dang dude, motivate yourself!

Although, I am here to call you out when you’re lazy. As you can tell, I am sure I’m not an English scholar with perfect grammar, punctuation, and all, but I will tell it how I see it. I trust that you’ll be able to understand the gist of what I’m saying.

I realize that it can be hard if you’re a parent, we always want to use kid gloves on your children, and heck, I even screwed up when our son was thinking about which military service to join. He mentioned the US Marines, and I told him no, and that I didn’t think that it’d be for him. Even though I meant well, I realize now that me saying that to him was wrong. I should never limit him or our other kids, but I did. I did it in the attempt to protect him from possibly not doing as well as he’d hope and being disappointed.
