Timeless

Giving the moments in time, where the only thing I want is more time, becomes the chase of my days. Time is everything I desire, it's everything we all desire. The ironic and masked feeling of such a task becomes apparent as time moves by. The more time that passes, the more feelings we incur of it running out. Well I say run out, but inevitably "death" is what we consider the end of time, at least the share that we have physically on earth. But let's not get too technical, or religious, as that's not what I'm here to discuss. 

It is possible to lose time, it's definitely possible to waste it, although I don't believe we waste as much as we think or say. Truly, the only time I consider wasted, is the time we don't spend with love in our hearts. Most time is spent worrying about things that have no eventual value for our humanity, or the people around us, for example, money, materials, worrying about the past, the future, and most importantly the things we can't control.  But what is most ironic about that, well if you don't already know by now, you can't control time. Time is something we made up, I mean the original people on earth, who ever you believe that to be, I'll let science talk for that one, had no care for time, at least until they figured out, that they were dying, and that they should probably manage their time better, to figure out things to advance civilization more adequately for the next in line.

So with that being said, I often find myself thinking what is the best way to spend my time. Often I source my time, to acoustics, writings, reading, visuals, on spare time at least, on a more busier note, work for money when available, family & friends. But who cares right? Using your senses for time, doesn't everyone do that, yes indeed they do, but do they use them in a way that is self gratifying, maybe not so much. 

No matter how you spend your time, there is only one way, that the time you spend here on this tiny earth, actually means something. At least I've figured out this very logic through my life, and the people in it.  That the only way, to actually appreciate time, is by love, loving it, loving all of it.

Imagine spending time doing things you don't love to do, that should be easy right? Yes, because unfortunately we don't live in a "pleasantville" type of environment all the time, (if you haven't seen that film, you should check it out)... Life forces us to do things that are unfamiliar to the heart, things we don't always desire or care to do, but must do to conform, build, and create a better life, sometimes that time is even spent doing things we think are good, but are bad, or vice versa.

With that being said, the time we do have is our responsibility to decipher, make, fill-in, create, and most importantly enjoy. At times it may seem impossible, but at the end, you can't say you didn't have all the time in the world, because quite frankly you had the same opportunity of the chance of time as every single thing on this planet. So really there is no excuse to not enjoy the time we have.

Time cannot be enjoyed without love, yes I have a theme of love in most of my writings, but there is no greater characteristic on this earth, that makes everything and creates anything, even time itself. 

In order to truly grasp the sense of time that we have, one must appreciate the love they have in spending it doing whatever it is that they believe is worthy of the seconds that build the minutes, the hours, days, years, life it self.  All this life is worth is the time we have, so the next time you are sitting complaining about something being a waste of time, ask yourself, am I really wasting time, or am I not appreciating the love that the time has built for you to realize you have time to do whatever it is, even if at times it seems wasteful.  Remember that when something seems to be a waste of time, it is usually because you have not looked at how the time is being spent, most importantly you haven't loved the way you can.  As I'm sure you wouldn't consider love being a waste of time, what else would have given you the time, to love in such a timeless fashion.

The Embraced Path

Let me start by saying that I, am forever grateful for all my experiences in life.  My time here has been nothing short of that. I have learned so much, and have gone through things that have taught me so much about me, my life, and the people that surround me.  I must say that although many things seemed to not work out over the past few months, a lot of things did, and I made it happen.  To be honest, I took one of the biggest risks of my life, to come try a new career, and see what it had to offer.  Little did I know how much I would take away from the experience and also what my destiny here would be.

I moved away on my own once again, to give it a shot, and a chance of a lifetime.  I started selling cars, doing bail bonds, meeting new people, and was surrounded by people that truly cared for me.  Although at times, we had our downs, I have gained a new family here, and for that I must say, the experience was a memorable one for sure.  It is something I will forever cherish for being a path that gave me so much, and a new outlook on life all at the same time.

I wanted to write this to shine light on risks you must take to figure out your journey.  At the start of every path I have taken, I have had a clear choice on what to do, and although the consequences are not clear, the choices are.  Life is funny, because we are taught in order to be mature you must understand consequences, but most of the time, consequences are only seen when you live them out.  I have been through so much here, from learning new ways to live, to arresting people and putting them in jail, to wearing bulletproof vests, selling cars, taking repossessed vehicles, I've done it all.  Yes, Mike did all that!!! A lot of people asked me if I enjoyed it, why I was doing such work, all I could tell them was one thing, It was something that caught my attention at a time where many were failing.  Opportunity is everything in life, and I felt very comfortable taking the risk at the time.  Although the risk wouldn't be possible without thanking my friends here, (they know who they are), I took it on my own, I put myself out here, I trained, and took initiative to do what I could to improve the business around me on all aspects.

I believe I did my best here, I know I did all I could, and dedicated as much time as I could when it was needed.  I embraced the people around me, as they did the same, and I treated everyone with respect, and love. This gave me a purpose, and something to work for, a dream, a lesson, a way of life that gave me much more than I first expected when I opened the door.

All this gave me the opportunity to focus on myself and my self growth over the 8 months here, where I figured out that I was ready for more.  Somewhere in life where I have always excelled at, is knowing when I have done all with a certain path.  I have figured out that many don't seem to understand how I do it.  But I am here to explain that, when I feel I have exhausted all my options at being successful at what I am doing, or a certain place in life where I can no longer grow, I am ready for whats next.  I can't say that I know whats next, I rarely ever do, I just take my paths carefully; so I am sure I will make the right choice whenever it shows its face.

As a friend once told me, "You are someone that adapts so quickly, and is willing to learn and take all you learn, to make things better for everyone around you, people will always see that".  I think on what my friend told me and think of all the times I sit and think about making that happen.  But its important to remember that when I know its time, I will make that happen for myself.  So with all being said, I am closing this chapter to say this, It is time to adapt, take what I've learned here, and make MYSELF better, so that during my next path; I can do the same for everyone around me, and most importantly smile while I'm doing it.

Life stops for no one.

Thank you for everything,

Richie, Russ, Oscar, PJ, Jamie, Heather, Eddie.

Most of all,

Thank you to all that have continued being by my side.
