Learning to let go.. Inspired by my Bestie Joe..

Learning to let go.. Inspired by my bestie Joe..
 Yes, indeed, we all have grown up since the high school days , a lot of us have done careers and starting new ones, We have seen our children grow and seen them at proms and weddings and such.. But most of all we are seeing the cycle of life.. I know I have seen so many things in life, good , bad , sad and a lot of the times.. I wonder why? Why is life so cruel? I mean Why cant we always be in high school dreaming about what futures we will have.. How come our kids that when they were so young and cute , and adorable,, soon have to grow up so fast.. Life is fast..,? Not really ,, not if you spend your time doing what you like to do,,. Me.. I don't waste time with people who are losers or depressing, I like to be around positive people.. Just like my blood type.. B positive.. Its is and always be one of my endearing qualities. I like people that ha ambition, goals and aspirations about life.. I like people who are not afraid to explore and try new things.. I love meeting people of all races , creeds and back grounds.. I get off on that.. My travels to Germany , Thailand, middle east . the PI.. were always jam packed with fun and adventures,, Why? Because I'm a thrill seeker , I want to see the world and all it has to offer..
  But back to my original thought, Letting go.. Yes.. we have to let go of the past.. sure its good to remember those things so we don't repeat those mistakes,, but when it comes to music and clothing styles,, Let it go.. I loved the old school music, but I also like the new school stuff and I like what the new generation thinks about.. Its a better generation , because of all the technology and opportunities for discovery,,, Back in the day , we were limited in our desires and knowledge seeking.. But not today,, today fast , fresh and invigorating. Their thirst of knowledge is just a tap away on your phone or lap top.. We are privileged to so much these days.. But I also know letting go of past bad experiences has been the hardest block on my head.. I tend or I used to dwell on what people did or didn't do to me.. I was so concerned about what people thought of me..?
 But you know what? I don't care anymore.. I mean it doesn't matter how hard you try to persuade people about things, People are going to form their own opinions and thoughts.. Not everyone , thanks sis,.. are going to like you,, so stop trying to get people to like you.. I know its been a tough trait to control.. Because ?? yes.. ego.. I have such a large over the top ego.. that I feel why not? I mean why wouldn't you like me?? I dance, sing, act , tell great stories and above all just a fun person to be with.. But a lot of us,.., or you feel being a fun loving , cheerful guy is not manly or very adult like, Well.. when it comes to work, I'm a stickler to details and I have a very strong work ethic..
 But off work.. I like to relax..and be a teenager like personality..and I know that throws people off,, ??
 My guess is is this guy Bipolar,, or is this guy.. a con artist , an actor,, or what? My take we are all actors n this stage we call life.. We have play roles,, Parent , student , enforcer, volunteer,, lover of life.. and we all have to assume the position so to speak.. But when duty calls or when I'm off work.. I like to be that teenager like guy that likes to make people happy and smile.. I feel there isn't enough happy people in this world.. Too many people get caught up with the Real world , of bills, deadlines , stress, life , etc.. But you know,, what? Nothing in life is permanent.. Nothings stays the same. We are always changing..I mean thew 17 yr is different than the 43 yr old guy right.. I may look the same as weight is concerned and have a few more gray hairs.. But we all evolve and become true human beings.,, Letting go is the biggest step I have taken in regards to becoming the new me.. I'm letting go of grudges and hatred for those who have mistreated me , and I'm, letting go of all the hangups and issues about what I don't like about life.. I don't like traffic , but guess what? I have to deal with.. By listening to Sirius radio sports show.. I don't like long lines , so I talk to people in line.. I don't like cleaning house, so I crank up the music,,, and make it fun.. For me,.. Letting go of all my issues and concerns about things I cant control or things that have bothered me in the past.. Is the greatest gift I have learned during my transition to civilian life.. My besties Joe and Melanie have been my true conspirators and advisors.. I know they don't want any recognition for things I have done or changed my attitude.. But I want to thank them both.. Without them , I would be this over the top loud mouth and annoying guy looking for attention.. Well.. I'm still that attention slut , so to speak.. But , I'm calming down a bit, That's where letting go of all my demons . the ego, the hatred, the hang ups,, its a work in process , but I feel so liberated and happy to be me.. I love my life now.. I'm able to spend time with the true family and friends and be me.. Which is a fun loving person that likes to make people smile with either dancing , acting or telling my many stories.. I don't like people that are arrogant and rude.. and I don't like people that cant let things be.. Not everyone is gonna agree with you.. we have to learn to accept one another and learn form each other.. I'm always learning from people young and old.. I love my life.. I love my Wife , My kids and my Best friends.. they are so special to me.. Because I have finally let go of all the demons that have tried to hold me down.. I no longer harbor ill feelings to those that have done ill to me.. Why? Because life is too short to deal with that.. LIKE MY REAL LIFE MOTTO" BE TRUE TO THOSE THAT ARE TRUE TO YOU!! I really believe in that so much..
 Learning to let go.. it has been a refreshing and uplifting change to my personality. I have better things to do,,, like coach my kids football, and spend time with my true family and friends.. I know that we cant dwell on the past or worry about the future.... Be here now.. Deal with today. Because the past is gone forever and the future may never come!! live for today.. and enjoy the moments. Too many of us,, are never here,, if you are with someone ,, be with them.. not preoccupied with other thoughts... To me ,. that's so rude to be caught up on other things when you have a chance to sha
re time with people.. Be here , and be here now.. those are great words to live by and also.. Learn to let things go!! You will be happier for it!!
