I Dont want to be good , I want to be great ! Inspired by my Mentors.

I don't want to be good , I want to be great! Inspired by my mentors..
 I don't want to be average , I want to be a cut above.. Whats does that mean? Its simple I want to be the cut above the rest. I want to be a stand out , not left out. I want to be noticed , and not ignored. I want to be the example of greatness. This has been my motto my vibe, my theory on life.. Despite the dirt bags , the LAZY , people WHO ARE satisfied to just do enough not to get fired. These same people wonder why they don't get awards , or promotions or find and keep great career employments. God helps those that help themselves,. by honoring his life,, by living your life the way it should be.. By honoring humility , patience and looking out for others.. Its easy to judge , or make statements against one another.. because we all do,, in essence its easier to criticize than correct. That's where successful people separate themselves from the crowd.. Successful people, go the extra mile,, they show up early at work, and leave late... and while their working do their best , look their best and always being their best.. That's what we all should strive for,, not looking for handouts, or free bees or making short cuts to get things done.. Real people with honor , courage and commitment to life,, look to help people.. Not expecting anything in return, than a smile, thank you ,, or just the FACT you helped someone.. But some people like to prejudge others including myself,at times.. that think why are they posting non sense or successful accomplishments,.. well My take is simple,, success breeds success and good will encounters good will ,I really believe that good things , or should I say great things happen to people that take life seriously . that care about image and perception.. I know many times during my Navy Career I disagreed with alot of lawful orders,, because the leader was a dirt bag , or a ego maniac.. But because I respected their positions.. I did what I was told to do. and I did it well.. I was asked to change jobs, taskings and assignment's on numerous occasion's which, cost me potential promotion opportunities. But enable me chances to learn different skills,.. that now,, after 20 years of service have come into play.. My training in Postal operations , law enforcement , Haz Mat,, Forklift instructing.. were just great training that enabled me to be the person that I am today.. I know some of you may think What a arrogant , confident self centered person.. But you know what. I believe by being the best at what I did and not ashamed to tell people that.. I know God has blessed me with the wisdom and confidence to fear no man or woman.. or event on this earth.. He has granted me the ability to challenge all situations and be successful. The hardships , the disappointments and hard life I lived made me respect and honor the great things I have achieved in life.. My wife was a struggle to even gain a date,. But once I did I took advantage of that opportunity and for the last  years , she has been the love of my life,., My stress at times,, but the tough minded ,, focused mind to keep me on track.. I have dated and loved the high maintenance girls. the barbie dolls, the air heads. the beach hot bodies.. the gold diggers,, the etc. and though fun.. I realize those were just play things,, they were just images of what I thought was the dream girls of my life.. Not to say I'm not going to be tested for the rest of my life.. Because I 'm a successful and hard working person that some admire and and others hate.. Because as one person said to me at one time" Relax dude , your making all of us look bad.. " My take.. is I'm being me . who strives to be the best and strives to honor my parents teachings and mentors.. My life has always been challenging and tough ,, Whether by design or chance.. I always love being the one. the stand out , or show off ,, or the cast off.. Some of  times I have been placed  in no win losing positions , and Yes I have failed many times. But the fact I would accept the roles and try my best.. I know I learned lessons in life that have helped me get where I 'm supposed to be.. Which is,, a loving family man,, with a desire for higher education and training.. and respect from people and peers.. I don't demand respect , I earn it ,, by being on time to work, by looking good , speaking well,, and treating people with honor and respect.. no one is above the law.. and above anyone else.. I respect all facets of society.. gardener, plumber, lawyer , judge.. teacher , etc.. We are pieces to the puzzle in life. and we all have to desire to be great . and not let stagnant feelins rule your life...., I'm satisfied personalities be my norm.. I love challenges and issues in life,, The more the merrier.. My take,, is why me? Its more like try me.. challenge me. because after each successful resolution I feel rejuvenated and honored by God.. That I'm living my life with his spirit of excellence.. My ego , my persona is always looking to shine and be that shining light.. I have energy because I create positive vibes with anyone that wants it.. I enjoy happy , striving , hard working people and wonder and don't understand others that don't want to improve or content with just getting by.. Its not me or will ever be me. I dare to be great and welcome all challenges,, because its the best way to honor the spirit of excellence and giving . that we all should tackle and embrace.. I don't apologize for my ego , or my energy levels,, Its all because the man above. My skills in martial arts or dancing , singing , ACTING, PUBLIC SPEAKING... writing are all because of him.. I take no credit for all my creative endeavors.. He is the one that inspires me , motivates me and creates the energy that my past employers have admired , endorsed and cherish.. I take the time to be the best , and take care of what i have... Family , wife, kids.. home.. cars.. myself.. Its not easy to do the right thing.. But true spirits of excellence do it,, because its the right thing to do,, and karma is strong.. I truly believed what goes around comes around. A great marriage just doesn't happen.. Its takes patience, desire to communicate and a moral obligation to work out any issues,. No marriage, love affair ,, etc is perfect.. But a true couple recognizes that and accepts the faults we all have.. and honor marriage by working things out and taking care of what you have.. Nothing great in ,life just happens to stays happy.. A great marriage is a work in progress a , daily ritual and a true test of people true character.. I know I have made many mistakes and errors in judgments regarding family , friends.. best friends and I  have paid dearly with arguments , hardships,, cold shoulders , etc, But that is what life is all about.. trials and  tribulations,, and its how we react to respond after the incidents , that makes us,,, who we are.. I don't want to be good , I want to be great and I want to share that image, the vibe, that spirit with those that feel the same way.. I honor man hood , by protecting woman hood. A true man, doesn't name call or belittle woman because of they way they dress or speak or carry themselves.. A man helps those that ask and protect those that need it.. A boy or man child,, takes advantage of wounded women and harasses women for their own enjoyment.. Man up.. is what a term I heard throughout my Navy Career.. Its simple.. be the man,. be the warrior spirit and be the man that stands above adversity and takes responsibility for their actions .. Because you cant be great if your not good in the first place.. Its a process a trail , a journey in life we all have to live and encounter until the end of time,. I don't want to be good,, I want to be great.. I live it , I breathe it and I do it..
