My friend Andrew has been through many ups and downs in his
life and since we are so close we have seen each other in the best of times and
no doubt the worst of them as well. We
have journeyed through Maine, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts and thus we both
settled on the more relaxed west coast.
He moved here years before I did and when I told him I was ready to pack
my bags and head that way as well he was beyond excited. Now, I heard a mix of reactions when I
decided to make this huge life change.
From: “Are you really going to go through with it?” to “How can you make
such a large change without a job?” But this is not what I heard from the
positive people in my life. Andrew made
it part of his regiment to leave encouraging words on my Facebook, through
emails, via texts and phone calls. He
knew this was a transitional, rocky time and even when I had too much pride to
say I needed some motivation, he knew and he was ever present.
Oh, technology…although it can get many of us into deep,
deep trouble it really depends on how we are utilizing it. Sometimes a simple text that takes all but 30
seconds to compose is all a person needs to change their mind, make the right
move and know someone cares. It used to
be a detailed phone call or even a card that needed to be sent, but sorry
Hallmark, this works much better for our generation.
You will not see many names mentioned, although I will be
readily bringing up friends and family members.
I mentioned Andrew because he took his skills to the next level and I
look up to and congratulate anyone who does this. He now is creating a series of YouTube videos
to inspire the masses because he has always been fantastic at doing it on an
individual basis. I always said he
should be a motivational speaker, I was just unsure of what his great mind
would utilize to do it.
Follow your dream;
find the right people to lead you there and well forget the rest and leave them
be.
