Fall On Me .........

As I get closer to my 44th birthday, I see that the time for me to make my mark is at this moment in time. How do I go about this? Well, I need to see what am I doing now. I have a good job. I am now starting to get a grasp of all the nuances of my job. Empower people and to take ownership of their position, or the task that they are currently working on. Listening to what employees, and congregants are really asking and helping them.

I continue to work on myself and seeing how I would fail in the past I am so shocked. It is like a switch went on, and I can't believe that just little changes in what I said or did would have to make a major difference in me and my relationships at work, with my family, and with my friends. Giving them the time that they needed, or just listening would have made these relationships stronger. Instead of rebuilding everything in my life, I would only have to do maintenance.

I have also realized that I have always taken the difficult path. I wish it was because I wanted to build character, but it was because I was too stubborn to change. I was so closed off to change that I would argue with a person who was trying to help me. Yes friends trying to show me a way that was easier, or a better way then I was doing I would argue instead of saying thanks and doing it the other way.

Times wasted, friends lost and all of this because I was stubborn. Well, that was then, and this is now. I take the time to thank the person trying to help me. I give the time my friends and family need. I feel good about me as a person, and it really shows with my work and with my friends. I still have much work to do, but everyday I see the improvement. Some days it might be a little and other it might be a lot, either way I am happy that I am no longer the person that I was. 

Keep Rambling .....
