If its gonna be, its up to me...

I learned a very important lesson this morning while talking to my Dad. He told me, "Son, in this world, the only person you can depend on is yourself. No matter how much you want to help others, and make their dreams come true, you have to make sure you take care of yourself first." And as I ponder on the conversation I had with my Dad, I realized that it is true. I've always felt the need to help others, and sometimes people take my kindness for my weakness... Happens in business too, as I work on moving the team to help us all achieve our goals and dreams, mediocrity sets in and entitlement kills the dream. So while I'm sitting on the beach looking out into the blue ocean, don't hate me for living the life I work so hard for to live and enjoy. May the blessings be.
