Day 58 it is already eight at night and I'm just getting started on my blog, stayed up till two thirty chatting with a woman in new jersey, I very much enjoy talking to her but I'm going to have to stay disciplined, I woke up at six thirty and had to run out the door to pick up my new helper, on time. I refuse to be late because if I'm late, what does that say to the people I expect to be on time, I will be going to bed early so this doesn't happen anymore. I really enjoy being to work ten minutes early as to set an example for the people I am working with, it seems if you run, someone will try to run faster, it is nice to be part of a positive competition, it seems as I try to live right people around me try to do the same. I must say I really enjoy being part of someone trying to make their lives better.
Jack, I think you misunderstood me yesterday, I am very far from having a big head, and I will remain humble so I can take in all the knowledge that surrounds me every day, but I will not settle for average, or normal, I will continue to strive to be the very best that I can, if someone expects one thing out of me I will do my very best to give him two, I will always try to work and live my live by a higher standard in hopes that others will see this and try to do the same. I will never see myself as better, or above anyone as I have felt below or worse than everyone for the majority of my life. in this new life that I am living I will continue to walk right beside everyone who is a part of my life, so maybe greatness wasn't the right word, how about great.
Well I am very tired and still have messages to answer, I look forward to going to bed early so I can get up and write at five, good night all, James

hey james-take care-cynthia
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you have developed the self esteem to be the best you can be, do the best you can and set a great example for those around you. It is admirable and not always easy. But doing what is right is always better than just taking the easy way out. doing the best you can with your life, knowing in your heart you are doing your best gives you pride in being a good person. It makes others look up to you and seek you out for advice. Jimmy, that's part of being a good friend too, always trying your best...that's all anyone can ask for. I am proud of the man you are today and am grateful for the man you were last year. If you had not gone through all of the shit you have gone through, you may not have realized what a strong, smart, amazing man you really are! I Love you!! Karin
ReplyDeleteKarin said it all! And I agree! You have come a long way, and are a great role model for others to follow! I think Cynthia is turning her life around now, and I believe you have been a great friend and role model for her! God Bless you, Jim.....you're a great guy! Nancy
ReplyDeletedoes anybody think james is losing his way maybe
ReplyDeleteStriving for excellence is always good, Jim. I was just expressing caution, as your last blog entry did sound a bit near the top, if not over the top in terms of greatness. Remember how Jesus' disciples were always arguing about who was the greatest?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm glad to hear you testify. I too strive to give more than is asked of me by my employer. That's because, as I said in an earlier post, I work for God, not just for a man or an earthly institution. Sounds like you're the kind of person I would enjoy working for and with.
Blessings,
Jack
Fantastic Jimmy. This is the most all of us can do: striving to be the best we can be and through that we do imspire ourselves to continually improve and inspire those around us.
ReplyDeleteLove you Man. ~d
Anonymous, not sure what you are alluding to that James might be losing his way. Personally I think he is finding his way but no one here, I am sure, would mind if you elaborated.
