Thank you, I appreciate it. I guess I learned early on as a kid that life is hard and that if I want some certainty, I have to create it. I didn't know at the time, but it was developing a habit of ownership and responsibility and, with those, came effort as that's required to make the first two happen. It's worked for the old G-dog.

Your last paragraph...yep, I get it and based on the little I know, I agree. But, you also did some stuff, got some shit done, a lot really, and that's all on you...it's your fault! You know? I mean you took ownership, responsibility and showed effort. You made things happen. You could have done a lot differently, but you didn't, and what you did do brought you to this time, place and space...so, fucken own it, lift more heavy shit and take some more steps.

Ok, maybe not very motivating, but that's how my head thinks in respect of myself, so that's what I say to others.
