Blink of an Eye
Here we are in March 2019. I find myself at a crossroads once again in my life. I was scrolling FB last night, only to find out another friend's spouse suddenly passed away at 52 years of age. It rattled me. They were waiting for retirement until they moved back to the coast. Retirement was going to be later this year. In the blink of an eye, my friend's life has been turned upside down, and at such a young age.

Positive Thoughts for a Rainy Day
The alarm goes off, you rise from the bed, and place your feet on the cold floor. When you open the blinds and look outside the window, it just happens to be raining in sheets, and all you want to do is see the sunshine. Do you know what that kind of attitude is called? In my world it is called a negative environmental distraction.

Through Any Darkness
I know, I know you feel lost in the woods and trapped. You may be feeling as if you’re alone and like there is not a soul out there that can understand you. You may be feeling as if you deserve all that you have had to deal with and have gone through. You feel as though everyone will judge you if you speak up and fingers will be pointed at you for “putting yourself in that situation.” You may feel as though your life has no purpose and you’re on “idle.” Whatever your situation was or is I am here to tell you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

We Are Good Enough
For some odd reason, I have grown into an adult that applies way too much pressure to my life. I put too much pressure on myself to have a direction, to have a career, to be successful and self-sustaining, etc. I have never felt like I was good enough for this world. I suppose I feel this way because I’ve always wanted to be the best for my father. Let’s not confuse the fact that he is an amazing man, a wonderful father, and one of the people in my life that knows me best. However, he happens to be from an era of time where it was required of you to be successful. It was required of you to know what you were doing by the time you were 25, had a career that would last your entire life, and be able to support yourself.

Quitting at the Last Hurdle Is Okay
Before delving right in and explaining the reasoning behind such a title, I would just like to briefly disclaim that this article is not designed to de-motivate or demoralise anyone. Pushing ourselves to reach our full potential is a vital element of self-exploration and achieving the best results possible out of life. That being said, it is also imperative that we learn to recognise our limits and have the strength to walk away from situations that could be potentially damaging to our characters and the quality of our lives. In life, we have a habit of getting ourselves caught up in long term situations that—to put it bluntly—make us down right miserable. Such situations, a lot of the time, have a goal or a target in sight, which we feel is necessary to obtain in order to gain satisfaction from the task at hand. Whether educational, occupational or recreational, these goals are often deemed worth the turmoil one must endure in order to obtain them.

Final Is Not Final
In 2013, I was faced with a bit of a personal dilemma. I had just started training for my first full-time job when it was announced that Maximilian of Yo video games would be the MC for the Xbox One Launch and subsequent Killer Instinct tournament in Seattle. Was I to tend to my training and pursue a career or take a risk and chase my passion? I ended up making the rational choice: Staying rather than miss training. I grew to hate it and ended up being asked to leave, but the training was invaluable.
