Your Influence

Are you a person who inspires and radiates positive energy?

Honestly, I'm not sure if I even have been a positive source for the past two years.  It's quite burdening in fact and I believe slowly, but surely, I am reinvigorating my entire being and overall outlook.  I truly believe that experiencing a certain dosage of negativity will force you (in this situation of course I am directly speaking to myself) into a need for change. The environment cannot wholly be put to blame.  There are of course different factors, variables, and whatever that may be that has a chance to stir the "pot" of influence, if you will.  Despite the sources of influences, no one should allow those "influences" to be empowered. Once they are empowered then these influences can often determine and steer you in the wrong path.   I am empowering myself to make decisions that matter and not allow influences to dictate my life plan.  

Who owns the key to success? If I knew that there was one, singular, sole being that held that 24k gold key to SUCCESS, I would hunt them down and just ask to borrow it for a mere five minutes (3 minutes to caress the key and the other 2 minutes to open up that crusty door TO success). Of course, there isn't one person who owns that key, there isn't a pot of gold at the other end of the rainbow, and I don't think there is a fountain of youth (maybe there is).  I really do believe to a certain extent each person has a potential to be someone great.  The question is: do we maximize our potential to achieve that greatness? 

I wish I could dedicate more time to this life plan, thinking, and writing.  Working two jobs definitely starts to drain you and make you cherish every second of sleep.  So hopefully, I will revisit this topic one day and perhaps take a more guided approach to what I am really getting at.  Long story short, I'm ready for a change, I'm encouraging myself to think positively and try to be a better personal overall.  I just hope that these changes can be impressionable and have much better results than the ones that I am producing now.  So here's to change, better moments, and a more positive outlook on every aspect of life.  

This is me senior year in college. We took a trip to see Big Norm (may he rest in peace), the largest piggy (of course not the small piggy I am petting).  Anyways, this was a fantastic RANDOM day I spent with some awesome friends.  It was a chilly day, but we had so much fun driving along some random back roads of Hamilton NY just to find a random shack with a really large pig.  We failed to leave a "tip" in the tip box, sorry Norm, none of us carried cash, anyways...where were your owners?!

I know this is a random photo included, but I found it rather applicable.  I really enjoyed this small moment in time that I will forever share with my friends.  I am promising myself to commit to so many more random memories with friends and family.  The only thing is I must MAKE time to do these things...that I shall do :)

Yours truly.....bitty bitty bitty bot.
