"Embrace the two most powerful warriors of life - Love and
Opportunity. I'm trying to prove in my own way that they will
take you places that you never thought possible." - JNA
Hi,
I don't intend on these Ordinary Files to be intimate. Just ordinary!
I intend For these to cover interesting thoughts, lessons, ideas,
stories that occur in my life on a day-to-day for the dual purpose
of documentation & hopefully bringing value to the individual reading.
2 things stand out as thoughts I would like to burn onto the block:
- Love
- Opportunity
Love:
Yesterday, browsing through ordinals.com (its quite the entertainment)
I came across an inscription that literally was a .txt file containing
1 sentence. The sentence was written to this individuals children,
Expressing how much they love them. I was touched and inspired by the
Note, and thought I'd leave my 2 children (grand children, great grandchildren, etc) a short little love note.
Note: I was't perfect. I made mistakes. I judged myself HARD for those
Mistakes. Then... I learned from them. This is what I learned -
Its human! As long as you are willing to continuously find lessons, growth, and the love and peace within yourself, Thats whats most
Important. At least thats my hope for you. Live life YOUR way.
Happiness is a delusion if you think you can find it outside of you.
J.L.N.M.A & J.E.A.M.A if you happen to stumble across this, know that
You completely changed your mom and my life for the better. I've
Always been a pretty ambitious person, but my ambition and desire
To find my journey (and become it), for the hope that it is an
example, Blueprint for you to find and become yours, is SO MUCH
greater today.
Thank you for blessing us with a fresh new lens on life's glasses.
I love you! JNA
Opportunity:
This is going to be a wild contrast to what you read above, but like
I said, these are just thoughts I wanted to share. Today, I came
Across an opportunity to take a risk. Ironically, as I've matured,
These moments just so happen to be visiting me more often. Why is
That, I wonder? All I can tell you is that, I don't know where we
Go after we leave earth (this message lives on lol) but I do know
That we, in this form, are only here once. No regrets. The risks
That appear on my table today, are tied to my mission of putting
Myself in a way better position to take care of my entire family
For generations to come. When it happens, AMAZING! The risk is, if it
doesn't, will I regret going for it? You know the answer to that after
Reading the words above.
Let me drop two quotes for you:
a. Opportunity is when luck, preparation, (and courage) meet.
b. We have 2 lives. The 2nd begins the moment we realize we that
We only have 1 - Confucius
