One thing that I have come to realize is that the road to a better life is a long one. Also, talk is cheap. The real test is our endurance on that long road. That is why I have always kind of laughed at flimsy new years resolutions, most of which are not fulfilled nor completed. I have found that the resolutions we make that truly benefit us are the ones that we are the most likely to fulfill. These are the ones that require the most work and the most time. If you are on the road to a better life as I am, stay on track. Don't let the little distractions of life keep you from achieving that ultimate goal. Problems will arise. People will get in the way. Just do you and look out for your personal well-being first. The rest will follow.
I will always be of the opinion that those who truly care about us will always be in our lives no matter how many times we mess up or offend them. I'm sure we can all think of those people in our lives. Whether they be family or friends, they are there. However, are we that type of person for others? Do others count on you to always be there? If so, are you? Something to think about.
This week on twitter I asked who wanted a shout out in this blog post and five people answered my call. The first of these is a good friend that I met through my job, Lance Salazar. Lance is a genuinely nice, thoughtful person who always puts others above himself. He is a hard worker and is just a great reliable friend. Another of these people is also another valued friend I met through my job. It is none other than the one and only Braden Chinn. This kid is the sickest. Braden is hilarious and also a very nice person who happens to share my dislike for stupid people. His only downfall is baseball... hahaha jk. I know he'll be mad at me for that. Third on the list of people is Rachel Nance. I met Rachel through a mutual friend that I've known for quite some time. Rachel is a girl that knows how to have a good time! There is never a dull or awkward moment with her. That's the truth! Always been able to put a smile on my face. Fourth, Joseph Ataata (aka FreshPrinceofUT, Toko Joe, Uncle Toko, Codfish Joe, The boss, Duck-Shirt Dynasty, and poopface McGoo). He just might be the loudest people I've ever met, but I wouldn't unmeet him for anything. He really has turned out to be one of my best friends. To others he may come of as blunt, but what they do not know is that he has a soft side that is kind and considerate. I look to him for advice. And if you need a good laugh, look no further. Get to know him. You may be surprised with what you find. And last, but certainly not least is Kayleigh Shaughnessy. It's hard for me to describe her role in my life in just a couple sentences. She is my dearest friend. She has always been there for me. Our friendship is so deep that no one, I repeat, no one else fully understands. The amount of inside jokes alone is enough to surprise most. I feel like these words don't quite do her justice. Kayleigh is very talented, funny, and outgoing. Without her I might have gone insane long ago. For you, my dear friend. Taylor + Kayleigh = Good (Mrs. Yeschick's class).
Well folks, that's all for this week. Until next time. Stay on the road to your better life. Help those in need. Be there for someone.
