I am Tired.

     This seems like a an off title to my next blog.  I have always tried to write about whats on my mind and topics that I believe that matter the most to me and to others.  Right now this is what is on my mind.  I am Tired.

     This can be a very open ended statement.  Why am I tired you might ask?  Well here are a few items:

  • I am tired of listening to people in D.C. tell me they know what is best for me in Pottsboro, TX.  
  • I am tired of adults always acting like they are in grade school and blaming a problem on someone else. 
  • I am tired of people taking advantage of other people just because they can or think its ok. 
  • I am tired of the government thinking they know everything about everything when they know nothing about anything.  
  • I am tired of news organizations preaching like what they say is the gospel without even caring if they are preaching the truth. 
  • I am tired of people believing that the government and the POTUS have the answers and the salvation they are seeking. Especially when salvation lies within.
     The list can go on forever, I assure you.  I digress and will work to bring this all around to a good point.  We always have these troubles, thoughts, emotions and even problems in our lives.  I am not exempt from this list by any means!  

     At the end of the day we have to ask ourselves, why are we here, what is our purpose on this earth.  We do not always have that answer and that is fine.  I love the movie Forest Gump.  In that movie he asks his dying mother, what his destiny is and she responds, I don't know, you will have to find that out on your own. 

     While we go through these troubling times in our lives, we have to remember, we all get tired.  We are all tired of a lot of items, other people, or what is happening in our lives.  When we reach that point where there is an impasse, it's not because we made a mistake. It's because were meant to be there and have an impact however little or small. 

     The problem with this society is that people reach an impasse, they get tired, and they give up. They reach out and start looking for a handout. They think that giving half an effort is all they have to do and then it should be given to them on a silver platter.  

     I am tired of a lot of things in my life, one thing I do know though, is that when i am tired and know I have reached an impasse. It's time to make things better. It's time to not be tired and do something that makes me happy again.  I know that no matter what the situation, I have only one person to rely on and that is myself.

     When we forget that it's through our own beliefs and inner strengths that we overcome obstacles in our lives such as being tired. People should remember that you have to have faith that there is a greater purpose for us all. People should remember that there were many more people before us that were also tired and still they moved forward.  People need to remember that we should be lifting each other up, not putting each other down. Being a good person in our own lives will benefit not only ourselves, it will benefit everyone around us. 

     If we allow those we look up too, to always put others down, or always find the problems in their lives or who they are, then they might not be the right persons to look up too.

You are a special kind of stupid aren't you?

     I started this post the other day and it was titled something else and decided to change it since people never cease to amaze me. I know a lot of people. They either worked with me, were one of my employees when I managed people, or friends and family.  I like to follow a wide variety of people on my twitter account.  I think it's important to get a well rounded idea of what people think and believe.      There are some horrific tragedies that have occurred in our country.   They are tragedies that we have seen in the past and will continue to see in the future.  We as Americans come together and support each other, we provide support, food, money, and a prayer.  All are important to the process of rebuilding their lives that have been destroyed.      Theordore Rosevelt was fond of the West African Proverb "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." Pretty good saying in my book. ...

Clean your Windshield

It’s that time of year where people will have the “new year, new me” phrase going strong. For many that will last about 2-3 weeks.  For others they will last well into mid-year. I am of the philosophy that you should make changes immediately in life. If you need to start eating healthier then go to the cupboard and fridge and throw out all unhealthy food. If you are going to stop drinking, throw out all your booze. (Rest a sure this will not happen in my house.) If you are going to start working harder on your livestock, turn off your phones and get to the barn. If you are going to sit back and re-evaluate your life while planning for new adventures, sit down and make a list. Every one of these goals requires you to clean your windshield to see what is ahead of you.  As we go down the highway of life we have a big broad windshield in front of us. We can see great distances and have great hopes of what I'd to come in our lives. In-order to see down that road, you must clea...

It is Just a Show

  In the beginning I was not a watcher or a fan. There was a lot of talk. Chatter online. Then I decided to tune and check out all the hype. There is cattle, ranching, horses, politics, drama, and suspense. This show was a creation from the mind of a very creative horse jockey. The story is well written, the acting is superb, and the raw attitude is what brings people back each week. This show hits an audience that is hungry for real talk, real action, and real results. The bad part is it is all fiction.  The show is full of wrong information. Actions that make no sense. Calves do not jump up and start running immediately after being born. Most cattle ranches don’t take their hands and shoot them off a cliff if their employment has ended. They don’t brand their workers for show of loyalty. The good news is it is all fiction.  The characters in the show are people you either love or hate. They are characters that bring a lot of talent to the show. These people come from ma...
