New Digital Era

Ask and it will be given; Seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened.

Sometimes the connection from a problem (or an opportunity as others call it) to a solution is just a little way ahead, a bit further.  Just like a bridge hidden behind some trees and bushes.  It takes determination and perseverance to search for it, to get to it, to find it. And that’s where we are all lacking.

It’s not an easy task as people makes us believe.  It takes insurmountable amounts of energy to maintain the right approach and attitude; to not falter or weaken; to not give up.  It takes not only yourself, but more.  It takes your friends support  and dependability; it takes your family strength and protection; it even takes the humble smile of that unknown person in the mall or grocery store, and it takes that higher strength that nobody understands and that different people explain in different ways. I will let you define that as whatever you please for your beliefs.  What I am trying to say: it takes more than yourself!

At times we may feel we are lost in the middle of nowhere; a desert, jungle, forest, sea, mountain.  With nowhere to go or turn, and the exit could be just a few steps away.  Just like the bridge in the photo hiding behind trees and bushes.  Sometimes you can hear the cars, the noises, the bikes, the trucks but you cant see the bridge until you move in the right direction.  And sometimes that little step, that move can’t be achieved without the help of people that care, friends, family and that extra energy that exists and aids us all in a different way.

So whatever you do and wherever you are, don’t forget to ask, knock and seek,  to guide yourself to the bridge that will connect you to the other side you are looking for.

Thinking

Yesterday I drove to a nearby lounge to meet one of my good friends, Mr. Senti, and enjoy a good conversation and some frostys.

When I arrived I was introduced to one of the people hanging out at the lounge, a man named Bob.  We were sitting next to each other.  Bob was a grown man, with a family, a son and a great sense of humor. We just started talking.  It was a short but very constructive and nice conversation.

We talked about several things, but a few things he said were so true, they will be with me time and time again. He said, and I am trying to quote: In life “It’s always about who you know.  Now, Always and Forever”  And for the most part that statement is true. As much disposition, aptitude, attitude, and perseverance you have, its just about that person that can give you the shot, opportunity, break or chance.

Read carefully, I am not saying it’s always that way, but in most cases it is. It is just the way the world turns!!

The other thing he said was: “The world is full of takers and not many givers”  People that say: what is yours is mine and what is mine is mine.  People that just takes everything you give or share and hardly give back in the same way or quantity or quality.  And the takers will take until they cant take anymore.  So true.!

We talked for no more than 20 minutes but the things he said, the way he said them and the meaning they had in that precise moment in time are priceless.  The rest of the evening I hanged out with my friend Mr. Senti, one of the best dudes around. Enjoyed the football games, had a few frostys, shared a few jokes and remembered Bob’s words.

So people of the world, never loose your faith and keep pushing toward your goals until your break or opportunity comes.  And beware of the takers of this world.
