Life lessons

5 years ago I decided to leave a really good job that I enjoyed and had fun at to go to another. I went to this other job so I could go to U of A and work on my Chemical Engineering degree. This job allowed me to go to school during the day and still work full time. I really had no idea what I was going into, just the idea that it was like a past job. I was truly excited for this job simply because it looked like my future was looking like it was getting better. When I first started I was a young and naive and thought I truly knew a lot. When I first started at this job I thought of it as just a temporary job and figured once I got my degree I would be set.

Here I am 5 years later, I am still working at the casino in the surveillance department and reflecting back at those several days I have spent there. How many lessons I have learned professional. How many heart breaks I have had to go through because of that job. How many nights I have stayed awaken because of the many issues that I have had to endure. How many people have seen arrive and leave. How many accomplishments I have succeed. How many times have had to look at my errors. The one "How many" I really enjoy is how many true friends I have gained because of that one job.

As I have been typing this I noticed that I have placed a lot of bad things down. This job as been harsh on so many scales even more so recently. It has not been an easy ride but I have to say I have had the chance to gain a lot and learn a lot that not many other people will ever have. As the recent items have occurred I really have learned some lessons that I might have to use in future job, the lesson that I can't trust very many people and I always have to be ready.

I am not entirely sure what is going to happen in the future but I do know I have to change some things at work dealing with items I have talked about. I do need this job until something else arrives so I need to make sure I am protect myself.

5 years have gone by in my life and I have learned a great deal and have truly learned that I will continue to learn. I have gained good friends, some who have gone and some that stand close. But the one lesson I have truly learned is all in all I stand alone and need to make sure I protect myself.

When view through a window looks bad look through another.

In yesterdays post I talked about the amount of stress that I am placing myself in and stretching myself so thin that I am actual feeling a real effect of it. I began to look at everything that I am doing and the hell that I am placing myself into which a very bad situation, one that could place my whole future in a hell. I am seeing that because I am trying to do so many things that I am actually being very shellfish and not doing the right thing. I have so much that is riding on me and yes I need to have fun, but I also need to remember there are other things that should be holding precedence over. Its time to get thing straight and see there is a definitive path in which I must follow to make sure my future at hand, the way it may happen won't be changed because of poor choices on my part. Its time to close one window, and begin to look out another to see a new view, picture, hope for the future.

I know every goal is possible and easily attainable, I just have to keep up with it at all times. I am pretty sure the hardest one is getting to 200 pounds fit. The second one, process of getting into search and rescue, may take longer then one year, but I really do want push for this.  There are other goals, or dreams that I wish to accomplish but they should not be placed on the list due to the fact they may not be attainable in a set time period. I well strive for those goals much as I can in hopes to reaching them I know people make goals and hope for them, but only hold them for so long. I try as hard as I possible can to ...

Travel of the mind

Over the past 3 years I have been obsessed with travel movies, travel books, but most of all imagining the places I can go. I don't believe I have ever been in such a wanting of something then the ability to get up and travel the world, see new things, enter a world of others. I think the main reason for this is that I believe it will help me find my self. Learn from others to lighten the dark corners of my life. Understand the true human spirit and why we act and do what we do. It was around three years ago when I got to see Europe and explore two counties full of culture and new ways to light up my life. The sad thing it took almost three years to realize it because my eyes were covered by a blanket known as a fake relationship. I luckily didn't forget the sights, the food, and the people that I got to interact with. I don't believe I will ever forget those item now because it means so much. I am so very thankful that I was given that opportunity to see Germany and Italy....
