Talking to Myself
Lord knows I can’t save the world. Yet I have this silly little thought in the back of my head telling me I can. I can’t even understand why I do the things I do sometimes, let alone tell someone else what is right and wrong for them. I guess I’ll just bless those that come in contact with me and keep it moving. I don’t have the energy and intelligence to save them all… and then I ask myself, “Who am I to criticize someone for how they are living?” It is easy to slander someone when I am on the outside looking in. I am sure even the Somalian pirates have rhyme and reason as to why they do what they do. Who knows what motivates or provokes people to do what they do? I believer there are bigger driving forces in life then just money alone. Maybe knowledge isn’t for everyone. Who am I to say that ignorance isn’t serving some significant purpose? Ignorance keeps many people employed on many levels in today’s society.
I am not rambling off today; I am simply telling myself that I can’t save them all. At times I get so caught up telling myself that I can, that I miss out on what is important. Lately, I haven’t been giving the appropriate energy to my family and I can see the effects of it. Thinking I can save the world had me kind of selfish for a while. I have to give more Maurice to Maurice’s family instead of using them as my secretaries. Even from behind this wall I can see how easy it is to lose perspective. I am glad I have the ability to check and correct myself. I can’t save the world but I can save my family.

How funny, I feel the same way at times but I then began to focus on my own problems and it brings me back to reality. GOLF is a good mind break!

Make sure to continue saving(for lack of a better word) yourself…I believe every individual has an impact which may influence those close to them i.e. your family but in the end the individual makes the choices to save themselves not someone else. It seems to me that you are on in process of doing just that from reading your daily blog. I am not sure how I came across this a few months ago but for what it’s worth it seems to be a healthy outlet

I think with a little help, we as men, can save the world. Even if it’s one person at a time. Because that one person that you did save could be the only sane person in this crazy world.

Maurice,
Many people under the age of 25 make dumb mistakes. It’s unfortunate that yours were played out to a wider audience.
But, you will have additional chances and remember that Everything Works Out Perfectly. EWOP
If you can go out and have a positive effect on those around you, you can climb mountains.
You have made some mistakes… who hasn’t? It sounds like you are learning from them. Get your self right, and use your God given talents and make a difference. Read as much as you can on personal development and become mentors to many and help them not walk down the same path as you.
Be a guiding light…
Much blessings,
Travis Wright
