Kickin’ Ass And Takin” Names

Maybe I’m just overly observant, or read into things too much. Nah- I’ve got to think everything happens for a reason and some things really are just serendipitous. Like finally talking to my friend Jack after an insane game of phone tag. When he finally caught me today, I commented on us being seriously committed people who never give up. He then mentioned this Calvin Coolidge quote that I had to share:

I wanted to share it because first of all- it’s just great and second because of my post last night about Blue Lollipop Road getting a face-lift. I closed that post with; “Here’s to finding something you love and making it happen!”
Persistence. 
Yep. A lot of it. I thought a lot about how some people work and work and train and train and try and try for years and years for one race, one moment, one thing- just because they want to or love “it”. Kind of like how I love this. It has only been about 9 months of writing but it could be 999 and I’d still be writing- even if no one liked it, wanted to read it or if I ever made money at it. I love it that much and it’s worth it to me. That feels pretty amazing after a lot of years of trying to figure out what the hell I really love doing.
I hope everyone out there is finding something to be persistent about, then knocking on every door till one opens.
Nice finally talking to ya Jack.

    omg, how I needed to hear that one about persistence.
    and oh how I needed to hear about having persistence persuing what it is that you love doing!
    I’m still on that search… plus now I feel like I have a time clock, so it’s not just something I can delay for “someday in the future”, anymore.
