Get It In, son...

Yesterday, I had a heart felt discussion with a friend of mine who is making some serious moves. Good moves, but major moves nonetheless.  In the conversation, while encouraging them not to let nothing stop them from reaching their goals, I got really hyped because I saw how hard work and dedication is no respecter of persons, but only a respecter of the consistency and constancy.

So, it was at the moment in the conversation that I'm hearing our discussion and got an "AH HA!" moment and I said to myself, "It's on like Donkey Kong!"

My partner and I have this song we sing when we both know we're working hard at something.  We start singing, "Get it in, son, get in..." I have now added another aspect to it: Taking it back and doing Da Wop (for those of you that don't know the old school watch this video and look at #1...heck, watch the whole video and get your laugh on and think, "WOW! I use to dance like that?!?!? LOL!!)

ANYWAY, the point is I've made a decision to really do what I need to do to get to the place that I know I need to be.  Some friends just don't know how they really effect you (read yesterday's blog on Everything That You Touch) but I definitely intend to let that effect be seen. 

It's time to get it in, son, get it in...

Everything That You Touch

Have you ever wondered how you many people you come and contact, talk with, and essentially bond with? I was thinking of the many people that I've come in contact with throughout the years and one of the things that I haven't really realized is that there is an exchange that happens.

In my quiet moments with my grandmother, she use to tell me that everything you touch is effected by your touch.  I will go so far as to say that now, as I'm older, that everyone that I've touched and come in contact with, has effected me and vice versa. It's amazing what interaction with people can do.

If you ever touched a pane of glass, that thing that is always left behind is your fingerprint.  People's lives are panes of glass that we leave on our fingerprints on.  Everything that we touch displays a reminder that we were there.  Now what is most important is whether or not your fingerprint becomes a blemish or part of a beautiful piece of the artwork that we call our lives.
