I am sitting here reflecting on the list of people I have encountered in my life: family that was imposed on me and those that I invited into my life. Wow. I am so happy I can see the results differently now, I measure the results differently now. Thank God, that I now see that I did not pick my family. And most importantly, I now see how my family operates: We love you on the condition you do it our way. I now see, where is the love in that? What I also now see and continue to suffer from, is the reality of a huge majority of those i chose invite into my life reflect the low level that I functioned on. Its fair but very unattractive. The great news is there is a short list of very reliable, GREAT people in my life now. Extraordinary people that came into my world when I was tried of the results I was getting, Ed and then there are others that are also open to growing and evolving and they are working on their life management skills to become more reliable, live with empathy, consideration, dignity, taking responsibility for their choices and their behavior first. The long list of unattractive associates, acquaintances, definitely not friends by my current definition, none of them are bank robbers or petty thieves. However, a very high percentage have no word, they do not follow through in a timely manner and they do not demonstrate empathy or integrity. Many of them have a lot of money though, yet they have become so unattractive to me. Do not call them if you need something. I sit here and remind myself, I picked them. I am moving on, creating Johns world, where it is required to demonstrate the life management skills to: 1) Have a word that can be counted on. 2) Follow through in a timely manner 3) Have empathy 4) be appreciative, be reciprocal. Knowing and valuing that if you ask me for help and if I can, you will not have to ask me twice. I will be there. You can take that the bank. And if I cant help you, I will be very specific in telling you why. I am thinking about the common denominator experience of lottery winners: I never knew how many friends I had until I was rich. I am building something very, very special and I see so many people who like money and they cannot show me the common courtesy that I would give them if they called me with an idea. I now see these people are not breaking any laws and they owe me nothing and they have every right to treat me the way they are treating me now. I now see this is just the level that they function on. I am so happy to have the skill to see that I never lost anything I never had and I do not want people who behave that way in my inner world. Onward for sure!
