On chasing dreams.... Im not asking for charity. Im not a beggar so lets get that straight right now. This is my story. Right now im having a nap on the floor of my friends basement in the city. Not because its comfy, but because I cant afford the gas money to drive back out to my house. Its my sons celebration of learning, tonight, and Im choking back tears because I wanted to take him and his mom for dinner after we meet at his school and if I do that, then my direct debit truck payment might come back NSF. Im so stressed at night I cant sleep so I self medicate with natural remedies including, but not limited to; camomile tea and melatonin if needed. The doctor gave me Ativan for anxiety but I hate pharmaceuticals so I try a more natural route. Everything I have has been poured into making American Top Team Edmonton work. Ive offered investors that Ill sign my truck over as collateral on their investments because I know once our gym is up and running, paying bills wont be an issue. Im hungry because Sobeys brand kraft dinner is getting shitty tasting. Im out of shape because I havent been training. I cant afford to train right now. Im walking about as fine a line as one can walk, next to overall and complete self destruction, but what I strive for is much bigger than MY dreams, or what I want. Im doing this for thousands of others as much as im doing it for myself. My struggle is a pittance compared to billions of others in the world, so this is not me complaining AT ALL! This is me sharing my struggle, so others can see what real dream chasing means. And you know what? Im 31 years old. And I feel more alive and inspired than Ive ever felt in my life because Im going for it. I was born to fight, so at this point, laying in my buddies basement, with tears in my eyes, I can either call up a construction company and ask to be sent out to camp and run some equipment where Ill be depressed sitting in a machine all day... Or I can hope and pray that my good intentions will bring good results. That Ill have a fully functioning facility within a month or two, where men women and children can begin chasing their dreams, whatever they may be. The greatest gift Ill ever be able to teach, mold and mentor into people is that of self empowerment. I have my education degree and I am one HELL of a teacher. I am going to help a lot of people. And if I have to switch from Sobeys brand kraft dinner next week, to plain presidents choice spaghetti noodles, so I can throw the extra $5 Ive saved, into my truck as gas money, then lets do it. Thats me chasing my dream. And I swear on my own life that Ill make my dreams reality, in the name of my son Brady David Joseph Hague, by any means necessary. My boy sees me struggle, and hes gonna watch me shine. So lets fight for it.
