I really can't stand Kentucky. I spend quite a bit of time in the Commonwealth and I often complain about several things there. For example, the weather is a lot colder than Tennessee, the roads are rated among the most dangerous in America, and the high school drop-out rate is incredibly high. In addition, some of the people I work with are very peculiar. One person I know wont make right hand turns in her car. Another won't leave the small town my company is located in. By the way, did I mention I live in a 22 foot camper with no running water during the winter months?
So lately I have been thinking about my situation. All of the things I just mentioned are things that surround me. They are things that don't affect who I am, my worth as a husband, father, or friend. They are really just things that I see on the "outside". I am starting to realize that so many times the answer to whatever it is that may be at issue is within. We just need to stop and listen to our Inner Voice once in a while.
This year I am going to try and see my circumstances differently. I am going to view the old campground as my "fighters camp". My place to prepare and focus for what the future holds. I am going to reset my mind to really go deep into my heart and ask myself the hard questions and to prepare to be a champion in whatever my journey holds.
