When you came in, the air went out...

Since we left off last I was in the air with how my life was going. As of now it appears I am a apprentice electrician for Flint Energy Services. Its pretty badass, easy work, good money, No complaints...

I seem to be making decent gains at the gym, pulling an easy 410 when i deadlifted last. Mindset plays such a huge role in everything. Although sometimes it can be extremely hard to get into the right mindset once there, the options are limitless.

I will never no matter how hard I try, understand people. Although with time you can manipulate and help influence peoples ideas, To completely understand and dissect someone is and always will be beyond me. Society is cheap and easily influenced though, regardless if someone says they don't care about money, when it comes down to it, everyone cares about money. Appearance is another thing that people are heavily influenced on. So many people will tell you that looks has nothing to do with it, however if they could, they would take home the hottest girl in the world, sure she might not last but if she seemed decent at the time no one would say no.

Greed and Gluttony is what fuels this world. Even charities have someone benefiting, even if it is for the 'greater good' someone is volunteering or donating for their image. In a world with minimal selfless acts, does everyone have a greater meaning behind their actions?

She isn't a saint but she'll drop you to your knees

Several days, weeks, months fly by. Routine has set in, time no longer seems to exist. Rio (my chocolate lab) is growing like a weed and becoming super intelligent. Over much internal debate I have come to realize that I dislike personally training the average person. Give me someone who wants to body build or a young powerlifter or athlete and I am like a pig in shit, however I grow tired of trying to motivate Joe. I have come to reason that generally no matter what I do that person needs to make a self realization that they are wasting away.

"If you were given one vehicle for your entire life would you put terrible fuel in it? Would you let it sit idle in the driveway for hours and let it just exhaust itself away? Anyone who owns a vehicle would call me an idiot for suggesting such a thing. However, You are only given one body in your entire life, and yet you will continue to disrespect it and destroy yourself internally... Why?"

In any case now its soul searching time, do I really want to try and sell stuff to people for the rest of my life... not really. Do I mind doing some grunt work and getting my hands dirty? Makes me feel like I have earned my keep, so to speak of course. In any case I am leaving it in the open what I plan on doing however I have just completed H2S alive and Fall Protection at the local college. The road does change over time and off ramps are taken...
