17,418 Days of my Life

Hello Everyone,

I am preparing for an Event on Monday and I began to think of all the Days that have been given to me by God that's 17,418 days .

I remembered when my Grandmother, Brother, Father and Mother passed away how I felt, like it was the end of the World, every time each event occurred. I remembered my Divorce as I was leaving, I kissed my twins goodbye knowing in my mind how difficult this was going to be for me and them, as I was driving away I saw my daughter, she was looking through her upstairs windows with tears in her eyes not understanding why her Father was leaving. I moved back with my Parents, after many Years on my own to truly find my selfworth, thank God they were supportive with me through my entire Life . While at my Parents home, I realized that Money doesn't make the Man and money doesn't make you successful. Planning was essential to True success, writing down goals every month to reach a desired destination something I had forgotten because of my arrogance. You see when it came to Business I was gifted, I could motivate a Team with out trying and we would accomplish Great things. No need to write goals if I was attaining them, so I thought.

On my learning curve over the next 7 years, I had many failures, made mistakes, spend money carelessly had sorrowful moments when I thought my Heart was truly broken. Close friends that have passed away. Business investments that have gone terribly wrong. Mistakes in Relationships that I regret, Trusting people I shouldn't have. Mistake after Mistake, Failure after Failure, Disappointment after disappointment and Decisions that should have never been made. Yet because I made all those mistakes, had all them Failures, Trusted the wrong people had all those disappointments it lead me to where I am at today.

A believer in Christ, Successful Business Man, Incredibly adoring wife with a Miracle child that loves me unconditionally, Wonder full Friends and Relatives that make my Life worth Living. It truly is a Wonderful Life, the 17,418 of My Life have been Magnificent and I would not exchange or take away one single day from my Life because each day has defined My Character and shaped My Destiny.

You see with each day you live you grow, Great Days give me Happiness, Rough Days give me Experiences I need to have both to experience real growth in My Life. Happiness brings me Joy, Trials gives me Character, Death makes me appreciate Life-keeps me Human, Failure keeps me Humble, Success rewards my Work, Family keeps me Balanced and GOD keeps me going, His love is the Fuel to My Eternal engine My Soul.

Enjoy all the Days that GOD gives you. Life does not have a visible bow but it's still a Gift that's why it's called the PRESENT. There is no such thing as a Bad Day they are all Great, Just try missing one. Have a Great Life.

To your Success,
Fidel
