Like a Boss

It's crazy how when your foot gets in the door, that doors just start flying open all over the place. You keep finding new opportunities and blessings around every corner. I guess what I'm trying to say is that don't ever give up. You have the power within yourself to affect your environment positively or negatively. If you finally get up off your ass and get to work, then opportunities will start falling like rain. It's crazy. I was so stagnant a month ago, but I guess that I was only sitting in the eye of the storm. I mean, it's not like I just blew up or anything, but I'm seeing a ton of opportunities, and I finally have a job with some potential for upward mobility. The sky is the limit at present, and it's really hard for me to not be optimistic about my future. It's the first time in a few years that I've actually been able to say that. I'm really grateful for everyone who's been here for me when I wasn't myself, when I was down and out and when I was stagnant. Special thanks to those who reminded me that the key in life lies within you. No one else can get you out of your funk. And a particular thanks to a dear friend of mine who's words served as the lightning to get my pilot light going again. Once it was lit, it took a few months for it to get going again, but it's burning just as bright as ever. Because of that, I'm seeing a shift back to the attitude that I had when I was nineteen and the world was wide open. It's amazing. To the people who say that I have to be happy with what I got, I have to quote Tony Montana: "You be happy, me, I want what's coming to me... The world, chico, and everything in it." I'm riding high, my vision is clear, I can see nothing but bright eyes and clear skies in front of me. I can only go higher, and I ain't ever coming back down.
