Ive spent the last 3-4 years waking up and letting happen whatever was going to happen. All I attempted to do is pay attention to what is in front of me and did my best to take care of Lance. From doing that has strengthen a career, added a dollar in my pocket every so often and had a real chance to take care of my health. I have only committed to small improvements to something everyday. Today, society would look at me from the outside in and label a complete mess. What I have decided to do is I have taken ownership to mess and I have built character to take care of it day by day. Moments that may need my full attention to resolve a past due payment have been taken. Today, very minimum to nothing at the moment is past due. I Only took moments of my life to use the energy to take care of that bill, I took the rest of the day in walking with the sun in my face and tunes playing in my ear. Work may become stressfull, and I will use all my energy to find out why it is stressful and take small improvements throught the moment, hour, shift, week to do my job and resolve it the best I can.
Today on New Years Eve 0f 2013, I have had conversations with 9 people in some sort of circles of my life. Of those 9, 7 were already having a bad day, health was deteriorating, broke, and had a life sucks attitude. Many issues I am going through are being taken care of small improvements of me waking up every day and pay attention and do everything I can to take care of them. Whats positive is I am 12 lbs less I was a month ago and 17 lbs less than I was 2 months ago. I can walk as much as I want. I have a career with all the opportunities I want to pursue. Other unspoken issues are soon to be resolved in time. My issues are not the Presidents fault, they were not the results of some cliff thing, and a hacker has never taken anything from me that I couldn't replace.
My life is not perfect, not complete but really not that bad. Myself, that I feel keep current with events in everyday life, still have not found any reason, person or organization to make myself unhealthy, broke, unemployed and in debt.
So what is Lance's New Years 2013 resolutions:
- Stay Healthy and never be Unhealthy
- Don't spend more than what I have
- Show up at work and do what I'm suppose to do and receive benefits and a pay check
- Pay my bills the best I can do as I have been to stay out of debt
I believe with all I know that Life is and can be REALLY Good!
In November of 2009, I had placed myself in a critical low financial situation working part time at an office retail store with no benefits Living in my home state of Missouri. I was renting a run-down make-shift garage 1 room house from a relative in a very low spiritual and low moral attitude about life. Using the library’s internet, I found an ad on craigs list for full time Holiday help at a warehouse and applied thinking I needed something to get bills and child support all caught up. My son was a senior in high school and I was determined not to attend his graduation that following spring unemployed. So on Thanksgiving 2009 weekend I started at Amazon.com in Coffeyville Kansas as an SMX associate. . Within 5 months with SMX, I was converted to a full pledge Amazonian with benefits and everything. I drove an hour and a half everyday for 6 months till I was able to afford for deposit and first months rent of a nearby apartment to the Amazon FC. Within another 6 months of being employed with Amazon, I was a fill in PA as a teir 1 for 2 months then hired as a teir 3 seasonal PA. Also within the first 6 months I was selected to participate in multiple Kaizans to help the departments in the FC improve. After my first full year plus a couple of months was accepted to apply and was offered a full time teir 3 position to relocate along with a 5 digit bonus offered to relocate cross country to CAE1 Amazon FC in Columbia, South Carolina. Being involved in launching the FC gave me another opportunity for an international opportunity to assist in setting up a fulfillment center in India this summer. So Bottom Line, in less than 3 years with the company went from almost homeless and discouraged to an elite gated community apartment, assisted financially getting my son through Junior College and opportunities world wide with Amazon.com that I would have never imagined that I would be where I am today as a ICQA PA. This was accomplished by Hard work and showing up for work non-stop.
