I like your thoughts, too. Very intuitive! I like analyzing life. I think we all need to do it more often. If we don't, we start following rabbit trails. What are our priorities? What is more important than....or is it Who is most important? You are so right that adults are just "bigger kids", still groveling. I remember the point I learned that and it does shake up your ideal hopes and dreams. But keep them for a better time and place! People sometimes do get shallow and self-obessed, why? Because they loose sight of what life is really about. (I don't have a blog yet, so If you dont mind, I'll share some of my thoughts.)I think life is all about learning that there is a Creator that DOES care and has an ultimate plan! And It's about seeing that we are a part of His plan! When it's all said and done, all WILL burn! so life's really about relationships, LOVE is what's eternal! God gives us gifts and talents to use as tools to bring about his plan. If our focus is not LOVE, caring for others, honoring our Creator, we have lost the whole reason we are on this planet. Life is so very freeing and energizing when you can focus on what's most important! If you can simplify your priorities to loving and serving God and those he brings into your life, it can be the greatest adventure of all! I really like your work, Josh. I like your thoughts, too.

You put that up and then come talk to me. But....you are right about many of these things do not matter. I do think that who you know comes into play but more importantly how do you know them. Everything happens for a reason and if you got the job off of someone you know than you met them for a reason. Whether it be a good conversation, through a friend or your work. As long as you live your life honestly and openly these so called "lucky" things happen to you. NO luck is based off the principle of good things happen to good people and that "luck" is what comes back for the great things you do. So just keep doing what your doing and good things will happen. Just think man under what circumstances did we meet....luck? Or does it have purpose. People try to make money and have a successful career to support one of the only things that matter to them, their families. I don't think that it's all about mortgages and in some cases it is but more importantly is my family gonna lose their home. A man feels a certain responsibility to earn these things in life respectably. Maybe the projection is one of money hungry worrisome people but I believe that inside is one of a different tune. I think that you make great points and just wanted to put a little spin on it buddie. Thanks for making me think....nice to know it still works. OK

As far as the bench press thing goes though, thank the Maker. I was gonna be in trouble with that one. I strongly believe there is a third category there, where the two meet.
