I don’t want to just survive. I want to thrive.<\/p>\n
My best thoughts always come to me while I’m running… There’s something about exercise to occupy enough of my mind to give space for the really essential thoughts to come to the forefront to be dwelled upon.<\/p>\n
Moving to Winston-Salem is really going to be the boot camp of my life. There are so many things I could do, want to do, will do. It’s safe to say that most of my days will be occupied with school, but afterwards, I want to do so many thing to use my God-given abilities, and to stretch those I already employ. I want to publish that children’s book I’ve been doing sketches for and start my own graphic\/web design small business\/consulting service, among other things. I certainly have the experience and the portfolio pieces to present myself well. I’ll probably have another third-shift job too–who knows where.<\/p>\n
The common thread that ties all these together is that I know I’ll have success in them. It’s not just some idle pondering and meek wondering, “Ooh, I hope that would work out if I tried it…” No–it’s a certain knowledge that I’ll have success in that which I need to survive. I’ll be provided for, and more–I’ll thrive.<\/p>\n
