Hello Gang! Hopefully this past week you received your lessons and blessings. Well, my final week of training ends tomorrow with Northstar Batteries here in Springfield MO. I made the cut! I begin my grave yard shift this Sunday from 10pm till 6am. I also received my first paycheck today. All my coworkers are great people to work with and all my supervisors have been consistently supportive to assist my training. It has been a great feeling to become a part of this great team. We all work hard and it shows by the way Northstar produces high quality products. When I went to receive my check it was given to me with caring hands and a warm smile from Human Resources. I had this great feeling like a baseball player hitting a homerun out the stadium and jogging around the bases to home plate. On another note...I do miss being out there on the hunt job searching. So many valuable aspects of knowledge I gained. It was like a "Indiana Jones adventure" going through all the challenging obstacles to obtain my prize. It was thrilling and exciting being on the move constantly. I discovered greater ingenuity within me. Like a cat I was somehow always landing back on my feet when It seemed like I was falling. I learned to that its ok to except inconveniences because they pushed me to my next crevice to climb higher as I hung from some cliffs like a rock climber does. "Becoming to comfortable in this world dulls your edge" If you wanna be ready for what life throws at you, you gotta stay sharp and "conditioned" prepared for any struggle. I miss the " Angels" I met out there too because they made small miracles happen for me. Made sure I stayed warm and fed. They took over my car and drove through snow and rain storms up and down the interstates; through pitch black darkness they took over and drove my car through Mark Twain National Forest on highway 17. I miss the "Truckers" who assisted me with safe guidance through interstate traffic. I miss all the hard working mom's and dad's who were at the city and state agencies with their kids waiting to receive assistance in long lines; I Miss all the frisky hyper children who played and laugh with joy without a care in the world and influnced me to do the same. Listen Gang..."I am a witness to the true magic that happens out there...I am a witness to true faith and hope" You dont have to live in fear of the "unknown" You wont see the pure faith and magic untill you tackle the world as raw as you came into it..."with nothing and build courage to go on from that point" My dad passed Just last April 2018. And my dad said often to me: "Do you want a Understanding" or "do you want a GREATER UNDERSTANDING " To perceive and comprehend the significance and nature of things is UNDERSTANDING. But a Greater UNDERSTANDING is Enlightenment. Its obsrure to find it living in fears and worries. Seaching for a job is way bigger than the job gang..."its about developing and maturing what is greater within YOU" And if you can remain faithful to this greater "YOU" ...I guarantee with no doubt you will have the job you need. "As above...so below..the way we perceive is the way we flow"
