(123) Twenty-nine years alcohol free May 22 and a short autobiography of my life since May 22, 1997

For me I have a stake in the community, I own my own business. The business has potential to do well based off what I’d like to put in it effort wise. I am blessed. I have a home that is paid for. I am blessed. I went back to school in 2006 and in the way that I set my goal back then for my studies I have a high degree of potential to take what I have learned and use this knowledge in the direction of the goals I set l0ng ago in a big way today. I am blessed; this is rewarding to the degree that I have not stopped studying since I graduated in December of 2021. In the first year of studies after graduating CSULB I looked over my whole education experience and placed focus on what I’ve learned to set a further goal, which I have been working and studying day in and day out with great ambition and even excitement due to higher possibilities. This is post conventional moral reasoning and high dopamine baselines that are a derivative of this higher drive of future implications that this hard work goes beyond my self. This is service beyond self due to gratitude, love and hope for a brighter future for all. I decided in 2020 to start playing the acoustic guitar and have done so every day I am getting better I really enjoy it. I started taking lessons in July of 2024, and currently I am trying to bridge the gap from an advanced beginner to an intermediate guitar player. I have added bar chords, learning guitar theory, notes across the fretboard, scales and finger picking. I hope to be a campfire guitar player or play for family and friends to increase joy, happiness and good times. I am still hopeful as an avid athlete, but times have limited my ability to train as much, but the drive is alive, especially after 10 years of racing motocross was a big part of my early life accomplishments. Making it to a top five intermediate. I continued racing in 2000-2004 entering in 45 cross country mountain bike races. I moved up to sport class and had a top five finish. I hoped to and had set a goal for in 2004 that by the time I was fifty I hoped to be racing XC mountain biking in the 50 expert class. I would like to think in 2004 before I got hurt I was well on my way. I set a combined goal in 2004 along with the XC MTB racing goal to get married by the time I was fifty. I gave myself 12 years to achieve this goal as well, instead I had resistance in the form of naysayers, barriers, and non-believers, that I still experience today. Yet, I never even till this day have I not reinforced myself daily towards achieving this goal. The dream of finding true love and getting married has been my hope, my goal, and my dream that I live for and work towards achieving every day.

Do you still think I have naysayers, nonbelievers, and resistance that contribute to or negate the result or even try to halt the possibility of my hopes of this dream ever becoming a reality for me?

Nonetheless, I exhibit the character of a genuine and authentic human being that is motivated and driven in life to work interdependently with others for the common good for the better of mankind. For this I am blessed. Throughout life I would like to say that I have evolved like a fine wine in all areas of my life, but it is not to say that I have not come across the resistance of suppression and even containment. Still, I am emotionally and intellectually mature, and exhibit an autobiographical self of; imagination, creativity, reason, language, extended memory, and anticipated future in a way that I can be proud of. It is well earned, and I am thankful for this experience of life, and being a positive outgoing person every day that is driven by gratitude. I am motivated by an internal locus of control which is a prerequisite of the growth mindset and positive vibes I exhibit. Life should be exciting with belief and hope for the unlimited possibilities for all of mankind there should be nothing that we cannot achieve together. We must stand together to be strong for one another so that all can experience hope with no barriers. So that every person can have the opportunity to find happiness and contentment through believing, achieving, and succeeding.
