When I think about all the lost times...

16 Years ago I was so set in my ways. I had a "plan", or so I told myself: get those degrees and certifications. Apply myself accordingly, make a great income and life will take care of itself. Along the way "things" happened. I made a few very stupid decisions. I was offered a good paying job, took it, ran with it and ended up pushing my love for technology off to the side and allowed my then new job to dominate everything.

Had I just remained focused, just settled on a so-so job and went on to complete those certs and degrees, today I would be in a professional position. The almighty dollar would be so much more mightier than it is now. I would be making a differance in life not only to myself...but to others in a way that would be so much more satisfying to me now.

But anyhow, the time is now, that was the past and I have learned a great deal of a lesson from all those lost times: Stay focused!

But you know what? The journey is really just starting for me. So come along for the ride and let's see where this road ends up.
