After the tenth person confided their personal questions of growth in me I began to question my own qualifications on the subject of “how’s”. Recently it’s been alot of, “How do I…,” “How do we…” “How did they…” from my friends and colleagues, which is scary. Someone is looking to me for an answer…an answer, more than likely, I’m not qualified to give. But I’ve been trying anyway. On our own journey we inevitably come to a series of questions…the  what, why and hows of our lives. The answer is never the same and sometimes, the answer you find now is not the same as the one you’ll have ten years from now. Most of it comes down to work and time, the old fashion way. Picking yourself up by the bootstraps and giving yourself time to get to doin’ what needs to be done. I’m in the process of this right now, so it’s frightening in the midst of things to be asked how you fix something that’s broke. I wrestle back and forth on whether my personal experience lends me to be some sort of guiding light to others (and believe me, I’m far from thinking that’s the case). Is it really true that those that can’t do, teach? Are my failures and then the efforts I make t lessons for not only myself, but others?
