An Uncommon Dialogue ;)

Let me first say that I am absolutely amazed that we live in a day and age where I can update, and write a blog post from phone. Wow! For the past two days, I've been reading a book called 'Conversations with God', and it is absolutely beautiful. I'm on page 38, and everything resonates. It just clicks. The books, (I believe there is more than one, I think there's a whole series) have always been accessible to me, however it hasn't been until this specific moment in my life that I've opened myself to the wisdom on found on every page. I'm choosing to live my life based on the truth, the ultimate truth. Everything I do from now on, will reflect that.

Someday I'm going to be a father, and I'll be granted one of the grandest privledges life has to offer. I'll be responsible for caring for, and nurturing another human to maturity. What I do, how I treat my children, the events and experiences we share together will be the foundation for how they will want to choose, and create their own lives. So it's very important that the time between now and then I make good choices. Choices for my highest good. Choices that a wise father would make.

Today I officially got on the payroll at Chipotle, and did the nitty gritty paperwork. That was no accident either. I started the process roughly three weeks ago when I decided that was where I wanted to grow. I made good choices, I put my 200% on the table, and really made an impression on them. My first official day will be this Friday, and it'll be my time to shine. It will be my chance to prove myself, that I am more than my words.

As we grow, I'd like to share my experiences, and whatever insight I can muster from them. Life is not a private affair, but you already knew that ;)

I am my own hero, and so are you.

with love,

A Softer Inside

So they say that you are who you surround yourself with mostly, and at first I really didn't want to believe it. Namely because I used to surround myself with "less than reputable" characters, to put it gently. What I noticed is that when I hung out with these people, my life was really chaotic, it was a hot mess. I got myself into situations that weren't for my highest good. Although I've always had the intention of doing good, and what's right, the moment would get to me. I'd make choices, without considering long term implications. I'd tell lies, without considering long term implications. A lot of those seeds I've planted in the past, I've dealt with, in some way shape or form, but every once in a while, I'll be surprised. Someone, something will irk me, in such a way, that feelings come out, and I'm forced to deal with it, then and there.

This is a time to plant good seeds. I think that what I do now, is more important than ever before. The pace of my life is accelerating at such a rate, where it'll be necessary to not have looming burdens in my heart. It will be necessary to have quality friends, in a quality environment, and a higher quality of life.

Why, Hello Again!

I feel as if I have so much to say, so many tales to tell, just without the obligation or need to do so. Well after a little hiatus, I am back to blogging again. If you followed me before, you'll notice some things changed here and there. First and foremost I retired the luismiguelrivera.com domain, many apologies. All my older posts are still available, and your eyes are more than welcome to them.

I'd like to start off by mentioning that at present, I am now living with a close group of friends, and that I am healthy. Important to mention, because I'm usually in different situations all the time. I'm blogging again, because I feel an inert urge deep within my soul to keep on writing and publishing, like I used to back in the day. "Things" happen all the time, and there are days that I'd like to just look back, and kind of reflect on the perspectives of my own past, so that I can continually better my present.
