TRANSFORMATION

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael the Traveling Trucker. This adventure is my walk from boyhood to manhood. Please remember that a lot of what you read was over 25-30 years ago. As you look into my life, look back into yours.

It started as a son. Born into a family of 5, Dad, Mom, and 3 sisters. Yep, the youngest. I didn’t have a relationship with dad or mom growing up. Both parents worked. Our family life was brutal at times. My dad was violent, that’s what he knew growing up. It’s all he had. Yes, there was some tender moment, but not many. I remember getting into the habit of stealing at a young age. This got me into trouble until I was in my 30’s. There was alcohol at our house, lot’s of it. I remember my 1st drunk outside of the family at 13. This drinking lasted until I was 30. I became an alcoholic and drug addict. I had sexual relations with anyone who wanted sex. Lot’s of partners. There is hope for all who read this. You can change IF YOU WANT TO. I lost more jobs, so-called friends, family members. I was close to my sister. After I was married for a few years, my sister told my wife, she didn’t think I was going to make it past my 25th birthday. I carried a gun, smoked, cussed, and generally hated people. My sweet bride put up with my drinking for the 1st 4 years of our marriage. She didn’t remember me sober, I don’t remember her but in a drunken state.

Life is what you make it, GOOD or BAD. I chose badly for way to many years. I have had to fight for any peace in my life. My wife was getting ready to leave me and take our oldest daughter, who was 1, away. She loved me but couldn’t stand, me being drunk every day. I had multiple affairs, lied at every question asked of me. My life was a wreck. God gently lead me to AA. I began getting sober. I went for 2 years. Every day I went to a meeting. My wife wanted to go to church. That is where I met Tim Miles. This man loved me enough to show me God’s word. He poured his life into mine. Tim was a recovered drug addict. that’s why we related. I pray for those who have any hurts, habits, or hangups to find HELP. It is just waiting for you. Take that step no matter how hard it may seem. YOU can Do It.

I have been arrested, several times. I thank God, I didn’t do any jail time. People were paid off to drop the charges. That’s the kind of people I hung out with. Money, drugs, and lots of alcohol. We watched out for each other for a while.

Now for the transformation, after a small glimpse of the dark side. My life today is one of JOY, PEACE, LONG SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, HONOR, SACRIFICE.

I believe In GOD the FATHER, JESUS his SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Through daily change, I have gotten on the path of righteousness. God is directing my every step. I love my wife and daughters. I would die for them. My finances are the best they’ve ever been. I started an internet business with faithful, loving people.

I have a book- GET STUCK ON HAPPY. This is a great read. Things to do every day to bring happiness into your life. I take full responsibility for my thoughts and actions. Quick to say I’m wrong and apologize. God has given me a new outlook on life. I see when I once was blind, hear when I was deaf, speak with wisdom when I was a fool. WHO ARE YOU BECOMING? Don’t waste another day walking in darkness, come into the light. I used to think I had to give up something I thought I loved. I gained everything through LOVE. Today I truly have good gifts and am able to pass along good gifts.

Choose today: LIGHT OR DARKNESS. Choose LIFE, NOT DEATH. There is so much out here that brings LIFE. Let’s find it together. I’ll walk with you, hold your hand, and encourage you every step of the way.

How much do YOU really want to CHANGE your mindset? Going from an unhappy, unfulfilled, and negative mindset, to a Positive, happy, totally fulfilled lifestyle. It’s about training YOUR mind to do simple tasks each day until they become a HABIT. 10 minutes a day. Yep, just 10 minutes.

I began reading a book from my Dear Friend, Mentor, and Business Coach JANET LEGERE. Get Stuck On Happy-30 Ways to Change Your Thoughts and Live a Happier Life. Janet’s passion for life, her easy style of teaching, writing, and Mentoring, has helped me on my journey to improve my thoughts and habits to always reflect the positive.

I love the GRATITUDE JOURNAL. This is a 30 day journal for writing down 3 things each morning, you are grateful for. Then 3 things at night you are grateful for. Then reflect back daily at your journal’s past days entries.

This might sound funny to some: There is a breathing technique. I personally have been doing this for years, so I understand the calming affect it has on your mind and body. It helps your whole being to quite the negative thoughts and refocus on the positive.

When you look around your house, DO YOU SEE HAPPY? I mean, do you smile often at the things ( pictures, flowers, stuffed animals, books, etc) around your house? Do the memories from these things bring a positive, happy smile to your day? If not, then begin today to fill your house with a positive, happy mindset. Look at these WORDS BELOW. Take 1 minute right now: Reflect on how they calm you, help you focus on the positive side of your SPIRIT.

Moments fill us with joy and happiness. Waiting for the perfect moment may take to long- Create YOUR HAPPY MOMENTS yourself and enjoy!

Traveler, Guest, Or Family

Hello Everyone, This Is Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure: WHO ARE YOU? In your world that you travel through, what is your status?

How do you relate to those around you?

Are you the traveler that comes in from time to time to impart wisdom or cause havoc?

I love this couple, Daughter and Son in law. They live 3 hours from us so they are travelers and family that impart wisdom.

Are you the Guest that is on best behavior, helps out, and brings joy to those you interact with or want to be waited on hand and foot?

Are you Family, who is there through the good times and the bad. You can be counted on, willing to help, guide and pray with your family members or are you the long gone, no where to be found member?

Yes That’s me with my cooking vest on. I love cooking.

I love to ask these kinds of questions. In my travels as a trucker, I have had the opportunity to meet and greet a large number of people. Listening to their stories has been life-changing, as I internalize what is the true meaning of life. The more I invest in people, the greater the reward. My heart is filled with compassion, grace, forgiveness, love, respect, honor. I have met families that are always together, enjoying life together. They laugh, cry, love, and share all they have with each other.

I have also met families, who are not close. They argue and fight. Cuss each other, and sometimes violent acts break out. I cry when I meet these people. I can relate, As my family was not close growing up. There was violence from time to time. I have had to really work on not being that family member with my family now. I want to love and respect them. My life really changed when I give my life to GOD. Over the years, God has shown me, talked with me through people and His word, how to relate to people. I want to be a lover of people.

Regardless of how we remember our childhood, we have a choice of how we’ll remember our adulthood. Better yet, since we are creating our adulthood as we go, we can make it so that we will not be ashamed of anything we’ve said or done. Think about it; the past cannot tell us what we’re capable of because what we’re capable of is yet to be seen. What we’re capable of is our capacity to grow. So when I ask you, what are you capable of, and you look to your past, you’ve completely limited your growth capacity, your capability of your future.

My prayer for those reading this: May you give your life to God if you have never done so. May you grow toward being a positive model for others to see. Remember you can choose whatever you want, so choose wisely. I love you, I believe in you. Your time is now. Please don’t waste it.
