How do I relax?

Now, that depends on which version you ask…

If I’ve been parenting all day. Then, after I put the kids down for the night. I will go into my room and stand there in peace of silence. Once I’m down decompressing, I will head to my office and check to make sure I completed all of my task for the day. Once I completely done with that, I take a final walk around the house. To make sure the doors and windows are locked. Then, I will pick up the toys that are scattered all over the place. Finally, I run a load in the dishwasher and then head to my room to lay down for the night.

If I have free time to myself, then I’m out playing softball to keep myself active and loose. When I’m out on the field its not about winning or losing. Its about letting loose and not worrying about being a parent. I can just be another man that’s out there trying to have fun with no responsibilities other than getting a hit!

Am I holding a grudge?

No, life is way to short to hold a grudge about something or someone that doesn’t matter to me.

When I was younger, I use to hold grudges against the people who use to make fun of my blindness and as I got older I realized how pointless that was. What a waste of time to sit there and hold angry towards people that don’t matter and doesn’t need to be apart of my life!

I made a rule in my life, if the person has any negative energy towards me, they will be removed from my life! It didn’t matter how long I knew them or how important they may have seem to me at the time. If they received enjoyment from making fun of me then, they couldn’t be trusted. I would remove them from my life and never have contact with them ever again!

It’s never to late to take back your life! You have full control over your life and your daily mindset! Wake up everyday looking to better yourself!

Here’s a list of the places I have traveled!

Now, we’re currently living in Japan!

What does my ideal home look like?

My ideal home is built away from other humans. The only people I want near me are my family! Not to far away from the nearest town but far away where my family and I have peace and quiet.

For the longest time, I wanted to own at least 40 acres. I would grow crops to help my family survive. I would go out and hunt or fish for meats, so my family and I could stock up on meats that should last us through the winters. With some of the area on the land, I could build something to keep the kids entertained.

Owning land is the mission I set out for and I will complete this mission!

What brings a tear of JOY to my eye?

Watching my kids do anything from building something from their imagination with legos! Watching them read books or solve math problems! Watching them draw something and get excited about it! Watching the JOY on their faces because they accomplished something they set out to do!

Being a father is by far the most amazing thing, I have every achieved in my life! I will never understand how a so called man can make a child and then abandon them. Those types of man will never ever be a man in my book, and if it was up to me, I would wipe them from the face of the planet. They don’t deserve to share the same oxygen and resources of this beautiful planet!

Why do I blog?

The reason why I blog is because I hoping to connect with different people throughout the world! I can use those connections to help start a positive movement that is needed today in the world!

What was the last thing I searched for online? Why were I looking for it?

Advertisements

My accounting firm is the last thing I searched online, hence me writing this blog, lmao!

Other than that, the last thing I searched was a continue education course for my tax license. Every year, I’m required to complete a 18 – hour course to show my knowledge is up-to-date in the tax law.

A few moments before I started searching for a courses, I was researching ways to market more clients into my accounting firm! The most important thing I’ve learned is that you have to have faith and patience to succeed in life! I will continue to do the work that is needed to grow in the accounting industry and then I will let GOD handle every thing else that is out of my control!

Where did my name come from?

Well I was born in the late 80s, and once I was pushed out and cleaned up. My mother name me Rashad. I was born blind in my right eye. I never really got a full explanation of the reason why I was born blind. I know I was supposed to be a twin but my other twin died while we were inside my mother’s belly. I always wondered if I was responsible for the death of my twin but I guess we will never know.

Being born blind meant, my right eye never developed into a normal looking eye. So every time I came in contact with a new person, the first thing they would notice is my birth affect. People can be really cruel to people who are different than them. I was called a beast, monster, a weirdo, and different ever since I was a baby. When you call a child something over and over again, that child will grow up to become what you call it because a child’s brain is still developing. I was an emotionally weak child, I didn’t become stronger until the summer after 8th grade year because my dad taught me that confidence is everything and I shouldn’t care what other people thought of me. So I took that as go out and get what I want and don’t care about anyone else in the process.

I lived the next 20 years by that model, I did learn to grow a little and love a few people along the way. But, you needed to show me you were loyal to me before I showed any type of love towards you.

Everything changed once I had my first kid, I knew the way I was living wasn’t the best version of myself. I knew this wasn’t the reason GOD gave me life. I started a new beginning in my life and that’s when I started going by RJ. This is where I started my JOURNEY back to the promise land! What I learned along the way is that I am one of GOD’s favorite sons. I am one of the many CHOOSEN ONES that live on this planet! WE ARE RISING UP AND WE ARE READY TO MAKE THIS PLANET GODLY AGAIN!
