Most people get a project started and then just quit. Kinda like the bridge in the picture. Me? Well not so much. I keep at it until it proves it will not work or I finish. I have to admit this program has done wonders for me thru what most people would call a very trying time. I remember one thing that Zig Ziglar use to say, its your aptitude, not just your attitude that always determines your ultimate altitude! The question I had for that was, how do you keep a good aptitude, not just attitude? I found the solutions I have been looking for. I may not have soared like an eagle starting the MKE last year but it brought light to my darkness. I didn’t get depressed or discouraged. I got ready to do this all over again but with a knowledge that I didn’t have the first time around. It was kinda scary at first but the people in this group stuck to their guns and kept me going and helped me to feel welcomed! Its not just the world you live in, but who you let in your world that can make a difference! I have had friends but I have lost a lot of them along the way. My best friend passed away in 2003 about 6 months after my Grandmother passed. I was about to load up my truck and head to the airport when I got the message from his sister. I already had my Alaska trip planned so I could not back out. I went ahead and went and when I got back I headed to see his family. Not too long after that his mother passed and another year and a half his Dad passed. I still keep up with his Nieces. I think the one thing I liked most about the guy was the fact that he lived Kindness. It did not matter the person, he always reached out to help people. I remember coming home one night after a long day at work, and my little christmas tree was sitting in the middle of the room on top of a box. This guy bought me a Tool set so I could work on my cars. That was a huge gift for me and one with kindness written all over it. What a feeling.
So this time on the Class, I am focused with a direction. I have so much loaded up in my brain I hope I don’t tip over! My DMP, Definite Major purpose is going beyond anything I could have thought last year. I mean face it, I was locked into a job that I was making good money with but they had been trying to get rid of the Desktop support for 10 years. How exciting is it to go to work knowing one day you would be going to work just to go home. Funny thing is I was home when they let me go, thanks to Covid. I was looking for something to help me move a new direction. What I failed to see is my attitude was keeping me from seeing the big picture! Kinda like being locked in a box with very little room to breath. This Covid stay at home was a refresh I needed. It was time to think and time to reflect. Well I am done reflecting and ready to move forward at full speed.
The first week in the MKE can be a bit overwhelming to some but this time around for me it is like exciting beyond belief. I have listened and watched, jumped in here and there but my mind is so much more open for ideas and education in a way very few understand! This whole program steps beyond the boundaries of most programs as it is people helping people. They have a master mind in just about every area of this program and it can really help you get past yourself. I have always been about improving and making faster and better. Over the past 2 and a half years I have been watching the advancement of computers and technology. Sad part is everybody is trying to do their own thing and its left everybody with wanting to use what they know best. We have so many apps, and programs and operating systems and platforms. First there was My Space. I thought it was cool but then all of a sudden you could get onto a new platform called Facebook. It was an improvement. Yes myspace still exists but they are a music platform now. Then you had Youtube. That has been around for so long its hard accept that there are a ton more apps out there. I think the biggest thing that has bothered me with technology is how fast they change things. Not that Change is a good or bad thing, but people just can’t keep up. I use to know a ton about computer and the internet and games and programing, but there are so many different Programing languages, different Operating systems, server software and the list just goes on that there is no way I have even kept up near as much as I thought I had. Its time to setup some parameters so people can have something that doesn’t change every 2 seconds. Something that they can learn and keep learning on just to make it faster and better for them. Everytime my I-phone gets updated I can’t find something or can’t make something work. How useful is that? Sorry I just noticed I am getting off base here. So back to the MKE. If you want people to support you and help you this will be one of the best programs for you. All you have to do is get involved and take the course!
Its not about you or me, but leaving a legacy for our families, giving them a gift that will go on for a very long time well beyond our life times! life is too short to take the long road, now its time to take the fastest lane in one of the fasted cars! If you have any doubt that this program is for you, well you might want to just go find something easier, because lets face it, you can’t make it in this course!
Here is to a better life!

Wow what a fantastic blog ending and I couldn’t agree more! For me personally sharing my MKE experience with my family is one of the most exciting benefits of this course.
You have articulated much of what I feel this time around, my second as well!
Welcome back to the MKE, Andy! Onward and Upward – here we GO!!
Keep up the good work, my friend. You got this!! ♥
Bibi, you have no idea how instrumental you were for me the first time around. It was such a great experience to just hear your excitement. You are one incredible person! Ready for the changes that go beyond what I did the first go around! See you in there at some point and keep up the good work. You are making a difference!
Being in IT I can relate to how the constant changes are mind-blowing. And with the MKE glad to discover I wasn’t the only one who felt a different sense of focus going into year 2. Jumping deeper into the unknown is so exciting!
I am so with you. Just doing the exercises and listening to all of the audios, reading everyday is so awesome. Its really working me over this time and I am discovering new things for the first time, like I was not even here last year. Thanks for the Comment and hope to see you at some point. We may be starting an IT dept just for the MKE. Maybe we should hook up to mastermind!
Aloha, Andrew! Your new blog rover friend, Loren, here. Get past yourself, by getting into yourself. Love it! Looking forward to more, as an experienced traveler, such that you are, again begins to take off to discover he can more easily soar! 🙂
Aloha Loren. Thanks and yes this time around I actually am getting past myself. As I do the tasks everyday I am starting to experience so much more that the first go around. The real me is coming out! Thanks for the Comment!
