Do you have to allow this mess to impact your decisions in life, --your goals, what you want to do, who you want to be and where you want to go?
Maybe you're in a rut, constantly beaten down by circumstances and trapped where you are but you find yourself constantly wanting something better.
We all need mentoring and guidance throughout life and it doesn't matter your age.
When you're just starting out and are searching for answers and a good mentor shows up, he or she is worth more than silver and gold.
Consider yourself very lucky.
The Boys and Girls Club of America is a good place for those who have been hung out to dry, abandoned, confused and abused.
Many young people are being left behind in today's society.
They have so many things pulling at them, screaming for attention that they are drowning out other, worthwhile considerations.
Some of these are:
Peer pressure
Threats and Bullying
Broken homes
Drugs, alcohol
Violence
Gangs
We have lost and continue to lose whole generations of young people because someone with an axe to grind or just wants to use others for his/her own personal gain get to them first and dig their filthy claws into them all the while sullying those who try to step in to help.
Another avenue for those who yearn for something to better themselves is the military.
It seems that those things honorable today--being a member of the military, believing in something higher than yourself, honesty, humility and service to others is not welcome.
The left wing and their accomplice the media would rather demonize thus dissuading or make fun of those who are trying to better themselves rather than praising and helping, rallying to their side providing encouragement and assistance.
We listen to snarky comments from leaders and other special interest groups who are more interested in furthering the hapless plight of many instead of lending a helping hand.
Instead, they continue to watch those who are paddling hard and slowly drowning because no one has thrown them a safety rope.
I ask, where are you, today?
Do you have a goal, a plan for your life or are you one of many who just don't have a clue, don't even know where to start?
There are answers all around you if you'd just be able to shake off that damn noise that keeps interfering with your making a decision.
Maybe its your friends who care about nothing as they are perfectly happy with where they are now--going nowhere.
But you're the one with the nagging questions that just won't leave you alone.
You keep asking, "There has to be something better than what I'm doing now.--just doing nothing day in and day out".
"Where am I going?" "There's got to be more than the existence I have now--I wan't more out of life."
Who doesn't?
Another option for meaningful change is the military.
Signing up can be daunting (something like saying a nervous, "I do" at your marriage ceremony) but believe it or not, the military can become your home (that 'something' you were yearning for and a that sense of belonging you were striving for).
It also introduces you to others who will turn out to be good friends who won't leave you hanging.
The military teaches you skills, rules of conduct, and how to be a team player.
It teaches you responsibility, and brings out the best in you.
What more could you ask for?
What's stopping you?--Go for it!
You have the whole country's support and respect.
More importantly, you will gain the courage and respect you were earnestly seeking for yourself.
