I should have asked permission but instead I'll beg for forgiveness.<BR/><BR/>Actually, when I moved to Florida there were 3 Mikes in our group of friends so I became Mike the Pharmacist. That was later shortened to Pharmacist. I was the most popular guy at parties when people would introduce me as The Pharmacist. Then someone would ask why I was called The Pharmacist. When I said because I am one everyone would walk away. Evidently, they thought I was a dealer and a lot cooler than a real pharmacist.Mike Craycrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815405803509366404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817205780911729159.post-79684957468945502542008-09-09T15:42:00.000-04:002008-09-09T15:42:00.000-04:00Success is not a way station; life is meant to be ...Success is not a way station; life is meant to be lived each second of every minute, not swoop it all up in a single word or thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817205780911729159.post-21672490320584206832008-09-07T19:43:00.000-04:002008-09-07T19:43:00.000-04:00"I joked at a friend house the other night that, t..."I joked at a friend house the other night that, two years ago I had a six figure income and two testicles and that now I have $1 and 1 testicle." <BR/><BR/>Powerful words, powerful words.

Its also not a function of how much money YOU have or whether you are married with 2.5 kids or sponging off parents going nowhere. <BR/>Its not getting what you want, its wanting what you get. Logically you realize you should be happy with what you got, but deep inside, you aren't. Logically your brother shouldn't be happy with what he has done, but he is.He has the life of Riley, but its hardly balanced because he gets away with it at the expense of his family. Thats hardly fair nor "passionate" its selfish.<BR/>I am sure he has something to teach you, but learn the right lession. Life is to be lived, yes and perhaps he is a decent example of that. Do more living, but do it balanced. Have you ever asked yourself "what do I do that brings me the most joy?" I have my "thing" and when pursue that activity, I am at peace. I also prioritize my life so I can pursue that activity. Work sucks most of the time, but it pays for my leisure. Thats the balance for Pharmacy Chick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817205780911729159.post-34953958434125295942008-09-06T12:41:00.000-04:002008-09-06T12:41:00.000-04:00I don't think you can judge a good life my money o...I don't think you can judge a good life my money or adventure standards. Three years ago I was faced with finding a lump. I assumed I would die and spent a long time looking back on my life and waited 8 months before seeing a doctor. One thing I did find was that I have an awesome life and it is not because of me but because of my friends. Obviously, I lived through it and I see things a lot differently now. My advice is if you want something then take a chance. I am taking that chance now. I joked at a friend house the other night that, two years ago I had a six figure income and two testicles and that now I have $1 and 1 testicle. Everyone laughed but I don't think they realized that I really only had $1. I am taking a chance, starting a new business and also a non-profit organization. I've had plenty of extra money in the past but have been unhappy now with nothing to lose I am happy.Mike Craycrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815405803509366404noreply@blogger.com
