myself, after all for everyones advice, help, consideration, direction, examples, and everything else over the years, it comes down to how and what I choose to adopt, adapt, and execute. I don’t think I could pick out any single person whose influence has been so much greater than everyone else’s. my wife perhaps, or a handful of my dearest friends. Often it’s not a single person that can be attributed to anything but rather several who add, modify, and reinforce an idea. Whatever inspired the idea of enjoying the journey would have to be up there, but I could never say who or where that idea first came about. And so would each person who helped me along the way because though the changes they affected may have been small or even unnoticed, it’s hard to say I’d be at the same place without them.
