Cussin'

I was talking with some friends the other day about cussin'... Now I'm not one to say that I've never cussed. I wish that I could say that, but we all know that it is not the truth.

However, I can say that I have not cussed since High school, and I am very pleased with that. As a young man I was on the farm, or working horses, or whatever, lots of my friends cussed, but I had been taught that it was not becoming of a young man.

One day I was listening to a gentleman talk. I can't recall who, and I dont even remember what the talk was about; However, I do recall something he said. It is something that changed my life.

He quoted Benjamin Franklin stating "Cursing is the attempts of a feeble mind to express itself forcefully."

I determined then and there that I did not want to be a feeble minded individual. At that moment I decided to OWN MY LIFE.

I changed something that I was accustomed to doing. As you come along on this journey with me, I hope that you will look for (And share) things that you are doing to OWN YOUR LIFE. If is becoming the superstar that you were born to be.

Shoot Dangit, you were born for greatness, now get out there and be great, and Own your Life!
