Finding Bryan

Man’s best friend, is an amazing gift. You look at a bundle of fur and wet noses. You find one you like, and it seems to like you back. You bring it home to your family home. Chase after it with training pads till it gets the point. This ball of fur the whole time is secretly working its way into your heart and soul. We have one of these creatures. His name is Snickers. We got this half Pyrenees, quarter Anatolian Shepard, and quarter Komondor, 12 years ago. At that time he had a black mask around his eyes and muzzle. Literally a fur ball with huge feet. Now though the years have come and gone Snickers has been there, by our side. He has fallen out of pick up trucks while going down the road way and shared his hurt leg with me. Snickers is family. Snickers is loved, and I learned a lot from this old dog that at the end had grey around his muzzel and still turoghly enjoyed having his chest sctached even when his back legs stopped working. There are lessons learned from a dog. Lessons that a family learns from a dog. Lessons a man learns from his dog. Lessons a boy growing up to be a man learns from his dog. I had heard when I was younger that God never meant for dogs to live longer than their naked pack members. Growing up, I would of disagreed. Now looking back on almost 40 years I see the truth in that statement, God made these wonderful loyal animals to be small brilliant sparks of joy. They are put on Earth to help us as head strong humans learn that there is more to life. We over look the simple pleasures, just because we have these overly complex minds. We think we are better. WE as Humans believe that dogs are our pets. How far from the truth could we be?  What lessons do we learn from having a dog? 1) Everybody is trainable. You may think you are the master of dog but shortly you will realise that you and the dog communicate in special ways and the dog also trains you. Who answers the dog to a scratch or a bark wanting in? The same as pooches know that they are not suppose to be on the bed. 2) When you are a part of a pack you matter. We all crave to be in a group, pack, tribe, or what ever you are wanting to call it. We all want to belong. No one want to be kept out in the cold snow or rain. We want to be worm and dry with the other folks. As dogs we just want to belong. 3) The Now is all that truly matters. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow will never arrive. Enjoy the life and time that is “The Now”. Somebody may do you wrong but afterwards it is all good. 4) Stop a little longer and smell the news. You just might find something cool and interesting you wouldn’t of seen or smelt before. 5) Dogs instinctually know where the most comfortable spot in the house is, and sometimes it is not on the couch. Sometimes not even in the house! Watch the dog and find out why they lay where they do. Yo might find it is a good place for a nap. 6) Mud is so nice! 7) Answer the call of nature or dogs will plant a reminder right where you step. There are always warnings that something unpleasant can be averted. Just take the time to endure a little cold and you wont have to endure something gross. 8) Greet those returning with unbridled excitement! Act like they have been gone for years. Whether it is returning to get the mail or returning from a tour of duty.  //www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxOiQ6-xy9U 9) Offer up the belly to a good rubbing.

Core Values... As I mentioned in episode 4 Core values are your guides to what your goals and mission statement are. When you have your Core Values in place, you let people know where you stand on a particular issue. These people will know whether you will budge on that issue, or problem. You can and will be viewed as a push over if you do not have a good anchoring to your core values. These values hold you firmly in your character. I look through a list of core values, I found online, and made a list of the values I wanted. Right off the bat the ones I knew I had or wanted were not listed. Yet I believe they are the more important.

Wow I am not really sure what this episode is going to turn out to be like. The day of this recording was a very weird and strange day for me. I was in a weird place emotionally, this episode is actually part 1 of a two parter. I relistened to the episode and found it to be a little off center, and believe that it is just the effect of the changes to Sunray has made, and how it effects what I believe to be my own core values, or at least my childhood memories.    But ending Why Does Sunray High School need so many Gyms?

 Goals they are as important in growing your life as sunshine is to growing plants. If you want to reach a goal, you must “see the reaching” in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal.  -Zig Ziglar “You need a plan to build a house.

People need to have direction to go on a when they are on a quest or a mission. To know the direction you are wanting to go is a great help and will allow for a greater success of accomplishing any goals you are wanting to meet. I wrote a post about how to make a mission statement with using a  Mission statement generator. This came to help out greatly in that I was able to find out how a mission statement should look like.   The questions that the generator asked were not easy. They actually made you think about how and what direction you wanted the mission statement to go. With the results you were able to decided then edit the mission statement to work in the genereal direction and specifically where in life you want to head. After looking through and answering the questions I worked on my Statement for a little over a week and was able to form My Mission Statement and I have started reading it everyday and learning to apply it to heart. So I read this everyday at the very least. MY MISSION STATEMENT My Life’s journey is a constant search for God, Self, and LifeI will engage the drive to improve myself and my family, to be better than the day before.Through loyalty and dedication, I will live as Bryan Goodwin.I will lead my family, into a better life.I will bring God Back into my life through true humility and prayer.My family depends on me, so I must be there for my family.I will seek my higher purpose and listen for clues from that small still voice within.Though life may be hard, I cannot forget that life is fun.

Hello and welcome to the First Finding Bryan Podcast. So Who am I? I am just a guy who is looking for myself. This Episode is just a peak at who Bryan is through the little amount of self discovery there is. But I Throw out some of the Phylosay as to who Iam, What I think I believe and talk about who I was, before I became me. I have not always had a bit of Loathing for my hometown of Sunray, TX but it did develop after I had lived there again for 2 years and realized that my childhood happiness was hindsight with rose colored glasses on. I wanted to see where I lost my drive for life because somewhere in the time span of the last 10 years I lost myself. So it is time for me to so on the quest of finding that person who was thirsty for life and had the fun and wonderment. I have to change myself back because I am not liking the grump meister that I currently am playing.
