I don't know how much time I have left, it does not feel like a lot. But it feels like I have a lot I have to do. And I know there is a lot I want to do.
I've gotten to the point that "Doing the Right Damn Thing" is defining who I am, what I do and what I say, how I act, and how I approach the world daily and treat my fellow human being.
To have that view today is hard for me to comprehend--knowing the person I used to be, the criminal I have been, the man only worried about himself and no one else. For me to have been able to move past that and now be a person who Does that Right Damn Thing regardless of negative consequences? That has only been achieved by the Grace of God.
And I say that as someone who has problems with Faith.
Do the Right Damn Thing. Regardless of Consequence. And yes, there have been consequences over the years for speaking out. But every one of those consequences I have viewed as positive. And I have let every one of those consequences strengthen my resolve to continue on that course.
Do the Right Damn Thing. That doesn't mean I've always gotten everything right. I've not. But it does mean that if the idea of doing the "Right Thing" is always the goal, one cannot veer too far from the path.
I worry daily. I'm often depressed. There is so much I feel I have to do, and there is so much I want to do. But it just doesnt seem there is a whole lot of time left.
I worry about living a full, good, loving life. And I'm scared I wont be able to achieve that.
