My O, my Circle of Friends. What does one look for in life? A Circle of Friends to assist, to be there for them, to have them be there for you. The exchange of energy. The circle goes on in life. Here we are again! We've come complete Circle. So? Maybe I need to share about my friends, maybe who they are that shaped me in life to become the man I'm not. Ok, the man I am becoming. Ok, the man I am.
Who am I and where I am I going?
I'll get to me later on, quite a bit later on. First, it is about my friends. The Circle, the beginning of the Circle. Maybe the middle, how about 9/11/01.
Remember September, I'm on my way to downtown San Francisco to see Robin Williams. The news comes on the radio, listening to the unthinkable. Missing my meeting due to Government buildings being closed, I went to a friends house. My closest friend, who gave me a Bible for my birthday. September 11th. My father used to be my best friend, he was born December 7th. 7 & 11, two dates that keep showing up in my life. So I stay in the middle, I'll stay with 9.
Nine of my Friends. Don't do business with Friends. Really? Who are your friends when you lose everything? Who are your friends in a divorce? Who are your friends in school? Who are your friends who are in business? I think I only want to do business with friends. My nine man team. My grandpa looked the the nine man team on the baseball field, the Pro Team. The team that was, in his words "working". But they made it fun. Grandpa Baker "If We Make It Fun We Get It Done."
If it is to be, it is up to me. Or is it up to We? Is any man an island? Or does he need a group of friends in his corner? His Circle, love and I had a wit to win so we drew a circle and drew them in (that is what mom's always said).
Wake up, do what you love and love what you do. Respect your friends, they respect you and they communicate the real deal. They don't hold anything back and they tell it like it is. A "Foundation" that is not built on cards. A house of Cards or a house of Steel. I'll stay with the strong house.
My 26 Story House! I have 26 Stories. Should I tell them? Maybe I'll start with a story about a friend.
