To party or not to party?

That is the question. Yesterday was Friday. I'm a college student taking 6 classes and working 20-25 hours a week. A good friend of mine has an open house, his grandma is gone and nobody is home. He's my friend that smokes and drinks and a lot of my other friends do as well. I decided to go to the gym right after work, maybe if I was still up for it then I'd go and say "hi" to some old friends.

I got back from the gym around 10:45 PM and decided to go to the party. I got there and EVERYBODY noticed. There were about 15 people there and the party COMPLETELY stopped when I walked in the door. That seems to happen quite often when I go to parties. People notice as I walk in the door (I'm 5'9 185-190 in pretty good shape too haha), but everybody stopped and greeted me. It was very nice, haven't seen a lot of these people for months. They all know me as the "motivated guy". It's nice but kind of weird to think about how much of a 180 turn my life has made over the last couple years.

I went from smoking weed every day and drinking on the weekends and overweight to where I'm at now. Sober as a bird. Everybody was intoxicated in some way, but it was nice seeing people. I was able to talk to a few of them about college and how they were doing. I was able to give my friends 30 year old brother some advice, he's kind of stuck in life. Smoking pot all the time and not taking advantage of his situation.

Another thing I wanted to mention. I achieved a 2 1/2 year goal of obtaining employee of the month for the month of March with my employer. I've always wanted this award and finally got it, there are about 300 people at my work. My manager stopped me yesterday and said "Hey Josh, I said some good things about you at the director meeting yesterday." I questioned his words about me and he said, " I said that I wouldn't be surprised if Josh is a successful self-made millionaire. He's so motivated and works so hard and I really appreciate it and admire him." This is coming from one of the 8 directors (my boss) to all of the others as well as some employee that go to the meeting.

I keep hearing more and more that I WILL be successful. I never had the goal of becoming a millionaire...he just gave me the idea that I can be a millionaire. So, I WILL be a millionaire. I've set a new long-term goal of mine and that is to become a millionaire by the time I'm 35.

Hope this inspires somebody on the day, been spending a lot of the little time I have on this so...please feel free to give your input or ask a question or share this with others. I do this purely as a hobby and part of my life, I don't make any money and I don't want to be paid to do this. My pay is the reaction from my viewers, have a great day everyone. Carpe Diem!
