I chose this quote because of the last half about "coalitions". I am reconnecting with old friends and finding new friends. I don't think of my life as "winning or losing" as much as I believe it to be "enduring and enjoying" the adventure with my little guy. However I am realizing that without a coalition (friends) the adventure would be much more lonely and difficult.
It is very important to start building your coalition. Make good solid friendships and reconnect with the ones that you let go for whatever reason. I have made some really really really REALLY bad decisions in the past. I vow to my son that I will never make another decision as blindly as I did one year ago today.

| OUCH! |
I do however remind myself that I made that decision out of love and faith in another person and that person failed us. I did not fail us. Having 100% faith in another person isn't a bad thing, just make sure that person is worthy of it. Make better decisions by listening to those out of your situation. Tell them the facts and then sit back and listen. Listening is the key! If I would have listened better I think I would have made better decisions. But the past is the past. I am learning from it and moving forward a little more brave and smarter than I was yesterday.
I will untie my arm from the post, and catch the next train,
but always keep the post in the back of my mind
to make sure I never make the same mistakes again!
