Has anyone ever tried to derail your best effort to follow your vision?  Negative input causes a person to second guess themselves.

Did you ever second guess yourself when others ridiculed your attempts to follow your vision?  That vision might have been a childhood dream, a career aspiration or a futuristic idea.

It was during a long distance trek, filled with much dashboard time that caused me to reflect on such an event.

The below video tells the two-minute story.

While driving across the USA I encounter the nicest people.  It might be at a small town gas station, at a rest stop or a little luncheonette.  All it takes is a smile and a kind word to start up a conversation anywhere.

My advice to everyone is turn off the news media, turn off your smartphone and pay more attention to the people in your midst.

Our country is wonderful and I am proud to be an American.  God bless the USA.
