How Am I Doing?

I’m unbelievably, unapologetically fantastic!

Because fifty years ago, I was an unwanted baby—passed between unwed mothers outside a U.S. military base in Korea.

Forty years ago, I was a bad kid no school wanted. Eight different schools kicked me out.

Thirty years ago, I was broke and married—peddling vacuums door-to-door while my wife changed diapers at a daycare.

Twenty years ago, I quit my job. Enlisted in the Army. A year later, I was in Baghdad—sure my number was up.

Ten years ago, I was unemployed, broke again, and out of options. So I bought a company—begged, borrowed, and stole every penny I could and put everything on the line.

And today?

Today, I wake up with a full heart, a full house, and full control over how I spend my time.

So when someone asks, “How are you doing?” — I don’t hesitate.

I’m fan-fucking-tastic.
