Who am I? What am I doing?

   Who am I? What am I doing? Two very powerful questions I ask myself daily. I ring these questions help ground me, bring me back to reality, and also, puts my days journey in perspective.  

   Who am I? Well, I'm will Duncan. I'm a father, I'm a brother, a martial artist. I'm a cook, taxi service,  consoler of hurt feelings, and a first aided to scraps cuts and gouges! I also dabble in bike mechanics and love to emerge myself in the music I enjoy. Like right now! To my close kids and family, I'm Big Bad Dad, the Suplex Machine! Im also known as Mr.Thursday Night, Will F'n Duncan, the whole f'n show.

    What am I doing? Right now I'm blogging. But, I've been known to do other stuff as well. For example, I get into and go crazy for live wrestling, especially when MRB is in the ring. That guy is amazing. Finally got to shake his hand and thank him personally for his time and efforts. I've also done a lot of other cool stuff too. I've built cranes, put them up, taken them done, put buildings and crusher houses up. I've built one of a kind technologies at power plants! That's was a sweet job. I've been in martial arts tournaments, I've been a spectator, a fan and a winner and a looser. I've drank enough booze for you, me, my kids, your kids, your kids kids and half the population in Alberta! I've taught kids how to ride bikes, and throw a two-seam fast ball. I've showed children how to love, when all they have seen is anger. Shown kindness is not a weakness, it's the most powerful tool we, as human beings, have in dealing with others. So many other items too, that you may not think about.

   Even with all that being said, these questions, who am I and what am I doing, are truly most useful when asked in the moment. These questions are structured the way the are for a reason. Do not re-write them. The above paragraphs should have said, Who was I and what did I do!! Yes, our past experiences build who we are today, but, that is not all of it. These questions are built to be answered in this moment in time, not in views of yesterday. Sure, we all have three pages of stuff we can fill in in the answers to these questions. But, in the moment, what are the answers? That's what is important. You see, being at home, there are times when things are too quiet and I fall victim to my mind. So, I stop and ask, the above questions. At that particular moment in time, if I can focus, for a few seconds, the true answer will come out. And laser focus is needed some times to regroup yourself. But, the desired outcome will always surface, if you are honest. I think, for myself, it's important to get to the most simple answer. Most days, the answer is easier to see than others, but, it's there. Usually it's ego that clouds our vision.

   When I get up in the morning, I say thanks to the big guy upstairs that I woke up sober and guilt free, then I ask, what am I to do today. Immediately I have five thousand things come to mind. So I ask differently, How can I serve, my family and my fellows, with the best of all my abilities? Then the simple answer comes. Usually, I hear something like, just be cool today. Enjoy company of others, learn from your mistakes, help your neighbor and talk to somebody. And you know, my days just go smooth, if I remember My tasks at hand.

    So, who am I and what am I doing? Well, it's depends on that moment in time. More importantly, it depends on your motives and intentions at that point in the day. If you are honest, the honest answer comes out, and you can build from there. Even if you're being selfish and bull-headed, honesty, will prevail, and the truth will be told, one way or another. But, if one wants to be honest with themselfs,  one must learn to look at themselves, without any bias towards yourself. Only then will one see the whole truth.

In any event, it is Mother's Day, and I should get back to doing, whatever I need to do, to make my wife happy in this day. So today, I will be a faithful servant of my higher power, and a loving servant to my family. Today, I will fill the boots and roles I am asked to fill. Today, I will be Will F'n Duncan to the best and utmost of my abilities. And that's the bottom line cause I just says so.
