It's Showtime Folks!

Every person's journey of life, whether it be professional or personal will culminate at a certain point. Though one doesn't know where his or her journey will end, but in a way, a person's journey never really ends. For it has just begun and those moments in a person's life can be considered events. Events in which everything he or she has worked hard for in the past number of years will come to fruition. An event in which one will consider themselves standing on their own proverbial stage.

As I said before, every ending has another beginning. One such event is when a person graduates from high school to college. If you think about it, each one of us had to prove ourselves and find out who we are. In a way we had to perform in front of our own personal and professional critics in which they will either give us good or bad reviews. As the saying goes, the show must go on and we oftentimes have to ignore the critics and give a performance of a lifetime that hopefully will get a standing ovation in the end.

Another event in a person's life is marriage or getting married. For it's every guy's defining moment where the butterflies in the stomach start to stir. In a way, time will stand still as the question he asks will hopefully have the answer he wants. In any case, once the bonds of matrimony are said, both husband and wife will continue to perform for each other. Working hard and giving their all in marriage. Hopefully, in this particular case, both won't end up having any encore performances if you know what I mean.

The biggest event in two people's lives is when one's child or children are born. For it can be a momentous occasion as a man gets to perform two roles, a father and a husband. It's scary fro any guy to know that life that he helped create is now being held in one's own arms. It can be somewhat compared to getting stage fright as one knows that a specific event, such as the birth of a child, is close at hand. It's just a matter of breathing slow deep breaths and hopefully he won't pass out in the end.

Professionally speaking, an event such as getting that dream job one has been waiting for will become or already has become a reality. For each one of us is climbing our own personal Mt. Everest, in which we hold on to the proverbial lifeline. In retrospect, our whole life is considered center stage. Though marriage isn't written in my program yet, an event somewhat similar is. When I do finally get called up to the big leagues so to speak, I will simply say this with a smile on my face, "It's showtime folks!”
