Let me begin by introducing you to myself, and why I wish to write these blogs on motivation, compassion, and passion. My name is Shane Jeremy James, and I have always been business-headed. From the ages of 16, I was reading business articles, and learning the art of business. I even started selling hockey cards - not a business I know, but obviously demonstrating sheer spirit and entrepreneurship!
Growing up, I had two passions. My first passion was hockey. I loved hockey, and although I loved the sport and was pretty good at it (if I do say so myself), I knew I would never be able to make a career out of it. My dream of joining the NHL faded, and I knew it wasn't meant to be. Instead, I focused all my time and energy on my second passion - the passion for business. Not only was business something I wished to pursue, but also knew that I wanted to make something of myself - to be successful, to be known, to make a difference!

New city, new country, same me. Main objective in life: get somewhere. Whether it was up in some fancy skyscraper or six feet under. But it was hard to when I felt like I was trapped in limbo. Even though moving to America was a massive change in my life, it didn't fuel me with hope for the future or aspirations to 'live my dreams'. I wanted to find myself, even though a catatonic chunk had been ripped from me.
That was until I found them, or more specifically, him.

Hockey, money, fame. That's it, that's all I was working towards. But I had enough money to keep me happy for the rest of my life and I didn't want to be famous, necessarily. I had my goals planned out in life, but I felt like I was missing something. Then she came in, the Wild Card that knocked my fortress down and ripped it apart like she owned it.
Maybe because she did.
