Bennie Green, Jr.

With the advent of the internet, advances in technology that led to a vast majority of the population owning computers, and the widespread popularity of social media amongst people has decreased the physical distance that once limited daily socialization.  This has caused information to move around so quickly and freely for all to assimilate.  You no longer had to physically “be” somewhere in order to enjoy the experience.  Within moments, you can take a virtual tour of any place that piques your interest.  You can reconnect with someone you have not spoken to in years or meet someone brand new.  It is only human nature to share as well as feel connected to something or someone outside of our normal circle.

Approximately three years ago, I decided to do something completely out of the norm.  I decided I would go, by myself, to a Monday evening Happy Hour at a local restaurant to check out an event I had been hearing about on a social media site.  This was a first for me…  EVER.  Once there I ran in to a sister whose daughter at one time went to school with my children.  Behind that event, she and I connected on Facebook.  Indirectly through her, I learned about the Dallas Reallionaires thus informally introduced to Bennie Green, Jr. 

Although I had never met him personally, I had checked out his personal page and decided to become friends.  Quietly I observed.  He seemed interesting.  Like me, at times, he could go against the grain, but who does not go against the grain at some time or another?

Fast-forwarding to Saturday, March 31, I was attempting to “begin” my March feature that did not include a “featured” person at all.  As I was driving through Downtown Dallas, out the corner of my eye I saw a face that looked very familiar to me.  You know when you see someone and you just cannot place them in your mind.  I dismissed the thought and kept on with my travels.  A few hours later, I decided to get brunch at a cool little spot in the Bishop Arts District and continue working on the feature that was causing me so much grief.  A few drinks and even fewer words later, it became apparent to me it was not going to happen so I closed up shop, paid my tab and exited stage left. 

At that moment, I saw that familiar face once again.  Then it hit me who he was…  Bennie Green.  Now mind you, I never met this brother before, however, we had been Facebook friends for quite some time.  With the brush of the wind and glare from the sun, I realized this was a sign… he would be my next feature… and the rest, as they say, is history…

Family Man

Who are you?

“Who am I?  Wow.  I forgot you were going to ask me that question.  I guess first off I am the son of Bennie Green, Sr. and Claudia Faye Green.  I am a husband.  I’m a brother.  I’m a cousin.  I’m a friend.  I’m a lover.  I’m pretty much everything I’ve experienced from my five senses in my thirty-eight years.  I’m a little bit of all of that.  I’m an entrepreneur.  I’m a preacher.  I’m a teacher.  I’m a student.  I’m a bunch of stuff.”

So what would you say if you had to wrap that up in to one… to say you are one more so than the other, what would that be?

“I guess ultimately just a man of God.  I think out of all the desires I have, out of all the things I want to do, most of it is geared toward people.  Most of it is geared to introducing people to another side of life.  From where I come from everything hadn’t been peaches and cream.  At least for the people around me because I’ve been real fortunate coming up as a kid.  My dad and them were hard workers, my mother and father, so they set an example of what it meant to go out and get it and start having things for yourself.  All though my childhood, through my adolescence, my teenage years, all that, I’ve always been fortunate enough to have things.  But in the midst of that I’ve seen so much more than that and so many people not experiencing what I experienced and am experiencing.  That kind of got me passionate about re-gearing people’s thought process and getting them off to different things and different ways of thinking.  That’s really what I’m all about.

I think at the end of the day, with everything I can do… because I have several talents: I’m an athlete, I played ball in high school, college, I had the big dreams of going pro and all of that other stuff.  But at the end of the day, what most people really don’t know about me is that I see myself as some type of Pastor or Evangelist or something.  Because out of all the talents I have, all the things I can offer, I just believe God and he, from what I understood, let us know wasn’t nothing going to last except the stuff that has to do with him.  So everything that I’m doing, I do a lot of things I do for myself and others as well but at the end of the day, with the way I believe, it’s going to have to be about his business because I believe it’s life after this here and I’m trying to live that too.  I’m trying to have it all just through my faith.

Remembering the Word

Ultimately, that’s who I am.  I’m a man of God.  The way things are today, the way society is, you can’t be no bank fisherman now-a-days.  You GOT to go to the deep.  You GOT to use certain bait in order to attract certain people and a lot of times that bait is outside the box of what Old School Christians think.  A lot of what I do may seem contradictive to Christianity but at the end of the day I just believe God knows my heart and the desires I have.  I didn’t create me so the desires I have I know they had to come from somewhere and I just believe that’s my purpose.  That’s who I am.”

What would you say your greatest success is?

“My greatest success…  Right now, I think my greatest success is just my consistency in WHO I am.  By far have I arrived, by far have I reached my goals.  You know, I’ve made some short term goals and all these goals but my plan is so big, I’m still PREPARING to arrive.  So I think my greatest achievement would just be my consistency at being who I am and understanding what it means to have a good name.  I could say my children but I didn’t have all of them at the right time.  You know what I’m saying?  I could say this, that and the other but all that I have done I think more ‘other’ people have received more from me than I feel I have received from myself.”

Driven

Give me an example.

“Well, I don’t make a whole lot of money.  I have big plans and I have devices to do it but I’m not driven by money. I’m more so driven by proving to people I am a helper.  A lot of times I’ll help other people make more money than I will make for myself but I might need it more than them.  If that makes sense.”

It makes perfect sense.  You said you are very consistent and you do have short term/long term goals.  Do you find you work methodically or just do what feels right?

“You know what?  When I get up in the morning a lot of times I already know what I have on my plate.  I do personal injury; this is my meat and potatoes.  Those files, I pretty much know everything going on in those files, a lot of times when I get up that really is my first priority is to make sure ain’t no money on the table in none of them files.  Once I get that business taken care of, I’m more so… my day can be unplanned.  It’s sporadic, it’s spontaneous, it’s really…  I can just jump in my car and drive to the North, South, East, West Dallas and do some filming or interview people.  I’m really in to that now.  I just got this camera so I’m trying to expand my video game, photography and all that other stuff.  I like to go to people while they’re on their job and just try to network. 

Really, what I’m trying to do is build a team right now.  This whole Dallas Reallionaire thing…  I’ll just tell you about that… my concept on that… first of all I’m branding this name.  I see this name being just like the Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Mavericks, Texas Rangers, Dallas Reallionaires, which is everybody else in the city who’s making an effort to do something.  It’s like everybody is trying to do their own thing and it’s hard to find good help when you are around a bunch of go getters.  It’s really hard for a real go getter to help you with something unless you create a system that will allow that to happen.  So that’s what I did. 

Dallas Reallionaire

I created Dallas Reallionaires really as a directory and an umbrella company to support all those under one.  Let’s just say you are a plumber, I’m not a plumber I do Personal Injury, under this particular network – and my slogan is OWN it – if you really out there trying to get it and you trying to spread your hustle or you trying to maximize your potential in getting money.  Now the only way for me to actually help you is to OWN your business and the way I can own your business is by saying and using who I am and what I am, by saying ‘Hey, I’m Bennie Green; I’m a plumber.  I do plumbing.’  You see.  Now so… you do the plumbing.  I don’t plumb but if I’m the face for you when you can’t be over here, now I own you.  So when I call you and say ‘Hey, you got a customer coming’ that’s enough for you to give me a referral.  You don’t do personal injury, I do personal injury but now you do [do] personal injury because you are up under this network.  So not only do you do [this], ‘By the way, if you’ve ever been in a car accident, give me a call.’  They call you ‘Hey Bennie…’  Now I’ve become a general contractor for all of these entrepreneur businesses and that’s how you can help.  That was my goal. 

Of course, it went into non-profit, our network is going to go in these schools and start getting these kids.  It’s a lot of broken homes, there’s a lot of single parent homes, a lot of good, talented kids who can be so much more if they had the resources.  You got a lot of kids that are able to do certain things and they have certain abilities but they don’t have the confidence because of the tennis shoes they got on.  So coming in, identifying who these kids are, identifying the different situations and then actually making a difference spending our money, of course, through the non-profit… we got people that’s going to be dumping this money in.  But to do that and use it for a good cause, I think that will be something good. 

Then that will also build the brand because Dallas Reallionaires is a standard, it’s a lifestyle.  So we are going to be putting Reallionaire jackets on these kids and not only are we going to do it in our neighborhood where we need the financial support and all that, we are going to go over there to the kids that don’t need nothing from us.  But those kids are the ones buying all the rap records and making these rappers rich and that’s their way of identifying with them cause we ain’t buying these records.  You know what I’m saying?  We getting them, burning them and doing different things.  They like us but we don’t know how to deal with when they get with it.

Becoming the bridge

So I’m going to go over there ‘Hey, Johnny did great tonight in the hockey game.  That’s a Dallas Reallionaire.  We want to make sure that he…’  Now they like ‘Whoa!  This guy had a tattoo behind his ear, Black guy and whoopty-whoop but he really supports Johnny!  So now let’s see if I could…’ and just build a relationship.  Ultimately, what I want to do is bring this city together because it’s really a great city.  It’s really so much money in this city but it’s so many different cliques that don’t really have a bridge to one another because of their own ignorance.  So I’m just becoming that bridge.

That’s kind of what that is and what it’s all about.”

How long has Dallas Reallionaires been in existence?

“Dallas Reallionaires has been in existence since ’03.”

And that was your concept?

“That was my concept.  Yup.  It should have been far along than it has but I put a lot of stock in people.  One thing I do know is that I can’t do it by myself and that’s clear but I have cheated myself in wasting time with certain people and learning lessons.  It’s doing what it’s doing now.  The goals that I’m setting… I’m getting closer to them.  The money that I want is starting to come.  It’s a good thing.”

Connecting

How would a person find out about Dallas Reallionaires?

“I started playing on Facebook.  I really got on Facebook messing with women.  You know just messing around, doing this, that and the other.  It got to a point where I really realized what it was and how it can shrink the world for me.  So Facebook is really how I just jumped off everything.  I’ve had several people come to me wanting to build my website and do all this kind of stuff but I really just been at my own pace in things.  I really haven’t took advantage of all those devices other than Facebook. 

I’ve been in this business for 15 years, in the injury business.  My old man actually set this whole thing up, he’s been in the business for the last 50 years and so that’s people around the city… he was one of the first brothers around here driving a Corvette, living good and they been knowing him for his consistency.  That made it a little easier.  I’m pretty popular in the Oak Cliff area, it springs out but through Facebook, through YouTube, the fact that I’m always in your face, the fact that if it’s something hot going on in Dallas you can best believe I’m going to be there.  I’ve learned to not be a sucker and to identify other people that are doing things around the city.  The other people that are doing things around the city I have established relationships with them as well so if you don’t know me through me, you know me through [him].  But of course the websites and all of that is coming.”

You did briefly talk about how you go out and do videos.  Where did that come from?

“Just me wanting to do something with my camera.  Have you seen any of the Wal-Mart videos?”

The Transformer

I have not seen the Wal-Mart but I have seen some of the car videos.

“Okay.  Well… see… just messing with people, identifying different types of people.  Like I went to Wal-Mart over in the hood and everybody knows what’s going on at the Wal-Mart in the hood.  So I’m just messing with people and it will go from that to me going over to Mr. Calvin’s who owns all these chains of Wing-Stop here and I’ll interview him.  Let him tell his process of where he started and how he got to this point to reiterate that entertainment is NOT the only way of life cause our children actually think that.  They forgot about McDonald’s and all that kind of stuff.  Now they want to rap and do everything else. 

Just messing with people, identifying what’s going on and keying in on it.  Even when Don Hill was going through that stuff in Dallas at City Hall, I figured well hell if they were out there interviewing him I might as well go down there too.  So I was down there with the news people.  Just being spontaneous, that kind of stuff.  I took Photojournalism and all that kind of stuff so I just have a knack for that.”

Where do you see that area going?  Are you going to build that brand as well?

“Which brand?  The Dallas Reallionaire?”

Emerald Jade

The films…

“The films?  Emerald Jade TV.  It’s already in the makings, I’m definitely going to build that brand.  I’m putting together a little short film now called ‘Relationship Status’ and it’s basically going to expose the lifestyle involved with Facebook.  The stuff that goes on that people… the fact that you didn’t know that this girl done signed in under someone else’s name to check your Facebook to look at your [profile].  All the stuff that goes on that I know because I’m so thick into it, I’m going to expose that kind of stuff.  So that’s the thing I’m doing with that.”

You said you studied Photojournalism so I take it that is where the interest in photography came from.

“Right.”

What are you doing with it?

“Right now I’m doing weddings; I’m doing Paparazzi style photos where a lot of people hire me to come to their parties and just follow them around and take pictures.  Ummm…  I’m getting paid.  I’m doing all types of photo shoots.  I don’t have a studio but I work out of my partner’s studio – Anthony Bird, he got a studio over there off Camp Wisdom.  When I do the studio stuff, I go to his studio.  But for the most part, it was really a hobby that turned into some money because I really got the camera for selfish reasons to do something I wanted to do with it.  People started seeing what I was doing and they started making request, I just started letting it pay for itself at that point.”

Do you take the photographs of yourself or does someone else take them?

“I take some of my pictures but my partner – Orlando Dunbar; he is on Facebook, that’s one of my main partners.  He takes most of my photos.  I actually trained him how to take photos on me to practice. Everything you see in there that you can obviously tell I didn’t take them, he took them.”

Celebrity

Do you see that going further?

“One thing about it, the camera, as long as I take care of it, it’s going to always work and people are always going to want to take pictures.  I call that Celebritizing.  I’m actually starting a campaign called Celebritizing and what that’s about is… we are so… society is so glamour driven and glitz driven, that’s who we idealize and so what I need us to understand is we need to do ourselves like that.  With Celebritizing, I’m getting ready to make you feel like you feel about these people.  The cool guy, the guy that you’re admiring, that you think is handsome… it’s focusing on you.  You know what I’m saying?  It’s making you feel it’s focusing on you.  That’s going to be my campaign to let people know you are a Celebrity.  I’m going to go around and do a bunch of free photo shoots, just give people back some confidence.  I just feel like even doing something like that it’s going to be impactful to someone’s life.  At the end of the day, I just feel like I’ll get blessed for something like that. 

I think that’s working smart.  You got some people that don’t have that mentality so they get on a job, they got to work they ass off and they hate it but that’s what you signed up for.  And you don’t have no room to bless nobody because you don’t like your job, you just want to get your money, you ain’t paying no tithes.  So guess what?  This is what your ass is going to be doing for the rest of your life.  See what I’m saying?  That’s what I chose NOT to do a long time ago and the fact that I’m kind of different from a lot of people because as much as a lot of people think I have – and I don’t need anything – money has never been my motivation because I’ve always had a little bit more than my peers.  It just seemed that way… that I always had… so that’s not my motivation.  Now with society the way it is again today they rate you by what you drive and this, that and the other, I don’t get into all that.  I enjoy stuff like that but that’s why I drive that Jimmy around and I got cars but that’s what I drive.”

What else should people know about you?

“I’m a family man.  I’m actually separated.  Been married for the last eight years, me and my wife have been separated for about two years.  I really got a great wife, she got to the point where she just needed a break and she is still waiting on me to get all my ducks in a row.  She really gave me a grace period.  I’m a family man, I love my wife, love my three children.  My oldest son is twenty, he’s an artist, he writes music, just came out with a CD.  Super talented dude.”

The Legacy

What’s his name?

“Darion Xavier Green.  He’s on Facebook.  I’ll turn you on to him.  You might know my middle son – Bentley, super talented, he’s eleven.  My daughter is six and she’s the same thing.  She might be the one.  Even though they are advanced in what they do, she changed my whole little world.  I’m crazy about my kids.  I’m passionate about everything I do.  I’ll still fight you.  You know what I’m saying?  I’m 38 but a lot of times I look around at a lot of men and I don’t feel… and I might…  I’m going to go ahead and use the word [mature]…  I’m still young at heart.  I’m still just…  I guess a different kind of dude. 

I’m just trying to make a difference.  I’m passionate about the legacy that I leave.  I see too many people live their lives and not have their significance noticed.  I want to be GREAT… really.  I really do and I always wanted to be great.  I think about all the great names that we have and it’s frustrating for me to always hear great names but they are ‘past’ names.  It’s like ‘Who wants to be a NEW name?  Who wants to be the NEXT great person?’  Then I’m searching for greatness.  I’m searching for greatness but what do I have to do to be great?  Then a little voice says ‘Greater is he that is in me.’  That [he] is the one they see.  Then I say ‘Well, it’s about his business.’  That greatness where I want to be exalted so I can start thanking all these people that’s helped me, he just reminds me that it’s about his business.  If you really want what you want, I got it but you got to get that from me, through me.  So that keeps me humble.”

The Father

You have mentioned about being a parent and a dad.  What do you feel is your greatest achievement with your children?  

“I think the greatest achievement with my children was me being conscious of the first three years of their lives.  I made a commitment, even with my first son as a child… because I wanted to be a dad so bad cause of how my dad did me.  I used to always say ‘I’m going to be just like you.’  He said ‘No, you ain’t going to be like me… ever.’  I’m really not like him because what I learned through him is I can’t give my kids everything.  You know what I’m saying? 

The first three years I made a commitment…  I was going to get up with this child; I was going to change this child and everything.  I don’t know why the first three years but I made that commitment.  That’s the thing I said I was going to do.  For one, I said I was going to name my children.  So I did that.  Then I said for the first three years of their life I was going to be there, period, hands down, no babysitter.  I’m not paying babysitters.  So I did that.  I think that was pretty much just setting the foundation and then not only that ain’t none of them sucked no pacifiers, ain’t none of them been baby talked. 

I introduced them to Christ as soon as they could hear so they all have that foundation.  After three and on they all knew about that.  By the time they was three they knew that.  That was my greatest accomplishment – really training them up.  Like my twenty year old, he got of track but in his ‘off-trackness’ he still knows where his refuge is when it’s bad and he ain’t have nobody else he knows to fall on his face and pray.  After that ain’t nothing else nobody can do no way.  That was my greatest accomplishment with my children.”

It's the genes

Your two boys have both gone in to entertainment.  Do you think they will ever follow in your footsteps?

“Right now they are in their own little way.  I think with three different styles of children… they have me in them as far as their personalities, the fact of how they communicate and how they’re fearless in areas.  They all have a fearlessness in certain areas, I believe they are going to be something.  Follow in my footsteps?  I don’t even know where I’m going.  I’m just trying to follow certain rules that will help benefit the others with me.”

Expand upon that.

“I guess what I mean about that is there is so much stuff I could be doing to get things that are selfish mannered because I make a lot of sacrifices in not having certain things to do what I do.  If I wanted to, I could go out there and do things that would jeopardize those that love me in efforts to try to speed up the process.  I’ve lost a lot in doing what I do as well.  I guess what I mean by that is just…  I have my own way of doing things that kind of don’t make sense to others – like get a job.  I do have a job but in their mind because they are so programmed to have someone who pays them after they do certain work, after a certain amount of time, that’s just how they think.  I get that from people and get that from people I have tried to accommodate – get out of my own element to accommodate people and I tend to have done that more than enough times.  That’s what I mean about falling trying to make other people happy.”

I guess you are at a point now where it is about your happiness.

“It’s really about my happiness – not in a selfish way but I’m a little bit more urgent in my approach to things now because the bill cycle is monthly.  I don’t care what you’re doing, if the bill ain’t getting paid most people say it ain’t nothing being done but that’s not necessarily the truth.”

Grinding

One of the things you have touched upon multiple times but we really have not discussed is the Law Firm.

“Well, the Law Firm is really the foundation of my whole little deal.  Here we do accident and injury.  You get involved in an automobile accident, slip and fall, anything that has to do with personal injury, that’s what we do.  I have a presence on Facebook and I just like to market… that’s the biggest thing I market to people because that’s my meat and potatoes.  It does good because I’ve been doing it for the last fifteen years and we eat good. 

I work it at a pace…  I could be making so much more money doing this but because I’m really not passionate about this.  I’m more passionate about my hobbies but my hobbies don’t pay me like this so I don’t mind balancing it out and being able to still do what I love to do.  As far as the money is concerned, this is the foundation right here.  This is what pays for everything.  This is what pays for everything when I ain’t got a dollar and right now the business… we’ve been doing at least a million five a year, and every year for the last fifteen or twenty years but that’s feeding twenty or thirty folks.  So it averages out but it’s the meat and potatoes.

In this business, every client… as long as its cars out there… it’s going to be accidents so not only is it that but I always offer my clients a business opportunity.  For one, if you send me somebody I’m going to give you a referral fee but for two, if you want to learn the business I’ll bring you in… whereas the percentage was going to be 85/15.  I’ll pay you 15% for the referral and I get 85% for the business, it will switch for me to 15% bringing you in to the business.  Now you didn’t have to go to any schooling, you got trained by me and you are operating under an Attorney and everything, so it’s a business opportunity as well.  You can leave here with some names on some cards and say ‘Hey, I do personal injury.  If you are ever in an accident, give me a call.’  Just like that.

I’m the liaison between the client and the adjusters.  The person that hit my client, I’m getting ready to get their insurance information and I’m about to go after their insurance.  Put my client in the doctor and once my client gets out of the doctor’s office, I put a demand package together, send it to the insurance company and we negotiate the pain and suffering, bodily injury and all of that kind of stuff.”



How would someone who needs your services contact you?

“Word of mouth, through me passing out business cards, through my YouTube – I’m running a commercial on there.  Also, I am a DJ, I’m on a radio station with www.theafterparty.com.  We advertise on there.  I’m utilizing everything I can – Facebook, Twitter, everything.”

NightCappin

The radio station is a new thing.  Talk about that.

“The radio station is pretty new, it’s something I really been wanting to do and I met a young lady, Lesa Sweeney.  She was doing internet radio at the Fishbowl and I kind of came in there and saw what she was doing.  I wanted to do it but I wasn’t ready because in my mind I wanted to go straight to Skip Cheatham and them, I had been trying to get with them but was not going to school or any of that stuff.  Met Lesa, she introduced me to Montanna Mitchem which she owns theafterparty.com.  I met with her, I guess this was about two months ago because I’ve only been doing this for two months.  Got with her, got on theafterparty.com and it’s been cool ever since.  I’m doing sales.  I’m getting paid for advertising and I’m inspiring, I’m informing, I’m educating them and I’m letting them know who I am through that pipeline as well.”

How often does the show broadcast?

“Every Tuesday night from 8 – 10 PM.  The show is called NightCappin with Bennie Green and the Dallas Reallionaires, it’s every Tuesday night and they re-air the shows once a week.  That’s what that’s all about.”

Do you have a main focus on the show?

“A lot of times I’m talking… if I’m not talking business… because we talk a lot about business, if I’m not talking about that, I’m talking about relationships.  We are talking about the differences, the likeness; you know just the whole love, life, relationship type things.  I’m going to touch on the realness, the real rawness of it too.”

Observing

Is there anything else you would like to add?  Anything else you would like the people to know?

“More so they just need to know I’m about unity and I spend a lot of time watching people.  I know how hard it is to find good help so I just want to present myself as good.  A lot of people don’t identify with my style, I’m a shopaholic, I love clothes, I love cars, I love ladies.  After my daughter and just maturing, I have a respect for ladies and I have a certain softness for ladies but I’m hard on women too.  I’m kind of hard on the ladies.  When I say that… it’s what I hate to see them doing.  I hate to see women not clean.  I hate to see women with dirty bathrooms.  I hate to see women hollering at their children in Wal-Mart.  I hate to see them over exposing themselves so their [private parts] is their best assets.  There are certain things I do not like to see women do that I can kind of be tough on them about that but it’s all out of love because everything I’m feeling about that is also what I don’t want to see my daughter do.  That’s what that is.”

What type of feedback have you gotten from the show?

“I’ve gotten all ranges.  I’ve gotten some that came back and been like ‘Bennie, I would like to explain to you what I see.’  Really, I haven’t gotten any negative feedback and I think it’s the way I present it but women gave me their emotional state on it, just how they feel.  I’ve heard all kind of things. 

I just want to bring some awareness and get into my element… because I want to be wealthy… so I’m trying to position myself to get me some money and a whole bunch of it.  The thing about it is we have to have it, the more you want to do, the more you have to have.  That’s just the way it is.  I don’t have a problem with that but that’s not what motivates me though.”

Reflecting

What is your motivation?

“My motivation is just making sure I leave here with a good name and just making sure I leave a legacy that my children, my peers, my friends and enemies can stand on.  After this thing…  I’m done because I’m trying to get up there with him, I’m trying to get up there with God.  I believe that’s what that is because if the words say what it say… then I’m good.  I’m good.”

Sometimes going against the grain, stepping outside of the norm leads you to interesting places as well as meeting interesting people.  Trying to confine yourself into complacency limits not only your actions but also your thoughts.  There comes a time in everyone’s life when you must stretch beyond your self-imposed limitations.  To discover what is out there first hand and not just through quiet observation. 

Bennie Green is not your ordinary person.  Although he says that he is unsure of where he is going, it appears that his success is there waiting for him.  The path he travels on is between him and his Creator.  He is traveling on it at this very moment.  Eventually, he will make it to where he is going with or without direction.  Never fear the unknown for it, at times, provides a very interesting journey.  One in which we all must travel.  Learning and discovering oneself as we take on that challenge.  Now that is something for you to ponder while beginning your travels off the grid...
