The great Denzel Washington believes people should do what they are most passionate about. If a person fails at something that he loves to do, then he would keep trying until he gets it right. How a person reacts after a failure is what determines that person’s future. 100% truth right there. Keep swinging for the fences my friends. Follow your heart ❤️ – Stoneface (2025) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5561507/
“With age comes wisdom and humility and a deeper appreciation for those from your life who are no longer here, who inspired you to keep moving forward on your personal life’s journey toward ultimate righteousness.” Photos by Dave Langford.

The 1st 50-year chapter of my journey was special, as the 2nd 50-year chapter begins, with age comes wisdom & my appreciation for humility. ❤️ D.O.B. 10/30/1974 ☘️💚 https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
“As a member of Generation X (age 44–59, born 1965–1980) and about 5 months away from turning 50 on October 30th (but still of course 49 years old now), I often find myself saying, “Where did the time go, and I can’t believe we lost another good one.” Every time I turn around, it seems like I’m being told, “Hey, did you hear who passed away?” or “Can you believe what happened to him/her?” I think now more than ever, along with all my Generation X brothers and sisters, my own mortality is really starting to hit me. Time waits for no man, and we are all vulnerable. I aim to be a good person, a good father, to forgive and forget, and to not hold grudges. Life is short; I treat people the way they want to be treated, and I’m grateful for what I have without dwelling on the things I don’t. I was never blessed with anything special or God-given, so I always simply competed against myself. Sure, many were better and achieved far greater things than I have or did in every chapter of my life’s journey, but that’s OK. If I know I did the very best I could no matter what the circumstances, then that’s all that ever mattered to me, as right out of the starting gate in life, I wasn’t really supposed to achieve anything super spectacular. If you’re reading this and we have ever crossed paths along life’s journey with positive memories, I thank you. As time marches on, many things fade, but memories last forever.” Happy Memorial Day (2024) & God Bless, – John “Stoneface” Quinlan *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/

Occasionally, your life’s path might seem a bit hopeless, and then suddenly God gifts you a little help. His way of saying, “Never give up. You got this.” – John “Stoneface” Quinlan *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
