When you hear all these stories at once, you wonder how one individual could spend that much time with other people &#8212; in addition to a full time job, various personal interests, and logging 50,000 miles on his car in a year!<\/p>\n<p>Rob was indeed full of pure energy. As a result, he was an outlet to most people who crossed his path &#8212; they could come to him, plug in, and get happiness. But was it a gift &#8212; or a choice? Certainly Rob was blessed with an outgoing personality. \u00a0But he also did things in his life that assured he&#8217;d have plenty of time and energy to fill himself up and fuel his own interests. He chose to eat well, exercise, sleep, drink water, say no to things he didn&#8217;t want to do, step away from unnecessary drama and distractions, and make room only for the things that lit him up. I believe that because he tended to himself FIRST &#8212; he had plenty of time\/attention\/love\/encouragement\/and insane goofiness to share with everyone he met.
