I am always amazed when I talk to young people about their plan for life. They usually have some grandiose fantasy in the recesses of their subconscious. Young and old alike always want something, My daughter asked me a couple of questions years ago, and I found them to be so profound that I have used them in my journey as a mentor and motivational speaker.* If you could do any job in the world and get paid for it, what would it be? * Then I ask, *What would you do for free?
Well, what was your answer? Not as easy to answer as you would think. Most people really don't know what they want, they just want. The problem is if you don't know what it is, how do you know it's not right in front of you? As I continue the discussion with the young minds, I get so excited when I see the light come on, and they enter into the realm of possibility.
Poppa Wash, out.
Hello Poppa Wash,
ReplyDeleteGreat words of insight. I too find that young people often aspire to be great and to do great things in life but are not willing to do what it necessary to get there. We are three and four generations deep of young people that have a sense of entitlement, but nothing to show for it. I'm glad there are mentors like you who care enough about the youth of our world to do something about it. One youth at a time. Thank you and I will be looking forward to reading your upcoming posts.
Lemora, Thank you for the kind words, and encouragement.
