Half a Legacy

My daughter is an avid VH1 watcher. We have watched a lot of
the Newlyweds- the show where Jessica Simpson first uttered
the now infamous question- “is it chicken or is it tuna?”

We’ve also followed Ashley Simpson and her drive to success.

There is also another series- Driven.

Have you noticed how many younger performers are becoming
successful in droves? They want it- BAD. They work like crazy.
They live it. Usher was a little kid when he said he would be
famous. He pursued that dream relentlessly until it came to
pass.

These kids are not only doing recordings, but they are appearing
in movies, starting their own clothing lines, and …. Just raking in
the cash.

What is happening here?

My own theory on the subject, is while somewhere, deep in our
heart- we believe it is possible to achieve anything you set your
mind to. But as we get older, that dream dims. We still believe it-
but somehow just don’t have the drive to achieve it.

But, we have learned to not discourage our kid’s dreams. Let
them dream big dreams. Encourage them to try. Believe in
them and their potential. Even if we can’t seem to muster it
for ourselves.

Reminds me of the old saying- those who can’t do teach.

But it’s not too late for you to achieve something wonderful. It
may be unlikely that you’ll become a brain surgeon, but there
are hundreds of things that you can still accomplish. You just
have to want to bad enough.

It's great that we are allowing our kids to pursue their big
dreams in a way that our parents couldn't. But that's only
half a legacy. Show them what you’re made of. You CAN
do it!

You deserve your dreams too.
