Here's a short, but true story:
When I turned 18, I was ejected from the house. On the way out the door, my mother handed me a 3 page letter. The bottom line of that letter was "You can do & be ANYTHING you want. Never forget that, and you will succeed in anything you do."
Well, naturally, I thought it was all bullshit, and I was just pissed cuz I was facing the fact that I had to figure out WHAT the fuck I was gonna do. The actual message of it didn't sink into my head for several years. But when it did.....
I've had more different professions than most people will ever know. And I have been successful at most of them. Not all... but most. I attribute this to a combination of the truthfulness of those words and a prolonged study of various philosophy, and of course, wide practical experience in numerous industries.
I am STILL on the road to finding out if what she said was true. While I know it in my head and in my heart, I still want a hardcopy. Life, for me, gets sweeter and sweeter each & every waking day. And it is NOT based on money. Not many people find that place in life.... I consider myself extremely fortunate. I have chosen wise paths.
You truly can, DO... and BE...
anything you want...
if you
really want it bad enough.
