My Words Exactly

Ever heard of the game of telephone? The person at one end of the line whispers something to the person next to them and so on down the line until the last person says what they were told and then everyone has a good laugh because it is always so different than what the first person said. There are several reasons for this; we hear what we want to hear, we filter what we hear through our own experiences and beliefs and we don’t always practice good listening skills.

So this kind of goes with that statement ‘You can be anything you want to be.’ Most people don’t really believe that statement from the get go and an example of that would be telling that to a little girl and having her respond ‘I can’t be the Pope’ which would make me say look at the statement again; you can be anything you want to be. Again, I say what is said is not always what is heard. But I digress; It’s the burning desire that makes the seemingly impossible possible. We only pursue with conviction and persistence what we truly want so if we try for something, don’t get it and then give up, we tend to think its impossible instead of thinking ‘I didn’t want it as much as I thought I did.’

So where am I going with all this? Get our your goal list. These days many people call this a bucket list; how many things have you checked off on your goal list? If it is not several at least, then it is time to ask yourself; what is it that I really want? And then find your answers and then make it happen because no one else will.
