Hi everyone,
Here is to life and the wonderful dreams that you can dream, and that you can help your kids to dream.
Did you already achieve all of your goals that you set when you were a child?
Do you help your kids to set goals so that they can eventually skip the learning curve of "what is a goal?" and "how do I set goals?" and "how can I go about achieving them?" which for me was a revelation when I understood that and I was in my twenties already!
I was in trouble when I was a small kid and dreamed about becoming a black Jazz vocalist. Back then I was about 5 or 6 and didn't quite understand much about genetics, nor did I know Michael Jackson, since I would have just swapped skin color with him. When I found out that I wouldn't be able to change anything about my skin color, my goal died along with that revelation and I started singing opera, which never quite had the same effect on my mind.
When I was perhaps 10, I understood that it's ok to be a choir singer. By the age of 25, I had no more aspirations of being on stage, which had been fun for as long as I did get lessons, which was about 4 years, and during that time I developed a lyrical mezzo-soprano.
Now, why am I writing about this?
Well, there are some childhood dreams that I still would like to achieve. Singing Jazz is now perhaps more important than changing the color of my skin. These goals I set for myself now, I plan to develop with time. My voice needs some training again but I suppose that there is some dormant potential that can be kissed awake.
OK, someone else had childhood dreams and before he died he held a last lecture.

And if you can spare a moment, just write back to me and I would love to hear if his story touched you...it sure did touch me.
Check your pulse if it didn't.
I want to thank you in this way from the bottom of my heart that you contribute to the fun factor in my life as today is my personal gratitude day for you, my friends on Jasonsnetwork.com.
