To Thine Own Self Be True

Are you pulling inspiration from your true self, or are you chasing the idea of somebody else? In a group of pre-middle to early high school students, I was impressed to hear their dreams. Future scientists, artists, law enforcers, & animal lovers were all in the house. As usual, there were also a large number of dreamers looking to be athletes. I just can't help but to wonder if these NFL, MLB & NBA dreamers are expressing true heart level dreams. In fact it really makes me wonder if many of us are truly in touch with what makes us tick. Satisfaction does not come from chasing money. We cannot be fulfilled by doing what somebody else has projected upon us. We will be disappointed if we are trying to follow a path that will impress our friends. Knowing what we are truly passionate about, matching that with our skills, and putting in hard work is a sure fire formula for a life that pops. It's not too late. Follow your heart and use your skills. Work it out!
