There is something oddly baffling when the advice you give your children ends up on your situation doorstep. I found myself, giving myself this bread-and-butter life-philosophy staple this week. And just like my kids, I did not like being on the receiving end of one of my lectures, even though I needed it:
You might not be the smartest
or have the best skill set
but you never give up
the journey
the quest
the heart’s desire
the dream
because sometimes the smartest or those with the most talent
do not have the gumption,
the determination
the stick-to-it-ive-ness
innate hope
to never give up
to develop those skill sets
to learn the knowledge needed for the dream
and those are the ones,
the ones who never give up
who achieve
their heart’s desires
