As a wise and wonderful, forward thinking optimist was always
known to say, “Anybody can do anything as long as it is not
forever!!!!”
Who was this famous person?
Well, my mother was famous to me.
Not to mention indispensable!
Yes, my mother was that one person in my life who supported me
through all the challenges, the many setbacks, always helping me to
stay focused on my goals, no matter how untraditional.
In an era where women were supposed to graduate school, get married
and start having kids, my dream of excelling in the business world
instead, working my way up to become a leader in a male-dominated
profession, seemed absolutely crazy to everyone I told…except my
mother.
Even if I didn’t much like what I was going through, my mother’s
belief in me kept me going through it until I made it to the other
side.
We all need that light of inspiration in our lives to provide the
impetus for us to make it one more day, one more week, one more
year until there it is! Your dream, you’ve made it happen…
If not one person, maybe a team of people or perhaps just you,
energizing yourself with motivational movies or books that
supercharge you up to higher levels of success.
I will always be grateful for those lessons in perseverance,
determination, and self-acceptance. Thanks, Mom!
