Shoved to Them
I’m sitting in Starbucks drinking my coffee and listening to the people in the chairs behind me discuss locations and costuming for a vampire/zombie flick they are shooting. They’re not the kind of people I meet in the everyday business of my life, and yet they are completely fascinating to me. It’s not the subject matter of their movie that I love, it’s their passion and enthusiasm for what they are doing. They are in love with this project and you can hear it in their voices.
This is what I want for my children. When people ask me what I want them to be when they grow up, I say enthusiastic. I don’t care what the job is. I’ve never been concerned with what title will be on their business cards. I don’t even worry about whether or not they will have business cards. I want them to have passion and fire.
That’s my dream for them. I want them to find something in their lives that jump starts their imaginations and fills them with excitement. I want them to wake up to days full of possibilities and fall into bed at night excited for the morning to come.
