What Did YOU Want to be\/do When You Grew Up?<\/p>\n
Anyone in the United States that gets a glimpse of a television or hears snippets of radio or cable audio casts knows that Beyonce is a talented singer.\u00a0 The more exposure you have to various media, the more likely it is that you can name some of her songs or even sing a lyric or two.<\/p>\n
But DID YOU KNOW that Beyonce discovered her passion for singing and performing when she was a child?\u00a0 She was a thoughtful and earnest child, shy and somewhat reticent.\u00a0 Those who loved her saw she was most happy when she was performing.\u00a0 She chose that road and her closest family members cleared the way for her.\u00a0 A turning point in Beyonce\u2019s road occurred when she was nine.\u00a0 Read this clearly:\u00a0 nine.\u00a0 She auditioned and won a spot with a group and her future route was mapped, if not solidified.<\/p>\n
Would you know who Beyonce was today if she had had parents who regularly instructed her to be practical and choose a career that pays well as a \u201cfall back\u201d for potential failure?\u00a0 Had she continually been quoted statistics regarding the likelihood of becoming a singing super star \u2013 would she be where she is today?\u00a0 We will never know the answer to that for Beyonce.\u00a0 Ask the question of yourself.\u00a0 What dreams did you once hold that you were \u201ctalked out of\u201d by practical considerations and statistics? Remember that for every rule there is also at least one exception.\u00a0 Perhaps you are that exception.\u00a0 And if you aren\u2019t the exception, you can be exceptional in the pursuit of the dream of your heart.<\/p>\n
Let me ask you again, \u201cWhen you were a child what did you want to be when you grew up?\u201d\u00a0 If you turned on a different road is there any way to recover a small piece of that dream in your days today?\u00a0\u00a0 I wonder.\u00a0 Don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
