Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they’re looking for ideas. –Paula Poundstone
The best part is, kids aren’t afraid to dream big. They want to be an astronaut, the President of the United States, a famous movie star or basketball player.
One of my favorite questions is: “What would you do if you knew you could not fail?” Try to answer that question now with no boundaries, no holding back, no thinking about whether some other person would approve.
Too often we barely get a dream in our head before the reasons why we will fail drown out all hope of succeeding. You don’t have to have a really big dream, either. Sometimes the modest dreams become the steps toward something we could never have imagined!
Take time to dream a bit today. Think of a first step that would bring you closer to that dream becoming a reality. Is it taking a French class, making a phone call, volunteering in a similar field?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
