You can be what you want to be!!

Are you aware that only you are capable of carrying out the purposes for which you were sent on this planet? Do you understand that when your father made you, he did it with great care and the ideal plan for your physical characteristics, personality, and skills?

Do you recall your childhood aspirations to be the next world champion figure skater, the next President, or a high school teacher in your community? Do you still recall how thrilling it was to daydream about your future partner or home? Do you still recall the excitement you had? When did you get rid of that? We used to get thrilled about things, but when did it stop?

When we were young, our parents did all possible to support us and give us the belief that everything was possible. We can pursue careers as scientists, doctors, astronauts, or NBA players. They might find the next great dance move, the cure for cancer, or the ruins of an old civilisation. We give them words of life and truth. We support them. We challenge and uplift them.

When did we stop having hope for our own futures? We let it pass away when?

For many of us, our once all-consuming goals have been supplanted by the overwhelming disappointments of life. The zeal and fervor that God instilled in us to start a Bible study, create our own company, or become beauticians—things we thought we were meant to do—have been extinguished. It simmers away in the back of our brains. Can we even say it? No. We dare not even consider what God placed there. What if we are merely positioning ourselves for future failure?

Parents, pay close attention. Realizing your own dreams is the finest thing you can do to support your child in realizing theirs. Demonstrate to your youngster your success despite all circumstances. Teach them to never give up. You went after. You succeeded. You kept going. You pushed forward and in.
