What’s
holding you back? Here’s a laundry list of possibilities:
- Poor health
- Physical limitations
- Restrictions of society
- Lack of education
- Dysfunctional childhood
- Lack of funds
- No “tribe” to support you
- Multiples rejections on the way to your dream
Sorry, none of these are acceptable
long-term excuses. They
just aren’t. I could name multiple ultra-successful people who overcame at least one of the challenges listed. You could, too. In fact, it’s safe to say that
the most productive people are those who have been forced to push the hardest against comfort and conformity.
GENTRI’s “Dare”
This trio of
astoundingly talented young singers has an inspirational body of work. However,
my favorite remains the video for “Dare”. It is a tribute to 8-year-old dancer,
Alissa Sizemore. This remarkable
young lady was hit by a UPS truck. She had to have part of her right leg
amputated. Yet, that didn’t stop her from following her passion. Not this
determined young lady!!!
