The operative word is “my”. When youth say they want what I have or they want to be like me when they grow up. I always say, you don’t know my story. You are just looking at one chapter of my book. I’m a work in progress. You have no clue of what I go through on a daily basis and what I had to go through to get where I am today. Believe you me, there was/is and will be many bumps in the road I’m traveling. You have your own bumps in the road to deal with, I know you don’t want to deal with mine.
God has equipped each and every one of us with special talents and gifts. He uniquely designed each and every one of us and set a plan for our lives. Therefore, operate in God’s plan for your life, not his plan for mine. There is a possibility that you could miss out on yours, while trying to walk in my shoes. You never know what God has planned for your life if you don’t walk in your own shoes. Each generation is supposed to be better than the previous. Aim to accomplish more than what I have. Be who God has called YOU to be.
I try to teach and emulate characteristics I believe leads to success and instill those same characteristics in the youth I work with. Instilling in them, they don’t have to become what I am. They can become whatever they want to become if they utilize the life skills given to them.
