Very seldom do we see the footprints made by the positive impacts that our youth inflict upon society. It seems today that the world has become too busy and too fascinated with the life style of the rich and famous, and too busy contemplating how to reach that status quo of fame and fortune. Almost everyone I meet and every child I see is a mirror image of the celebrities that have become un-official gurus to the way of life.
The media and the powerful influences behind the scenes have been successful in highlighting (in their opinion) what will result in one’s ultimate happiness. Whether it be cars or a clothing line we are manipulated into believing these objects ensure a better quality of life. Success, in any amount, is an equation of hard work driven by passion. It is probable we will not all be millionaire ball players or billionaire platinum recording artists. But we do have the ability and freedom of choice to feed the hunger that drives us and satisfy’s our needs beyond the financial front. Create your own standards and you will find the carpet is still red on the other side.
"I am not interested in money, I just want to be wonderful." Marilyn Monroe
