Dear Friends,
There have been times throughout my life that I’ve seen or heard the stories of the high profile, hugely successful, and often adored news makers in our society and thought, “I could sure get use to his life.” I bet you’ve done the same thing. The stories of the rags-to-riches, every day man or woman who
works their fingers to the bone, makes it big, and now lives an MTV Cribs kind of life fascinates us, makes us crave the experience of living the “good life,” and can also lead us to conclude that our lives are insignificant and boring.
If only I was famous. If only I could dance like Usher or Michael Jackson. If only I could hit a golf ball like Tiger Woods, play basketball like LeBron James, or hit a tennis ball like Serena Williams. If only I could sing like Josh Groban, Carrie Underwood, Beyonce, Chris Tomlin, or Lady Gaga (surely I didn’t just type that?) Invent something cool like Steve Jobs. Make a zillion dollars like Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. If only I had it made then I could be happy!! Have you ever had that thought? You might not admit it, but I know you have. (more…)
