Remember Who You Wanted To Be

I saw the above on a bumper sticker the other day.  It really got to me.  At first I was "YES! Great Sticker!"  Then I started really thinking about it.

Remember Who You Wanted To Be

I wanted to be a rock star and live in NYC and have lots of fans and money and do whatever I want.  Clearly, that didn't happen but there is a deeper meaning to Who I Wanted To Be...

I wanted to have fun and be independent.  I wanted to have a few people who understood me and loved me.  I wanted to be able to explore my world on my terms. I wanted to keep learning.  I wanted to listen to great music and read great books.  I wanted to feel loved by God and humbled by the beauty that surrounds me.

Guess what?  I am grateful to know that I am living that life.  No, I am not a rock star but that became ok a long time ago...and I can always sing and perform and the bonus is I don't have to pay the bills for that laser stage show.

Hopefully, anyone who reads this will remember being 12 or 15 or 20 and remember their dream of what they wanted to be when they grew up.  Some of you even got your wish and you are exactly there.  But what did you want to feel when you grew up?  Can you say you made it?
