So many roads. So many detours. So many choices. So many mistakes. – Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker is more than just a beautiful award winning actress. She is a devoted and loving wife, mother and a true humanitarian.
Often times when we think of famous people, we have this picture in our minds that because they’re rich and famous, and live a lifestyle that most of us can only dream of, their lives must be perfect. But many times they are not.
Most famous people are very much like you and me. They were raised in middle class homes, went to similar public schools, struggled through those uncomfortable and embarrassing times in junior and senior high school, went off to college and then pursued their careers. What makes them different from you and me is that they were blessed with a tremendous talent, and they were able to capitalize and build a career on that talent. But they had, and from what I’m told by people who know these people, still have their fears, doubts, uncertainties and insecurities.
Sarah Jessica Parker wasn’t always famous. She had to work hard, work smart and continuously believe in herself even during her darkest hours. Just like you she traveled many roads, took numerous detours, made many choices (some good, some bad), and by her own admission, made many mistakes.
Your life in many ways will parallel Ms. Parker on your path to Greatness. You’ll have ups and downs, good days and bad days. But remember this; you are never alone. God goes where you go and asks only that you always live in the moment and make your choices wisely.
To your Greatness,
Michael
The only people that have perfect lives are ones you don’t know well enough. We all have our challenges and fears. How we respond to them is what makes the difference.
