Before we LAUNCH, I wanted to share just what you can accomplish in 50 years. Five short decades, 18,250 days, 438,000 hours…This should be an inspiration to just about EVERYONE!
DECADE ONE (1-10)
- Hone your public performance skills by the age of 6, by burping so loud your first grade assembly is halted- Thereby requiring a public apology to every class in the school. (PREPARATION FOR A STRONG CAREER- CAN’T START TOO EARLY)
- Achieve notoriety as a trail blazer who likes to have fun, by … getting kicked out of Girl Scout camp… It was only a fire cracker she said…. Long story- You have to message me if you want to details! (LEARNING TO HAVE FUN AND PUSH THE ENVELOPE IS CERTAINLY A LIFE SKILL WE ALL NEED- What FUN IS IT WITHOUT TAKING A RISK OR TWO…)
DECADE TWO (11-20)
- Become a certified awesome dancer (CREATING EXERCISE HABITS…)
- Develop relationships with life long friends who will stand by your side every day from this day forward…(THAT IS HUGE). (Think slumber parties, college all nighters, stirring up just a bit of trouble))
DECADE THREE. (21-30)
- Showcase your LIFE NINJA skills by dealing with some major LIFE CHAOS.. (WE ALL HAVE IT… pick a category…. BUT HANDLING IT LIKE A NINJA- WELL, THAT IS A SKILL WE ALL NEED FOR SURE… PS. NINJAS CRY but NINJAS NEVER DROWN IN THEIR TEARS)
- DEVELOP AN AMAZING START TO A GREAT CAREER…
DECADE FOUR (31-40)
- JUMP into a HUGE ROLE as the BEST AUNT EVER!
- GO DEEP in YOUR RELATIONSHIP with GOD, FAMILY and FRIENDS… SECURE THE BONDS and REALIZE THAT LIFE IS REALLY ALL ABOUT THOSE YOU LOVE.
DECADE FIVE (41-50)
- Meet the LOVE of YOUR LIFE…EMBRACE TRUE JOY!
- Become a person of great GENEROSITY in EVERY CATEGORY, and as a result GROWING IN A GREAT WAY!
As you can see, you can accomplish a lot. God uses every step in every phase to get you to the DESTINATION of a GREAT LIFE! I didn’t put the details in here, but my darling sister has certainly had a life riddled with as many challenges as I’ve seen anyone face. In spite of it all, she has overcome and remained with that sweet smile on her face, learning, giving and SHINING more deeply!
What an inspiration! Happy 50th sweet sister! The boys and I love and adore you.
