What DID you want to be when you grew up?
Yep, you read it right. It says what did you want to be? I went through a period where I wanted to be an undertaker. Then I had wanted to be a photographer for erotic magazines. Hey, no judging; I was young and hormonal. What did you want to be?
Back then we dreamed of being astronauts, firefighters, teachers, and doctors. We would go out in the neighborhood and play astronaut, firefighter, teacher or doctor? I even played undertaker. My friend Billy liked playing dead. Go figure.
But I wonder what kids play today? Are they playing Social Media Expert? Or Brand Manager? Do you think kids of today play Chief Executive Officer, Relocation Specialist, or Enterprise Communications Director?
I don’t know what they’re playing but I’m sure of one thing……………the majority of you reading this never imagined you’d be doing the work you’re doing today. How does one get from Undertaker to Motivational Speaker?
Did you ever stop and think when your dream ended, got railroaded or just pushed aside for something better? What was that turning point? That revelation? Or did we just outgrow it? I remember a while back speaking to a Funeral Director’s Association and thinking to myself……I was supposed to be hanging with you. I guess I just got to hang with them in a different position. At least it was an upright one.
But I am curious…….what DID you want to be when you grew up. Feel free to click here and leave your answer download Last Exit to Brooklyn Broken buy
