As I write this I am sitting in Cozumel Mexico. I am here for a day while performing on Carnival Crusie Lines ship The Inspiration.
Besides the five differnt shows I am doing I have been asked to give a talk to some new crew members. These young people have come on board the Inspration to learn to work on the Entertainment staff.
As part of their duities they will have to MC shows and introduce guest entertainers such as myself. And that is what I am speaking to them about.
In meeting and talking to these enthusiastic "kids" it made me think. When we are young, there seem so many more opportunities in front of us. There seemed to be no end to all the new beginning; new realationships, new jobs, new homes.
Think back to the fear and excitement we felt when the world was ours for the taking.
If we wanted to start over in a some new completely opposite direction, we did!
Then the unthinkable happened, we got older.
Changing direction dosn't seem so easy any more. New beginnings don't seem to present themselves to us any more.
Well, I am here to tell you that ain't so.
Those new beginings are there, most of us just stop looking for them.
We get comfortable. We seattle into our lives. We no longer think shaking things up is a good idea.
But by thinking and acting in this way we can miss out on so much happiness.
No matter your actual age, stop thinking and acting old.
What oppertuunities would your young self see before you?
Take a class. Isn't there somthing you always wanted to do, but growing up got in the way?
Did you ever learn to paint? Didn't you want to learn to play an instrument or sky dive?
Open those young eyes of yours and see what the world has to offer. The opportunities are still there, see them, seize them
Stay tuned and i will tell you all about our new adventure.
