Do you wish upon a star?
As far back as I am able to remember, I believe the lyric, “When you wish upon a star” came from a Disney song. It was very applicable to today’s news and translates well to both entrepreneurs and job-seekers. It calls into question your power of belief and today’s story is very inspiring.
The Lucille Packard Make A Wish Foundation enables children with life threatening disease to make their fondest wish come true. Today we learned of a 7 year old girl, Kassaundra, fought death twice and now lives with a pacemaker in her chest. Kassaundra embraces the spirit of life. Ignoring her less than perfect health, she plays softball and swims. But her passion is singing and dancing – she wants to be a movie star!
The Foundation granted Kassaundra’s request. She was treated to a fancy dress of her choice, a new hair-do, a limousine ride and escort by Police as photographers and crowds followed and adored her. Kassaundra was then led onto stage where she performed to cheering fans – truly her wish come true!
I found two pertinent messages in this story for everything you undertake in life:
1. Find your passion and keep striving to achieve your dream
2. Illness is only a detour – find the strength to overcome
While #2 may sound cold-hearted, myself and members of my family have done this so I know it is possible just as Kassaundra proved and the reward is all the more fulfilling. The business side of this is – look how much attention you are able to attract when you hit the right stride. Prospects, clients, sales, and business development on auto pilot will be yours.
Begin wishing upon a star to find your Smooth Sale!
