It's all but a fleeting momnet isn't it?we are rather "un-evolved" when it comes to living the understanding that our lives are but a tiny spec of time. The paradox that makes me giggle a lot, is that we just don't matter do we? And YET…we do matter very much!!I have been feeling this so strongly lately…There is really only ONE thing to do and that is simply to be happy. ALL THE TIME.I hope you had a wonderful time with your mum…and I hope that you were feeling good the whole time you were with her. After all…how we feel is the best indicator of how we are supposed to live our lives.Cheers Chris, enjoy the weekend.Marc

Hi April, thank you for sharing your experiences. This is eye opening for me – when I see the strength and the courage that it took for my mum and dad – it just gives me the inspiration I need to keep moving forward. Hope it does the same for you 🙂

very nice post, maria. thank you for sharing your roots. my grandma came to america from italy at the age of 20. she was a new bride in a strange world and knew no english. her determination and courage have been a huge inspiration to me recently, as i've been traveling to different countries where the languages are unfamiliar to me. i wish that i had realized and communicated this to her when she was still alive. she knew i loved her of course, but we never discussed what her voyage from "the old country" meant to her emotionally and psychologically.

Thank you for sharing the story of your family, it is so inspiring and thought provoking! My entire career path has been due to entrepreneurial spirit. I grew up in a family where if you had a dream, hard work and perseverance will make it happen. I believe that if you are willing to be inspired and work hard consistently, anything is possible.

I am the granddaughter of a Portuguese immigrant who lived the entrepreneurial American dream. It is my genetics and my destiny to do the same. 🙂

We always thing of how much courage it takes to get on a boat or a plane to a new land with nothing more than a few pieces of luggage and a desire for a better life. It never occured to me to look at my attempts at entrepreneurship in the same light, but you're right, it really is an adventure. The journey's wavy and I may not land exactly where I set out to go, but I'm learning so much about myself, my inner resources and my strength in the process.

Thanks for sharing your family's history!

Love hearing about you parents and how their entrepreneurial spirit is part of you! I have always known that I was going to create a business and success by doing my own thing. That doesn't mean I didn't work for others for many years it just means that I knew eventually I wouldn't.
