Once upon a time, we all had that one big dream. That huge dream of who we would become. We were going to be the biggest and best. We were going to make our families proud (or prove them wrong). We might become famous someday, become a household name. Those bullies were going to regret ever being mean to us. But then life happened. We were told “no” too many times. We were pigeon-holed into “what we are” and “who we’re supposed to be.” We had to look and act a certain way to fit it (or not stand out). We had to tone it (being gay) down and to butch it up. Our feelings didn’t matter; everyone else’s did.
In time, whatever we dreamed we would be someday slowly faded away like our nightly dreams. Mostly forgotten, except in the deep recesses of our minds. Except on occasion when we think, “Someday.”
Except now we’ve added our own layers of limitations. But all of that us bullocks.
We’re here to say that today is now!
There’s never been a better time for you for queer people to step out and step up. The world needs you to do that thing, to discover that thing, to go to that place, to play that part, to create whatever it is. The world, us and everyone else in it from now through the rest of history, to do your thing.
If Madonna can become MADONNA . . . if Martine Rothblatt and Vivian Wong can become leaders in science and technology . . . if a boy with a stutter from Scranton PA can become the President of the United States of America and a little African American girl with a stutter can grow up to recite her poetry at his inauguration . . . if Curtis Wong, who we interviewed for Queer Money® podcast episode #18, can become a Deputy Editor for HuffPost and a journalist for Billboard . . . YOU CAN BECOME WHOEVER YOU WANT [WERE MEANT] TO BECOME!
If success is available to them, it’s available to you. What’s the difference between them and you? Your belief in yourself. Life has projected a series of limiting beliefs on you and it’s your number one responsibility now to break them down. Do that today. Now.
What should you do now?
