Your Life Is Worth Celebrating (Prepping for this next year ahead)...
I was 6 years old, a gymnastics kid, liked by most of the kids in my class, had great neighbor kid friends too...
My birthday was coming up and I remember exactly the success I had last year when I personally called and invited every kid to my gymnasium birthday party, and all 25 kids showed up.
One of the greatest successes of my life in phone sales.
This year my birthday was going to be epic. My mom planned out an entire room at the movie theatre, the kids would show up, we'd eat cake, and then go watch a movie after – We would remember this day for the rest of our life.
The time came for people to start arriving and I looked at the decorated room with a joy that made me smile from ear to ear, I was so excited.
10 minutes passed, no one had arrived yet.
I thought to myself, "This is going to be great." I waited patiently, eagerly.
30 minutes passed, still, no one.
I thought, well, maybe I'll give my neighbor kid friends a call, I know I can rely on them and it'll still be awesome once they show up.
I called them, no answer.
Called again just in case, no one.
I sat there in my party room thinking of what people might be doing, if they were ok, or if they'd just forgotten about today.
"Surely they know, I called everyone of them and even talked to their parents."
Not even my neighbor kid friends showed up that day.
To say I felt disappointed was an understatement...I think I experienced what you could call kid devastation that day.
People said they would come.
Does their word not matter?
Wait...
Do I not matter?…
