I share with you a closing statement I wrote for cosmetology students at the Taylor Andrews Academy in Salt Lake City, UT.
You Can Do It
A wonderful world awaits you
Each client is your master teacher
Each person polishes off your life
Leaves behind a better understanding of all.
Fabulous lives will come before you
Fortune, wealth and influence
Fame stops at any doorstep
Eventually moving on
Leaving behind only what’s in your heart.
Always be a little kinder than necessary.
You will feel fear.
Decide how much fear to allow in your life.
Will you hope life treats you well or
Faithfully work for wonderful outcomes?
Why faith—not hope?
Hope is a lowly beggar, whereas faith
Faith fights all battles while hope lingers.
Always believe, not hope, in positive outcome
I hope I can be successful
I hope I can be a good hairdresser.
Doesn’t work
I know I will be successful,
I know I will be a great hairdresser
Works
Life will knock you down
And bring you back in focus
It’s always darkest before the dawn
Get up, dust off and get ready for greatness
It’s coming
Fall six times
Get up seven
You can do it, yes you can.
