Day 142 – Practice Makes Perfect

Elijah has another event coming up in school tomorrow. He is involved in a group project presentation on Global Warming. Since he does an absolute uncanny, spot on imitation of the President – they have him dressing up and presenting their information to the class as if he was the President giving a speech. Everything about his imitation is perfect, the voice- the gestures- he even slightly resembles him which is hysterical. He actually had the privilege to meet the President a few years back when he made an appearance at his school in NC and Elijah was one of a group selected to meet and greet the President and shake his hand.

Anyhow, for today’s intention I reminded Elijah of the old adage…. “Practice Makes Perfect” and invited him to practice with me while I was ironing his outfit for the presentation and getting everything together. Vinny and I have always encouraged our boys to give all activities, hobbies, goals and projects large or small 100% and take pride in everything they do and I must admit he should be quite proud of his performance tomorrow because he did an amazing job during practice.

I am reminded of a saying that has always been one of my favorites:
“Shoot for the moon – even if you miss you’ll land amongst the stars”

Set a goal and go for it. Take on a project and complete it. Take pride in all things you produce. Never be afraid to try. And always remember that practice really does make perfect. #HGAL #liveyourlife
