The Pot of Gold

by Walt Carvalho

I am truly blessed.

I have the greatest family anyone could ever ask for. I have a group of friends who enjoy getting together, with all of us enjoying great insightful discussions. There are friends who like me, also enjoy travel, meeting new people in places in which they live. Some enjoy similar sports and hobbies as I do, while others are simply acquaintances, but time spent with them is always fun.

That is how our lives are intertwined with others.

This Super Bowl Sunday was spent with many new friends, who I met for the very first time. The game itself was exciting. The friendships gained on that cloudy afternoon were built over great conversation and great Cajun home cooking.

Our discussions ranged from sports oddities and history to music industry theory and listener generation likes and dislikes. We discussed how things are today with all the possibilities we have, to build the promise of tomorrow. It was interesting to hear the difference in opinions, yet still hearing a common message.

People, it seems, are finding a new truth. They are coming to grips with a new reality.

The path to success in this new world economy is not decided by only one overseeing individual, institution or cause. It’s not waiting to be told what to do. It’s not found under the wing of another.

Opportunity today, lies within you!

Get Creative. Get Social.
