It’s amazing how when you’re a young child how impressionable you really are, and how those things that your parents always say shape your future without you even having to know about it. I’m sure if you think back you can remember at least a dozen sayings that your parents religiously told you that are stuck in your subconscious and maybe worse, right on the front of your brain.

The best one that spans the generation is the money doesn’t grow on trees saying that we have all grown up with. Well no kidding. It comes from a cash machine, not a tree. Seriously now, those things let us live in a world of abundance or they send us in the other direction.

If you can picture a mother telling her son every time they went out, or went to school saying that real mean wear collared shirts, then you can get a clear vision of what I’m about to share. I can’t remember one time that I left the house that my mom didn’t tell me that.

I grew up with polo shirts and button up shirts starched to the max. I don’t know that it really helped at all in my many trials and tribulations. I’m sure in the journey there have been a few times when it really mattered, but I think it boils down to who you are and how you hold yourself. I’ve been around plenty of wealthy, successful people that wore Hawaiian shirts day in and day out.

So be careful what you say to those that may be impressionable and look up to you. It may end up creating and shaping their entire destiny for years to come.
