“To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.” — Reba McEntire
Oh Reba…I was just a rebellious, city slicker wannabe growing up in Oklahoma. I should have followed you and your show more closely. You’re obviously a gal that gets it!
What you are telling us is….
That our wishbones will always help us be dreamers. Our backbones will help us withstand rejection and criticism, and give us the strength to trudge through the muck towards our dreams.
My contention is that our funny bones are what really get us through it all. We must laugh at all of the craziness that life brings and at ourselves along the way. Hopefully that path lead to success, whatever our definitions may be.
So good luck to all you dreamers, toughies, and comedians. These three bones are critical on our journey. Just up to us to decide which one is our strongest.
And sometimes you might feel like this song! 🙂
