The Season For Dedications

Dedication otherwise known as devotion.

Devotion: the quality of being devoted or committed to something.

Funny how you are called upon from time to time to give a dedication to something. I recently found a letter in my son’s backpack asking for a dedication to his yearbook. I have always supported his school, so immediately in my mind I began to construct something I thought would be appropriate. I decided to unveil my masterpiece during dinner this evening. It went something like this: “We are the three musketeers. We have fought many battles together including sorrow, change and uncertainty. We have now turned a corner toward abundance and success, our best adventures are yet to come.”

Before the words completely came out of my mouth, my eldest son began to cry. I asked him why, he felt the pain of our year, felt the journey he had taken and agreed that the words were true…they struck a nerve.

I think dedications are meant to move people, the people who hear your words should feel your emotions, sense your journey and know that you alone determine and drive your future. In the spirit of graduations, the season of marriages, and in an effort to take your business to the next level, always ensure that when you have the chance to make a dedication, it comes from the heart.

Cheers!
