The Boy Who Has a Dream

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Grants Pass, OR 199909023

The boy who has a dream.  Young people inspire me.  They have a zest for life and a willingness to pursue their dreams at all costs.  

Some say it takes guts.  Others might call it determination.  I believe it's a combination of both along with a healthy dose of inspiration.

There's someone who knows a lot about inspiration.  He eats, sleeps and breathes it daily.  His name is Seth Larson, and he is special.

Seth is the son of Michele & Mitch Larson.  He's an extremely talented young man, who has chosen to put his dream of being an artist on hold so he can take care of his father (Mitch) who is battling a rare terminal disease called MSA.

Prepare to be inspired  by this stunning video of Seth painting a Winter Sunrise.  This is his moment to shine, after having just spent 3 months homeless living in a motel with his family.  I'm totally speechless and in awe!

Hi Mel,  We need more stories like this.  Not blogs about how great we are in real estate but blogs about how we can reach out and make the world a better place.  Very nicely done!

Thank you Belinda!  The Larson Family is so sweet and very dear to my heart.  What they're going through is sad and tragic beyond words.  Seth is a wonderful human being (like his parents).  My hope is that his dreams become a reality one day... very soon!

I'm with you Mel. I love the inspiration I get from being with or around younger people. In many cases their insight hasn't been polluted...

Ditto Paul.  There's a twinkle in their eye, a kick in their step, and they have a spark of enthusiasm that just gets my motor running ;-)

Mel,

I love your post and your intentions, and many of us have the light regardless of our ages.  It is good to see it everywhere we look, perhaps the young are more open about it. A

Thanks Alexandra!  Agreed... those of us who are are little older (& wiser) still have some spunk in our step ;-)

I think so too... Jan!  It was such a delight watching him paint a masterpiece!

Wasn't it amazing... Cindy!  This young man is not only talented, but a wonderful human being too!

Ditto Andrea!  Hoping he get's the recognition he deserves ;-)
