One band that was hugely popular from the 70’s all the way up to maybe even now is Chicago. And they had a big hit in 1972 (way too far back for me to even remember) with a song called “Saturday In The Park.” It popped up in a video feed I saw, recently, and I gotta say it’s very catchy.
Robert Lamm, who wrote Saturday In The Park, described his writing process:
“It was written as I was looking at footage from a film I shot in Central Park, over a couple of years, back in the early ‘70s. I shot this film and somewhere down the line I edited it into some kind of a narrative. And as I watched the film I jotted down some ideas based on what I was seeing and had experienced. And it was really kind of that peace and love thing that happened in Central Park and in many parks all over the world. Perhaps on a Saturday, where people just relax and enjoy each other’s presence. And the activities we observe and the feelings we get from feeling a part of a day like that.”
Have you ever heard the song? Here are some of the lyrics:
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
Eh Cumpari, ci vo sunari
Can you dig it? (Yes, I can)
And I’ve been waiting such a long time
For Saturday
I don’t know about you, but I can almost see myself in that park.
Matter of fact, since tomorrow’s Saturday, as I write this, I might just have to plan a park day. The good news is, I could go any of the day of the week I choose. Because I built my own business. And my System makes it possible for me to choose what days I work. And I love what I do, so I’m not just workin’ for the weekend.
But that all started a long time ago with my Vision to work from home so I could be there for my kids as they grew up. Thankfully, I was able to put together a System that lots of clients have paid me to teach them to use.
And it all started with my Vision for what I wanted and where I wanted to go.
And that’s why the very first lessons in RondaReady YOUniversity are designed to help you discover your Vision. Whether you want to start your own business based on your dreams, or get a higher-paying job, you still need to know who YOU are. What makes you tick.
How about we talk about it some more? Book a free call with me, with that handy calendar below. And give me a chance to see if I can help you get where YOU wanna go in life. Let’s talk soon. Of course, you might not catch me this Saturday in the park.
Stay Ready,
