3 Strong Lessons from Dolly Parton
The world wants to hear about the person behind the person — the
authentic, real person.
1. Reinvent Yourself
The old you will die, and that means your perspective will be lost. If you have a family and children, and the death of aging is something you fear, you will need to face the day-to-day reality of aging. But Dolly makes it okay.
2. Confidence is Beauty
She also inspired the famous and popular Disney character “Elsa from Frozen”. But Elsa wasn’t the first character who was influenced by Dolly.
Dolly’s energy is that of self-awareness
Dolly is an unapologetic, honest, confident woman who has no time for pretense. She shows off her beauty through extravagant costumes and wigs. Because she is comfortable with herself, she is also comfortable with being herself with other people. She has no need to pretend and does not feel the need to put on a show. She is just herself, plain and simple.
3. Diversity and Acceptance Matter
The only thing that is true is that the show Dolly is a lot of fun to watch and it is really funny. Dolly has an incredible sense of humour, she is an amazing actress and she is nice to everyone. In the end she still has a job and I know that’s not always easy.
Dolly may be in her 60’s, but she’s just a kid at heart. She doesn’t feel the need to talk about her age because she likes everyone and is nice.
Yes, but also, because I have a lot of respect for the President’s personal style, I appreciate the fact that he has the capacity to say whatever he wants to say to the American people and not be worried about offending somebody.
