Think to become.
The journey starts in your mind.
Do you remember when you werekids and someone would ask what

(00:23):
do you want to be when you growup?
It was a question filled withwonder, possibility and power.
Some of us didn't even know,but some they answered with fire
in their eyes I want to be adoctor, I want to be a
firefighter, I want to be anengineer, a nurse, a pilot or an
astronaut.
And here's the part most peoplemiss they weren't those things

(00:46):
yet, but they were alreadythinking that direction.
And what you think you begin tobecome, let me say it again
what you think you begin tobecome, the journey starts in
the mind, long before it showsup in your life.
The doctor didn't start inmedical school.
They started when they thoughtI want to help people.

(01:07):
The astronaut didn't start atNASA.
They started when they lookedat the stars and thought that's
where I want to go.
The power to become is plantedin thought.
But here's the warning Ifyou're not thinking about where
you want to go.
You're drifting toward wheresomeone else thinks you should
be.
And in this noisy world full ofdistractions and opinions, if

(01:32):
you don't control your thoughts,your thoughts will be
controlled.
You have to own your vision.
You have to take your mind back.
You have to declare it loudthis is what I want to become.
You have to declare it loudthis is what I want to become,
even if it seems impossible,even if you're not sure how,
even if nobody believes you, butyou, because once you think it,

(01:54):
you give it life, you givedirection to your steps, you
give your future a place to aim.
So today I ask you, not thechild version of you, but you
right now what do you want tobecome?
Don't let the years ofdisappointment answer.
Don't let the failures speak up.
Don't let the doubt vote onyour future.

(02:15):
Let your spirit answer.
Let your belief rise again.
Let the dream that really neverdied speak boldly.

and action is the path tobecoming.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
