 I think Randy Pausch was able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams for a couple of reasons. I love when he talks about brick walls because we all have them and they are there for a reason. He knew how badly he wanted something, there were walls. I see that as well and I chose to turn doubt into determination. We will fight for things we want badly enough. 

I feel dreaming is very important. I love to dream, I love to visualize and I love to manifest. I love to make things happen in my life. Without a dream, an idea, where are we headed? Dreams also carry our desires. If you wish for something, you desire a certain outcome, that is a dream. No matter how big or small this dream may be, it matters. Now don’t get me wrong, we can’t only dream. We have to work. Work towards your dream.

One of my childhood dreams is to be a teacher. I have always had that characteristic and when I was a kid, of course I could only envision a classroom teacher. As I got older I understood what it meant to be a teacher, what those qualities were, and I have always been a teacher. Now in my career, I want to be a teacher, share my skills and my wisdom and that is super doable. Therefor I believe I can achieve this dream, and continue to live this dream.

This has helped my mental and emotional health, but I know one day my story will matter to others and it something they can also gain validation and wisdom from.  There were many great messages we read through or listened to this week. The concept of “do what you love” has been something that I have put a lot of thought in just like everyone else. This is how I view it for myself- there are tasks, characteristics, or interactions that I love that I feel I can carry into any business that strikes an interest for me. There will always be tasks that I dislike. At the moment I am working in the dental field, as an office manager. ...

 “A Hero’s Journey” Video My takeaways from this video were first, live every moment like it matters and as if you have a very important mission. Never give up your search for a calling was a great point as well. Together I imagine this would lead to a life of with more meaning, you have to look for it. Another thing I often think about is finding great role models. I think I am still looking, I am not really sure where to look. Another great takeaway was learning how to learn, learn how to listen and learn how to ask questions! These 3 things have already gotten me a lot farther in my personal growth. Believe and recognize the truth when you see it is crucial.
