Today's post is about challenges, passions and childhood dreams.
Keegan loves motivational speeches. He quotes them, he watches them, he remembers them and feeds off them for every situation life will throw at him. They're not just words on a page, they're like a type of fuel for his soul.
I've recently (after years of exposure) felt the power of a passionate motivational speech. Randy Pausch's last lecture "Achieving your Childhood Dreams" on youtube is inspirational. One you could watch over and over again and it would never get old.
Randy's way of viewing set backs, to never give up, to keep challenging brick walls is something I passionately want to instil in my students and my future children.
Instead of seeing road blocks as signs to give up, he gives thanks for criticism, for when you are critiqued, you are loved.
What I was reminded of in his life, was not only to persevere with the dreams you have but to do your best to look out for and champion the chasing of dreams in those around you.
That's what I want to do this year. 2016. Chase my dreams and champion others to chase theirs as well.
Question is...what are my dreams?
Great question, but it makes me nervous thinking of putting them on paper. What if I never achieve them?
I guess, the journey is often more valuable than merely reaching your desired destination.
Lesson #6: You can do anything you put your mind to. Don't let others stop you from reaching your dreams. Never give up.
God made you for a purpose.
