Source: pintrest.comThere is a lot to be learned from Randy Pausch's Last Lecture He speaks about childhood dreams and how to achieve them while helping others achieve their's along the way. Childhood dreams are too often forgotten. I have always thought it a good exercise to write them down. I have my top five goals/priorities written on a piece of paper and taped to the back of my door so that everyday before I leave the house I will see them. I think knowing what your desired destination is makes mapping out the trip a lot easier. It is good to have plans but when it comes to dreams Randy Pausch teaches us that they don't ever happen the way we thought they might.
Source: pintrest.comYou have to be flexible and durable to overcomes the challenges between you and your dreams. Trials will always arise. Trials are simply misunderstood opportunities. They are the opportunity to show the world that you really and truly want to overcome. Accomplishments are born out of hardship. If there was nothing to work through then it wouldn't be an accomplishment it would just be a circumstance, a road side stop. It's when you have to work for it that it begins to be valuable. If you'll notice, no one is ever commended for breathing. It's something that comes naturally and requires no extra thought to do. However, when some experiences an asthma attack, then breathing becomes an accomplishment. It becomes something that is no longer easy to do and is therefore admirable. That is what I got from Randy Pausch's last lecture. Chew on that for awhile!
