I think I have never set a time to imagine how I want to be at my 70's, 50's or 30's. If I did, it was not with the same vision I have been taught this week. I never thought neither that the questions 1)What have I accomplished?, 2) Was I a good person? and 3) Who did I love? were part of the self assessment one has to do every certain time in life to understand if the choices taken have been aligned to "my calling" in life and God's plan.
Reading about the importance of having a clear understanding of who we are -children of God- and that God really cares about us has strengthen my mind and heart in this new path I have decided to take. The Cycle of Spiritual Guidance cited by Steven A. Hitz in Launching Leaders: An Empowering Journey for a New Generation opened my eyes to the real steps to be taken for a successful and peaceful life.
In addition to all of the above mentioned, there is something that Randy Pausch teach us in his story life. It is to be persistent, diligent and never feel discouraged because of rejection, failure or a simply receiving a "No!." That space between the time of trial and reaching the final fruit is measured with our diligence and faith, there's were we make the difference!
As Randy, I also had many childhood dreams. To become a professional soccer player is not something everybody gets to be, however, I don't feel discouraged since I am now learning how to become entrepreneurial instead of listening a coach teaching me how shoot better. That was simply not my calling, perhaps I don´t have the skills neither the age required to become a soccer player at this point of my life, but I can prepare myself to coach others how to create business and be successful.
Dreaming is the first step! Let your mind explore the unlimited possibilities of life and enjoy that trip. As kids we do that a lot and we retain, as we grow up, those dreams that we identify as reachable. As we grow in knowledge and experience we can shape those dreams into realities once we apply our knowledge and skills.
