Dream Big Dreams


This week we learned about thinking big and considering what our own big dreams are. I like what they said in the intro to the lesson plan this week, We get locked into our own little worlds and forget what matters most to us.” It really is true. We tend to get stuck in the weeds of our own lives without thinking about what really matters.
We had our entrepreneurial interviews this week and mine was quite eye opening. In particular, I noticed that the entrepreneur I interviewed did not shy away from his big dreams. He pursued them, even at a young age. He focused on his dreams despite the financial situation he grew up in. He stayed the course even in the face of opposition and lack of support from his mother and extended family. Today he is a successful entrepreneur who continues to pursue what he feels are great opportunities, despite any negativity or push back going on around him. This week’s interview assignment really made me step back and reflect on my own pursuits. Am I dreaming big dreams? To one extent yes and to another no. Our reading this week combined with the things that the entrepreneur that I know taught me, I am motivated to dig deep inside myself, realize what my big dreams are and start pursuing them.
