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.
