Week Ten

 

I loved this week’s lesson! Dreaming and chasing your dreams is so important. When someone finds their passion and they work within their passion they are able to achieve such great things. It is interesting that we do a lot of dreaming when we are little kids and the older, we grow somehow our dreams become only dreams.

My daughter just turned six in February and that little girl is a dreamer. Make believe is her game and she absolutely dream up all these different ideas. She will even go to the extent of creating this “dream” that she has come up with. It makes me wonder as an adult, how have I lost that spark. Becoming scared of failing and the unknown. I want to have my daughter and all of my kids be able to keep their dreams alive. Knowing that failing is part of the adventure. Being able to fail brings them steps closer to achieving what they are wanting to achieve.

There is a saying that you should shoot for the stars and if you miss then you still can hit the moon. This week’s lesson reminded me a lot about that saying. Why should we limit ourselves with our dreams, hopes, and desires? We should be finding our passions and working through those passions in order to hit the stars or even the moon. If we never take that leap of faith, we won’t be able to go anywhere. We will stay in limbo until another task takes us.

As a Mom, I want to be able to help teach my kids that reaching for what they want in life is not a bad thing. They can become anything they want but they need to work for it. They will have ups and bumps in the road, but they can get passed them. Working through their passions and remembering to keep dreaming is only going to help them not be scared to fail.
