Dreaming & why it's important.
After skimming Randy Pausch's last lecture I picked up a few things that I was able to apply to my life and how to dream big and set goals to achieve the dreams that you have. I have seen it in my life where I've been able to accomplish the dreams I set out to achieve. One of the ways to achieve those dreams I've been able to see in my life is to execute and just go and do. For me, I know I won't achieve my goals when I'm sitting and watching Netflix all day every day. I need to get up off the couch and actually start doing productive things with my life. Growing up I really didn't have specific dreams that I could think of other than to own a motorcycle of my own and to marry a beautiful woman. I didn't start to dream big I don't think until I started high school and I started to set goals for myself. I also set a dream to always look in the positive in everybody and strive to dream to never think negative about anyone. I feel that with this dream it has helped me to be a better person and it's a weird dream to have but I feel like it has benefitted myself more than anything. I've been able to see the blessings and my other dreams come true as I follow to that simple phrase of looking at the positive of everyone I come in contact with. It has blessed me with amazing opportunities and has helped me grow in ways unimaginable. I've been able to network and communicate better than I ever have. I'm grateful for the ability to dream big and the blessing of being able to achieve those dreams by being productive with everything I do.

A Hero's Journey

We were asked in our online class to watch a 22-minute video called "A Hero's Journey." What I took away from watching the video is that life is precious. Life can be taken away from us at any given moment and I feel we really need to not take our life for granted. We have a journey here on earth and we have one life to live it up. We are here to learn, to grow & to enjoy life to the fullest. I feel like each of us are on different paths and we are all in it together. In his talk, he talked about how he believed that some people in the very room that he was in, will be people who will change the world for the better. He talked about how he wanted to make a difference & he didn't know how to start. He also asked himself if he really has what it takes to succeed in life. He mentioned that we all have missions here on earth. A mission that will succeed our wildest dreams. In the talk, he said we will be able to succeed if we find our entrepreneurial calling. Most...

Bucket List - Top 3 working on right now.

Here are the top 3 things from my bucket list that I want to accomplish very soon. 1. Start a podcast this semester. 2. Improve on the LLC I have right now this semester. 3. Graduate in the next few semesters.  These things I have been thinking about a lot lately and want to achieve these goals very soon. I chose to put these as the top 3 because I want to set some goals right away to accomplish them. I feel like I need to set some daily habits that will help me with these goals I have. I need to stop procrastinating and set myself accountable for these 3 things on my list. I want to place these here to help me be accountable and start doing the necessary things daily to help achieve these goals. I have a vision to ultimately help people connect more and help society/community connect more. I recently have started working with people who have the same vision as I do and we want to help the next generations "Step away from the screen and make something." I feel that ther...

Week 11 - Hopkins Family issue

It really got me thinking when I read about the mini case study on Hopkins family issue. This was the issue -  "For as long as he could remember, David Hopkins wanted to be a successful high school football coach. He even dreamed of joining the college ranks one day. In late 2000, after having achieved an enviable win-loss record at a smaller school, he was named as the head football coach at a large West Texas high school that had a long tradition of winning state championships. On the same day, his wife filed for divorce. She cited Hopkins’s many days on the road as the primary reason for their separation, and announced that she and her four-year-old daughter were moving back to her East Texas hometown. If you were Hopkins, what would you do? Ponder this question and briefly discuss your answer below." If I was Hopkins I would evaluate my love & passion and see what's most important in my life. For me & my priorities, I put God, family & then work. ...
