Dream Big

NOTE: http://www.inclusivelife.org/category/blog/ will soon be the home of the Inclusive Life Blog beginning April 1, 2012.


Entitlement is a buzz word that has been used a lot in the political arena the last few years.  Mostly, they are referring to people looking for a hand out instead of a hand up.  There is another life lesson in there too, one that is not often talked about at family gatherings or coffee shops: You are not guaranteed everything you dream!


I am not saying you can’t or should not follow your dreams.  I am saying that in order to achieve those dreams one MUST also have talent, education and the commitment to work tirelessly for it.

A person who is a klutz will probably not be opening in the lead role of a ballet.  A person who is tone deaf will probably not win American Idol.  A person born with poor eyesight will probably not be a fighter pilot.  Not everyone who applies and tries will be a Marine. 


The focus is not to remind you what you can’t do or can’t be.  The focus is to reinforce two things our society does not...

Number One: You must work VERY VERY VERY hard to achieve your dreams.  No one will do that for you.  It is not a present you will open one day, it is something you must live, breath, bath, eat and live until it is achieved. 

Number Two: Having a dream that you have great passion for is wonderful.  Remember that you achieving your dream is not something that is guaranteed and no one owes it to you!

By all means dream, dream big!  Realize that your success will be determined, not by your dreaming but by your hard work, study and perseverance.


We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One dream at a time.
