As most of you know, our family had the almost indescribable good fortune to be able to watch our son Trent take the field in the recent Super Bowl. What a blessing!
While everybody may not be able to have this particular experience (and such a public one, at that), everyone can have a dream. The dream I’m talking about is that aspiration, when realized, that leaves one feeling fully and completely triumphant.
Think of the student who rises from poverty to become the first in his family to graduate from college. Or imagine the parent of the child with special needs who, after years of thinking it will never happen, finally hears their son or daughter speak their first word. Or put yourself in the shoes of the small businessman who failed on his first try (or second, or third), only to persevere and find enduring success. To these people, and to all of us, these experiences are as meaningful as any Super Bowl.
Here are a few thoughts that my son, Trent, found useful in keeping his focus on
his goals and dreams:
- High focus, intentionality, and consistency in his preparation
- Prove the naysayers wrong
- Keep going when you feel you can’t
- Control the controllables
- No complaining
- Learn to GROW from all experiences
- Move on from a defeat when you feel like you can’t
Dream it, prepare for it, go for it; if you make it CONGRATS. If you don’t make your Super Bowl, remember that failure is not fatal, and keep pushing towards this dream or the next one. I guarantee the lessons from the experience will catapult you forward to be bigger and better than you ever thought you could!
DREAM BIG! NO REGRETS! LET’S GROW!
