thank you today I want to talk to you
about why pursuing your dreams means
much more than you think it does
as a coach I love talking to people
about their dreams and that started
really when I was a young boy at the age
of seven my mother who was an executive
in industry allowed me to come to
meetings with her and sit in the back of
the room and listen because I was so
impressed by the impact that she had on
other people I was so impressed at the
way my mother helped people refine their
own dreams but more than that she helped
them understand how what they did on a
daily basis made incremental progress to
achieving those dreams and something
else that I learned in those meetings
with my mother many many years ago was a
difference between goals and dreams
goals are important but dreams are so
much bigger goals helped us get to our
dreams but dreams introduce us to
ourselves dreams help us realize what
our potential is and inspire us to
achieve much more than we thought was
possible
dreams become the true north in our
lives and they help us become the best
version of us that we can be this is why
I love dreams and I love talking about
them now why do I say that your dreams
mean much more than you can imagine
it’s simple your dreams and the
achievement of your dreams bring your
own personal fulfillment that’s true but
there’s a greater good here
your dreams also and the achievement of
those steps the goals between where you
are in the and the achievement of your
dream those things are so important to
others because they can become a beacon
to them as they navigate the darkness of
their own journey of self-discovery and
not only that those dreams that they see
that you have achieved not only become
an inspiration for them but that become
a source of resilience to them as they
experience the setbacks that we all
experience in life on our own journeys
now I want to introduce you to three
dreamers these dreamers and their
achievements not only meant something to
them but I call them life changers it
changed their lives and it changed the
lives of so many other people this young
lady is Lars Dekker at 16 years old
Laura became the youngest person ever to
circumnavigate the globe Solo in a
sailboat imagine what she went through
to achieve that dream mark Inglis after
40 grueling treacherous days became the
first double amputee to scale to the
summit of Mount Everest and then there’s
little moziah bridges Mosiah is 11 years
old but his dream is to become a fashion
designer and be an entrepreneur in the
fashion business so he loves wearing
bowties he told his grandmother about
his dream and she said she’s a
seamstress and she said Mosiah or moe as
she calls him I will help you so now
those bows is the name of his business
and he sells his ties in across six
states in boutiques and retail chains
retail chains and he is expanding his
line of offerings and expanding the
territory that he sells them in now
what’s different about these people is
simply this they didn’t give up on their
dream they pursued it they pursued the
steps to their dream they pursued the
incremental advancement to their dreams
and they wouldn’t take no for an answer
and you know they remind us of something
very important and that is this there
are no elevators that take us to our
dreams all of us must use the stairway
all of us must go through those
incremental steps to get us to the
achievement of that dream and that’s why
some people call this journey to a dream
the hero’s journey and so what I would
like to do today in closing is ask you
this as you think about your dream as
you think about the people who inspired
you to go after that dream as you think
about all of the things you are involved
in doing to achieve that dream I want
you to focus on how good that feels
in moving in that direction but there’s
something equally important I want you
to think about all the other people out
there who are waiting to be inspired by
you and your dream thank you
you
