The Lessons of A Dream

On May 25:

— 1961: President John F. Kennedy said he believed the nation should commit itself to land a man on the moon and bring him safely home. That became a reality in 1969, and the accomplishments in space since then have been amazing.

— 1977: George Lucas’ dream of Star Wars opened in theaters. The well-crafted characters, compelling story line and action, and never-before-seen special effects catapulted that galaxy into a world-wide phenomenon.

What If?

Every dream, large or small, begins as a “What if?” in someone’s imagination.

With persistence and hard work, sometimes the dream becomes a reality.

And sometimes not.

The Lessons of A Dream

Regardless of the outcome, dreams have taught me:

D – Diligence – To keep pursuing what is important to my spirit

R – Resilience – When life may not happen as expected

E – Endurance – In the face of hardship and disappointment

A – Acceptance – Of limitations and reality

M – Measurement – Of what really matters

Keep dreaming.

You may reach the moon or a galaxy far away someday. And even if you don’t, the lessons are priceless.
