I think Randy Pausch had an incredible
drive and motivation from a young age to lead a fulfilling life. He set very
specific goals, he figured out what he needed to do to accomplish them, and
then he followed through. Most people had dreams, but many don’t accomplish
them because they don’t think it’s possible, and they choose more “realistic”
or “practical” things to focus on instead. Tying that in to what I’ve learned
this week, it seems like the big picture idea is that we need to figure out
what it is in life that we want. Once we know what’s most important to us at
our core, we can set goals and figure out what we need to do between now and
reaching those goals to make it all happen. I think dreaming is important
because it helps us to discover our goals and reach for the stars and push our
limits to be the best we can and enjoy life to it’s fullest. One of my
childhood dreams was to be a famous singer. I think if I tried hard enough and
knew the right people, it’s possible to achieve, but at this point in time,
I’ve chosen to focus more on my family, and I think putting that much effort
towards a singing career wouldn’t help my family and could potentially damage
my relationship with my husband and kids, which are more important to me than
anything in the world. Sometimes our dreams change as we get older because our
priorities and values change and mature. I believe there are some things we
dream of as children that can and should be sought after, but others that could
become a distraction from what’s truly important. I would rather be a good
person and a good wife and mother than be famous.
