“That is what it is. We can’t change it. We just have to decide how we’ll respond. We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” - Randy Pausch
Randy Pausch had such great success because he learned how to deal with what life gave him. He wasn’t given a perfect and stress free life. But instead of feeling bad for himself and taking it out on other people, he put all his effort into building himself and accomplishing dreams that he had. Understanding that no one is given a perfect life, but rather it needs to be created. He didn’t let circumstances hold him back from chasing his dreams and eventually accomplishing those dreams through hard work and perseverance.
Dreaming is something important to do in our lives but it doesn't always come easy to some. Learning to dream and then chase your dreams will help you achieve success and learn more about yourself. Dreaming is crucial because if not dreaming and working toward something then you are stagnant. Dreaming helps to create a sense of purpose and motivation in life. Ideally our dreams can and will lead to our passions and will give us a sense of purpose and fulfillment that we need in our lives. Understanding that dreaming can help lead us down a meaningful path is important when thinking about the future. It is also a way to get to know yourself and understand things that you enjoy and like to do which can help enhance your life.
I had many dreams as a child and while some were unrealistic (owning a unicorn) others were achievable. I always dreamed of working in a career where I could help people. I always wanted to help others that were struggling. I thought I wanted to be a teacher but my dream evolved into helping those that struggle with addiction. I work in the recovery field and am able to help people everyday that have and are going through a hard time.
