Dreams Fullfilled Beyond Adversity
| Posted on March 28, 2020 at 1:02 PM |
Dreams Fulfilled Beyond Adversity The following is a
true story . . . In the 3
grade, a young boy’s teacher told his parents that their son was not “just a
slow reader,” but that he had a reading disorder. It was at that moment that
the mother understood why her son would sit for hours in tears trying to learn
ten vocabulary words. The parents hired a
reading specialist who worked with him and taught him some tools to improve his
reading ability. Even with these helpful tools, the specialist told the parents
that he would never be able to go to a four-year university
because it would be too difficult and too fast paced for him. However, this young
boy was full of life, youthfulness, and his innocence did not know defeat. His mother and father
did not accept this “disorder” prognosis as defeat. They continued to inspire, encourage, and
instill confidence that he could accomplish anything he set his heart and mind
to. The day came when he decided he
wanted to go to Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. His reading “disorder” was his adversity, but he made the choice to
not let it defeat him. He believed in himself and had a dream in his heart. Not only did he achieve a degree in civil
engineering, but he also went on to obtain an MBA from Rice University, where
he graduated with honors. Life gave him adversity, but he had a dream.
He did not allow this adversity
to defeat him. Although he was faced with challenges
along the way, he was determined, driven, and successful by taking one step at
a time. He did not allow adversity to win. The story I write
about is that of my oldest son. I am his mother! I tell you this story to inspire you to
fulfill your dreams and be the person that encourages others to fulfill their
dreams. 2017 is a year of rebirth towards our new desires and those desires
that we think are lost . . . a new dream, a new hope, a new beginning. Adversity works against our dreams. The definition of adversity is misfortune, trouble, difficulty, hardship, distress,
disaster, tribulation, and trauma. Adversity attempts to prevent our
desires, hopes, and dreams from being fulfilled. Do we welcome adversity? Of course not. Sometimes the negative aspects of adversity can be utilized to drive us
towards our dreams. Inspiration of a
dream is beautiful and prevents us from living a dull, mundane life. Physical
endeavors and boundaries would not be improved; challenges and intellectual
accomplishments would not be met. Life would be systematic with little change
and growth in human expansion physically, intellectually, and spiritually. It is our dreams and visions that drive us to
live life to the fullest. What are your dreams
for 2017? A few basic steps to begin
fulfilling both new and old dreams:
Let go of what is
already behind you. The day is before
you. Go after your dreams. He is a good good
Father. |
