Week 2 

Entrepreneur Journal:




The inspiration that I gained from this week came directly from the speech given by Randy Pausch. He was a Professor of computer science and believed in childhood dreams should be our pathway to individualism and a better life. He stated, "It's not how you achieve your dream but how you lead your life. If you lead your life the right way the karma will take care of itself." Although Randy has a profound reason to encourage us to live our childhood dream, he did so in a courageous and hopeful way. Albeit, these are the blessing from Heavenly Father in accordance with living a faithful life and working towards accomplishing goals.

 I realized that when we dream, we should inherently put them to the test. A dream is just a thought or expression of one's imagination until we put it into motion. I have learned from Tom Kelly that we should treat life, dreams, and aspirations like an experiment. I truly believe that failing forward helps us achieved many of our dreams through the process of experimentation. Nathan Hawthorne said, "Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."

My childhood dream was to be educated, be self-sustaining and own a business. Throughout the years, I have achieved these dreams and realized that there are more obstacles like brick walls that cause cessation of your abilities to keep you from further success. Thus, only allowing you to be just a dreamer. Despite the difficulties, I have faced, I took the necessary steps to start my educational journey starting with Pathways. This dream has led me to see my potential and given me a light to better experiences

I have learned this week to create a path of steppingstones to ensure the balance, alignment, and accountability. In addition, we should find our own star and life is not a destination but rather a journey. Also, remember that we can all strive towards perfection through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
