New Year, new vision

This week the assignments were kind of odd. I always enjoy writing on my blog because it's like a time to reflect on myself and relax from all the stress of the week. This is really my space, my time to think about me. 

I believe I have never thought about what I really want to accomplish in life before I die. I was only thinking about making a living and providing money for my family. Making a bucket list was helpful to ponder on the things I've always wanted to do but I have never thought of. Choosing the top three things to do this years was also a hard task because when you really think if you can make it possible, then everything changes. Is not the same as having a vague idea of what to do. 

Reading the Transcript of Pausch's Last Lecture I realized that having a clear vision of what you want to do is better than not having anything. Thanks to this list I decided to finally start a YouTube channel. Planning my videos and storyboarding them is not that simple but that is what is required to really succeed on the platform. That's exactly what we have to do with our lives. Thinking backwards and putting myself in where I want to be at age 70 and coming backwards to my 30s made things much simpler to plan. Knowing exactly where you want to reach and then plan the steps needed to get there made everything clearer and meaningful. 

I believe Pausch was able to accomplish many of his childhood dreams because he never lost the vision of them. Sometimes we are struggling, or think we are struggling, with so many things that we think everything is hard to do. Every week my wife and I are reviewing our week plans and that's truly a headache. 
Take a deep breathe, washing your face and taking a minute to clear your mind can be very beneficial to realize that things are not that hard. 

Dreaming big is important, otherwise you'll find yourself on the same spot for years and years. We all have talents and what we need to feel is that we are useful to society and the people around us. That's why you must dream, and dream big. That's the vision you need to really do something of your life. 

As a kid I've always wanted to work at DreamWorks. Now, I think that dream will never be accomplished. Why? Cause I don't want to work for nobody, I hated the time I spent being an employee, I want to start my own thing and really do things in my way. So, in a way of thinking, is a good thing that this dream never accomplishes.
