Second Post

Through out this past week I took some time to think about what I would do if I knew my life would be cut short. Have I accomplished what I wanted to? Do I have any dreams that will go unfulfilled because I didn't pursue them sufficiently?

Looking back on when I was a kid, of course I had dreams. I'm not sure I have one though that sticks out as something that would be realistic to follow. Don't get me wrong, I had many dreams. They were usually tied to the stage I was in. In high school they revolved around sports and being the best I could be. Then, as I went to college, it turned to personal improvement and individual sports. If I were to sit down now and dream, it would relate to the stage of life that I'm in now and how I can be great at what I do. 

I suppose it's not a bad thing to dream in the moment. I do believe that dreams are important. It allows you to see what you value most and what you would like to see in the future. Dreams lead to a vision which can be broken down into goals to be achieved. It also allows you to have fun and be optimistic. To dream is always positive.

Something that I wanted to do as a child was to grow up and be like my dad. Not to do what he does, which is what I do now, but to own and run a business and run my life accordingly. As time has gone on I've come back to the farm and have a chance at doing that very thing. I didn't see myself being a farmer five years ago. I tend to take challenges on when they come and do my best when those challenges come.

Five years from now, "The whole world could end". It's a phrase that my dad use's since life changes so quickly. In that time I hope to find myself in an ownership position and working on building a business and pursuing a new challenge.
