Dare to dream big dreams. For those are the dreams that have the power to push your whole world forward. - Ralph Marston
Believe in the life
inside you, believe in the great and holy mind within you, and push forward
with the dream you have chosen until you make it. - Ilchi Lee
Last week, the author wrote about John A. “Bud”
Hillerich making a bat for Pete Browning and from that act of kindness the iconic
“Louisville Slugger” brand was born. After Hillerich, age 17, volunteered to create
a bat, ballplayers from all around the country started coming to his father’s woodworking
shop to have a bat created for them. However, Hillerich’s father was not
supportive of taking the business in the direction of making baseball bats. He
envisioned the company making wood projects that would be found in homes including
stair railings, butter churns and pillars. Hillerich’s father turned away
business from ballplayers because he wanted to focus on his vision. However,
Hillerich persisted, and his father finally relented to his son’s enthusiasm. (https://www.slugger.com/en-us/explore/our-history)
This story is a great example of how each reader
needs to stick to their dreams even when opposition comes against them. Opposition
can come in many forms, but when someone has a vision, they have to carry it
forward and not stop when the naysayers come against them.
ACTION: Last
week, you started creating your 2023 goals and thinking about how your goals would
impact lives. Do you see support from others, or do you think those around you
will be like Hillerich’s father who doubted the idea and not support you? How
will you overcome that in 2023?
