In this course I have learned very basic things. Things that maybe you could learn just by living life and getting experience. However, I feel that I’ve learned these things for a reason. I feel like in life, when we’re young and energetic, and we have everything we need to live comfortably, it’s easy to try to come up with business ideas, and everything just sounds great! And although that is a great attitude, we cannot forget the most important part. We are not alone in this journey, and the other people involved in it, matter a lot.
Throughout this course a learned about a few points that I know I will never forget, and it’s not because they were annoying, or because it was so hard to do this course, it’s because they were really eye opening, and they were exactly what I needed to hear at the time I took this course.
First, we cannot be scared. There is so much out there that we can do! There’s so much for us to see, and explore, and learn, and fail and succeed at. There’s so much that we haven’t experienced that is just waiting for us to be brave enough to go out there and do it. Quit thinking that what you’ve been dreaming about starting as a company is unrealistic. If it’s your passion, pursue it! There’s few things in this life that make us excited and happy that we can use as a job. So, we need to stop taking that for granted, and start acting like we like ourselves a little bit more than choosing the wrong career because of the money.
Second, family will always come first! Don’t forget your roots. Don’t forget the people that got you to where you are now, and don’t fail to acknowledge those that are helping you this very instant to accomplish your wildest dreams. Family is super important. There is no one that will love you more than them even though you might be a little crazy.
Third, and last, be happy. Like Snow White’s seven dwarfs say, be happy and whistle while you work. If you’re not doing something you love, you’re not going to be happy for very long, or it won’t be long before you realize you’re not happy. Do what you want to do, explore life and find something that makes you feel amazing, and then do your best to do that every day. Because when we’re happy, our families are happy, and life can be so much better.
