Desire it, do it!

Anything you desire to do you can do. Anything!
Wayne Dyer


I know this can sound too good to be true. How could this be? I have a healthy amount of skepticism that regularly challenges statements like these—until I see the concept in action. I remember one student, Dylan, who had the passion to be a pilot from early childhood. He lived this passion in every way—how his room was decorated, the magazines and books he read (sometimes just looked at the pictures), the films he watched, the games he played-- all this with the absolute conviction and the detailed, sensory-rich image of one day flying for the Air Force. I knew him because he had a hard time with math and I came to have enormous respect for him as I watched his ups and downs with a subject that was critical to his dream. All I can say is he worked harder than anyone I had ever seen, He put up with the frustrations of progressing in a subject he found defeating, he put hours into doing whatever it took to be able to graduate and join the Air Force and he never quit talking about flying. He is in the Air Force. He passed the tests and is now living his dream. Not all of us have that kind of passion, determination and ability to keep a dream alive even during the most challenging times. Tutors, I and the other students, who came at the same tutoring time as Dylan, watched his progression and were inspired by it. What is your dream?
