5 Ways to Kill Your Dreams
It’s been that kind of week…or two…or three, actually, where I have had so many meetings and trips and other valuable experiences and obligations that it’s been tough to find time to write…or even to rest. 🙂 And then there’s the world outside my little world, the world of earthquakes and protests and riots and more. It’s enough to wear you out and wear you down. Or at least to tempt you to give up on some of your dreams.
Which is why I found this 6-minute TED Talk by Brazilian entrepreneur and innovator Bel Pesce a helpful reminder not only that we need dreamers more than ever, but that there are some sure-fire ways to kill, or keep alive, our dreams. Much of this short talk is not new, reminding us that there is no substitute for hard work and of the absolute necessity to take responsibility for our dreams. But it came at a good time for me, and perhaps will for you as well.

President Lose:
Easter greetings!
I want to thank all of those responsible for the recent Convocation celebration as my class celebrated our 50th anniversary. I truly appreciated the opportunity to celebrate with my classmates and the community of faith at the seminary.
May God continue to bless and renew you and your leadership at the seminary and may His love and forgiveness continue to flow through the seminary’s mission.
Easter blessings,
Paul M. Payerchin ’65
Thanks for this post. I needed to hear Bel’s message about dreams as April seemed to swallow me up with conferences, retreats and responsibilities that were at the same time incredibly rewarding and exhausting. As I look at May things are not slowing down and demands for my time are increasing for wonderful and exciting reasons. It’s a good time to make sure that all I am doing is getting me closer to what I feel called most to in the world and in the church. The hard work will be worth it and probably won’t seem as hard when it’s work I am called and equipped to do.
