One end, but a new beginning

 

Week 14 (December 12 - December 15) 2021

This is my final week in this course therefore this is my final blog.

I cannot describe how great this course has been. The words seem to be lost. I have learned a lot about myself and about how to make goals and better yet how important it is to finish (That was this week’s lesson). I have always been horrible at the finishing part. I have a feeling that is going to change now. I know I’m not a new person just because of one class. I’m not that naive, but I do know that I can do anything if I just put forth the effort and do it.

If I could share one thing with others about this course it would be to not wait for opportunities to fall out of the sky. You have to take charge to make a change. You are the only one that can make it happen. I learned that a mentor can be more than just a person. It can be a book too. I have been inspired by the reading this semester and I plan to get my hands on other books suggested in the launching leaders’ lessons. The wisdom that I have encountered has been so thought provoking and strengthening. I will never be the same.

I do not know for sure what the future may have in store for me but I know this course has helped me to be prepared for the inevitable falls that will come. I know that everyone fails and a true sign of a successful person is how they handle it and rebound from it.

I advise you to find those with similar goals and passions that you have and build something great! Do something that makes a difference in the world, even if it is only the world of your local school or community. 

Charity is truly vital for success in life. I will cleave to that wisdom as I move forward.

When I am thinking about this course I almost feel like, between the pondering, it has been one long pep talk. <laugh>

I think it really has been. I think that is what we need to make it through trials, business, and life. We need to be positive and a pep talk really can help. So, from me to you. Never give up.
