A few days ago, I shared that one of my dreams had died an untimely death. I had been working toward that dream for over one year. I felt depressed and said that it had died. Then I was reminded by one reader that I was the one preaching about following dreams. If one of my dreams suffered a set back, it was not time to give up. It was time to find out why it failed and then start out again.
Elder Holland said in his quote that if we have to sit on our swords for a time, that was fine, but we had to get up and fight again. So, I have decided not to give up that dream. It is time to learn why it failed, take steps to prevent that dream from failing again for the same reason, and get up and fight again.
So I have been pondering how I was going to get up and fight again. The sweet whispering told me how to start fighting again, and I have started once again to pursue that dream. Just because one thing gets in the way, it is time to pursue another way.
So I am trying again. I am seeking the help I need in a different location and pursuing that same dream once again. "We must take every opportunity... to dream dreams and see visions." Let me tell you, it is easy to lose sight of any dream. It is easy to lose anything that was gained and start to give up. But that is wrong. Dreams, especially ones that feel right, should be kept, treasured, worked toward, and learned from. Sorry for the weakness, but it is time to start again to pursue all dreams.
So I learn yet another lesson, I begin again to pursue that dream I have had for a long time, and see if I can realize it. Lesson learned.
