There is life after the dream dies.
There is life after the dream dies.
With Saint Pierre, I am Saint Pierre, barely.
Verily, I say to you that the death of a dream is not the end of a dream.
The death of a dream can come by many methods, three of which we will discuss here.
It can die from neglect, and it can even be killed by dream killers.
In this canceled culture we live in, no matter how your dream died, know that you are equipped.
To bring it back to life, there is life after failure.
If you heed the lessons, there is life after neglect.
That power is found in the CPR applied to the dead dream.
The P is for persistence and the R is for resilience.
Here is how we apply CPR to revive our dead dreams.
Imagine that you had this unique business idea for, let's say, a mobile lemonade stand.
And let's call it rolling lemons, rolling lemons.
Is going to change the world because it will deliver lemonade on demand at any time in any place.
You are now forced to close and liquidate all your assets rolling.
Failure is defined as the lack of success.
This means that failure is relative.
What might be failure to you may not be failure to someone else.
Therefore, you must define for yourself what failure of your dream is.
You cannot do this though, without defining what success of that dream is.
By the combined effects of the.
The elements there must be expectations.
What you want to happen there must be milestones within a set time frame.
And finally, what is the end goal?
What does success look and feel like when achieved?
There are other components such as organization and adaptability.
But if expectations are not defined or are not met, then failure is inevitable.
Your formula should be start, fail, examine, restart.
Once consistency gets you to restart now, persistence pushes you forward.
A major component of persistence is patience.
You keep your eye on the goal and allow patience to do is perfect work.
And you refuse to let failure stop you.
My favorite resilience is that bounce back attitude.
It is mostly about the determination or the tenacity in your comeback.
This is when you see your failure as an obstacle to overcome instead of the end.
All resilience won't let you give up.
He had 27 dreams die by failure, but did he stop? No.
Henry Ford failed at his first few attempts to invent the automobile, but did he stop?
No, these three and others didn't let failure kill their dreams forever.
They let consistency, persistence and resilience.
You can research any one of these to day and learn.
Of their world wide impact and success stories because they applied CPR to their dead dream.
Moreover, just like there is life after failure, there is life after neglect.
When a dream dies of neglect, it's your fault.
It means that the dream did not get adequate attention, time and resources from you, the dreamer.
Your dream died because you did not care for it.
Our structure is an example of neglect.
Get this ignorance is negligence.
There is a plethora of information, cautionary tales in academia that can help you learn what.
If you do not become a student.
For your dream, then you will never graduate or be awarded its success.
Recovery from negligence is quite simple.
If you apply the CPR necessary to revive failed dreams.
But once you revive it, you must not neglect it again.
This will keep you from letting your dream die over and over.
You have the power to do at least your part to keep it alive.
Greatness is achieved when you master many little things.
Don't neglect the little things.
You could be doing everything right though.
You're giving your dream the attention it needs.
You know your gifts and have studied, practiced and mastered them.
You could be even enjoying the fruit.
And then some one else comes along.
Now, overnight your dream is in shambles.
It is the victim of cancel culture.
Because blogs and social media and news.
So boycotts and smear campaigns and news exclusives lead to the cancellation of rolling lemons.
But there is life after cancel culture.
This requires some deep introspection to determine the root cause.
Did you really do what they said you did?
Is an apology or some significant retribution required?
Maybe people became ill from some of your products.
Maybe there was a security breach.
These are all good reasons that society might cancel your dream, but it is not.
But there is no life after cancel culture.
If there is no accountability.
And no positive change own up to the lemons and you can surely make lemonade again.
Now how you do business is just as important as why you do business.
When motives are pure, mistakes can easily be forgiven.
But if the dreamer or the dream.
Has questionable intentions, harmful actions or inhumane attitudes.
Then cancel culture is necessary.
Whatever the dream, if it dies for any reason, it can live again.
Neglect is not the end, and certainly cancel culture is not the end.
After each of these, consistency steadies the dream.
Persistence pushes the dream, and resilience pulls the dream.
Let these three keep your dream alive.
Keep dreaming for music, encouragement and more of.
