February 19 2013 I listened to a man’s story about his life,
his American dream. Mauricio Garcia’s
lecture focused on the area’s we all have trouble with in our life. Mr. MO is just an ordinary person like me and
you, however unlike most people MO followed his dream and did whatever it took
for him to live the life he thought he wanted.
He was on the path to being a veterinarian until he met his maker, a
class he had to pass for that degree. MO took the class two times failing it
both times before he realized that his dream of being a veterinarian was going
to have to be just that, a dream. This is where his story really got
interesting to me because most people would simply give up and settle for the
next thing that came up. MO realized at that point he had to make a change, a
change that he wasn’t comfortable making he had to step out of his comfort zone
something that we are hardwired not to do. He got more involved in school and
the opportunities seemed to be endless at every turn he had another door to
open and with every door he opened and walked through something better came
from it. Mauricio Garcia is now a very successful person doing something he
loves to do and getting paid for it. His story is very inspirational as every obstacle
he faced are the same obstacles we all face while going through life. Most of
us take the easy way and end up with a job we hate living a life that we don’t want
to live, as MO said it takes more than just the minimum if you really want to
have the life you dreamed of. MO gave me a lot of things to think about and was
very helpful , it’s not every day you meet someone who is actually doing the
things they want to be doing but when you do it’s nice to be reminded by them
that the life you want is closer then you think.
