The story is told of a young man
who sat in his college class and wrote about an idea he had. He wanted to start
a company that could get a package from NY to FL in one day and from NY to
Canada in two days. Doubtful of the possibility of this actually happening, his
teacher marked all over this young man’s assignment in red ink, discouraging
his idea and calling him foolish for thinking any such thing could happen.
Determined to see his idea come
to fruition, this same young man dropped out of college, borrowed $100 from a
friend and started the American Messenger Company. The young man’s name was
James E. Casey and the year was 1907. Today that company is known around the
world as the United Parcel Service (UPS).
My message to you this morning
is, “Until Passion Supersedes.”
Until passion supersedes doubt, there
will be a possibility of failure. Not because it can’t be done, but because you
are allowing the negativity of others to infiltrate your desire and wishes. The
reason it is your dream, is because you believe it is a possibility. You can’t
count on outsiders to see your dream if their eyes never close and wander from
present reality. Take control of what you believe in and work towards it. No matter
how big or small your idea is, if it makes you happy give it a try. I guarantee
it will make someone else happy as well.
Until passion supersedes, your
dreams will remain just that…a dream.
