Stop.  Quit.  Give up.

That’s what Normalites do when things get tough.  They don’t want to lose, look bad or make a mistake, so they quit.

It’s much easier to quit than it is to keep going when you’re not doing well.

Tyler almost quit pitching when he wasn’t doing well.  No matter how much he practiced, he didn’t seem to be getting any better.  Then he overheard his dad say he would never be a pitcher.

So he stopped pitching.  He quit.  He gave up.

Until the Champion Creator mission sparked his passion.

Then he remembered why he wanted to pitch and how much he loved it.

So he started practicing again.  Even though he struggled, he kept practicing.  Then he finally got another chance to pitch in a game.

This time the weeks and weeks of pitching practice finally paid off.  This time he recognized the negative thoughts Normalcy tried to control him with.  And this time, he replaced those negative thoughts with positive ones. 

His practice, perseverance and positive thoughts finally helped him do something he had never done before.

If you want to be a Dream Doer, you have to practice, practice and practice some more.  The only way to develop your skills and do what you dream is by working hard.  You have to take consistent, focused, positive action toward your dreams every day.

If you want to be a Dream Doer, you have to persevere.  You have to know what you want, why you want it and how to get it.  That passion and motivation then drives you to keep going toward your dreams even when you face obstacles and challenges.

If you want to be a Dream Doer, you have to be positive.  You have to think about what IS possible and focus on what you DO want.  You have to replace your negative thoughts with positive ones.

Normalites give up.  Dream Doers persevere.  Be a DREAM DOER.

Tomorrow, Alex learns another important lesson about being a Dream Doer…but she doesn’t learn the lesson until after she breaks a few rules…

Until then, enjoy the story!

To your dreams,

Bonnie Jean
