"I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams"- Oprah Winfrey
Well, I'm back again from my vacation and now that school is up and running again, I'm bringing mindfulness Mondays back and I must say it feels great to be back. Not only that, we get to start the process of analyzing quotes by analyzing a quote from a great person like Oprah Winfrey. I'll tell you when I received one of her quotes today I was pretty happy because she is such a great person and has done many good things in her life mainly helping people going through troubled times. Well to move on to her quote, I have noticed that it has motivational power. The reason why I say that her quote has motivational power is because she motivates people to build up the courage to follow our dreams. This to me right away gives me such an amazing feeling to follow our dreams because she talks about courage and dreams. As a reference, Naruto, the main character of the anime Naruto, always speaks of dreams in the same manner as Oprah. She quotes that the only courage we need is the one that allows us to follow our dreams and Naruto would literally be a good example of her quote. The reason why I say Naruto is a good example is that he always had the courage to follow his dream even when everybody around him would always laugh at his dreams, but he wouldn't care and he still kept the courage in doing so. To clarify, I used Naruto as an example for this quote because he truly shows this and conveys another meaning to the courage part in which it could be seen the reason that we should have courage in following our dreams due to the fact that there will be people that will always discourage us. This began to call out to me when I reference Naruto because like I said there were people that would always laugh at his dreams, but he had such a strong courage in following his dreams that he didn't care because he will do everything to make his dream come true. All I know, that thanks to this quote and the reference of Naruto, I will build up my courage to follow my dreams and make it stronger so that no one can make me doubt the path I plan to walk. Well, that felt really great in analyzing the quote and connecting it with the show that helped build my personality and thanks to this quote I'm going to fortify personality and stick to it. At the moment I feel good, but as usual, it's time to connect this quote with the IB profile. As I looked at the profile I realized that this quote is the first quote that stumped in connecting it with any part of the profile. For the moment I believe that this quote is connected with risk-taker. I know what you are wondering, but I feel that this profile has a good connection with the quote. To clarify, when we have dreams to follow there is no doubt that there are going to be many things that will make you rethink following your dreams and that sometimes comes with a risk. I know that it may not seem risky, but it actually is. There are going to be hard decisions along the way that will either prolong you from reaching your dream or stop you from reaching it. With a connection to the quote, we must build the courage to make the risks in order to stay true to our word. This is really important because I learned that following your dreams builds up your character in a manner that it is hard to notice and if they weren't dreams to follow then what we call goal or achievement and the great feeling of success would cease to exist. On that note, I will end today's mindfulness Monday. Until next week, I hope everyone will see the motivational power that this quote has.
