Why I Keep Going For My Dreams, And You Should Too
Posted by Seth on February 3, 2010 under Living Your Dreams | 2 Comments to Read
When I was 16, my dad died.
It was awful. He wasted away for 8 years from Type I diabetes. Amputation, Blindness, heart Attack, Dialysis, Stroke, the whole bag. But it wasn’t really diabetes that killed him. I think it was a broken heart.
I can’t say for sure. But it broke my heart to watch him go down like that.
My best friend at the time, Jon, he overdosed 7 years later. Heroine.
My step-father at that time, Charles, he committed suicide 16 years later. That was last year.
The three most important men in my life at age 16, are now all dead. Since I am alive, I think I owe it to myself and the memory of these men to go for my dreams. That is reason # one.
My grandfather immigrated here from Ukraine at age 7. He had 8 brothers and sisters, and his parents were escaping religious and political oppression. They had a hard time, couldn’t get in for two years at Ellis Island. Spent two years in Mexico. Came back through Ellis Island and settled a section in Auburn, Michigan. He worked hard. Worked at Defoe shipyard, worked “down to the Dow” (Chemical) and built three houses. He put his wife through school. Went to night school to learn english and get a high school diploma. Watched both his kids die. Cleared weeds after work to save money for the first house. And Reinhold Braun ministered to the sick, the dying, the shut-ins and the lonely for 40 years. He busted his butt so I could have a better life. That is reason # two.
My daughter. Period. That is reason # three.
My stepdaughter. Paloma has another father, but I am her dad.For whatever reason, he hasn’t had the where with all to be a part of her life. Now I ask you, should a kid miss out on having a dad? Sometimes going for my dreams means that I am away from home, speaking, traveling to a seminar. But going for my dreams makes me a solid person. I can be a present dad to both of my girls. That is reason # 4.
Ultimately, I am so freakin’ passionate about life. I am endlessly interested in everything. Like Oprah said, “you can do anything you want, you just can’t do everything at the same time.” So I figure, I’d better get after it. One thing at a time. Well, Ok. I end up going for three to five things at a time. I can’t help myself. Really.
I could go on. It might do me good. What are your reasons? The world needs dreamers. America needs dreamers. Your family needs dreamers. “If you have built your castles in the sky, your work need not be lost. That is where they should be. Now put the foundation under them.” -Thoreau.
I believe this more strongly than most anything. Dreams make life rich, full and beautiful.Go for your dreams. More importantly, dare to open your heart to your dream. My dad stayed closed and it killed him. Be willing to feel the cold sting of rejection, criticism and disappointment. In the end, those individuals that dreamt big and failed will have no regrets. Those who kept the dream in their souls will have to wonder… did I lose the chance?
Why do you keep going? Please post your comments. This is an incredible question to ask.
Thank you,
Seth

This Page Is Intended To Be A Reference Area for Campus Activities and Student Enrichment
(Or anyone else that brings in speakers!)
Inspire, Encourage and Educate on Excellence
I want to I*nspire, E*ducate, E*mpower and E*ncourage your students, staff, faculty and administration to live the best life possible.
First, you want to know that you are bringing someone skillful that can impact your student body.
Second, you want to provide relevant material that will serve student development while engaging them. (Edutainment)
Third, you want to work with the budget you have.
To address the first point, here are testimonials from college students that attended lectures or longer programs:
Students In Long-Term Programs
I am better able to handle stress, I have less fatigue, and I have lost weight.
Kelly Colwell, University of Colorado Senior
I have better eating habits, I am exercising more and I have more energy.
Lorelei Ruttledge, University of Colorado Junior
University of Colorado Wellness Volunteer Group:
Thanks Seth for coming. I really enjoyed your wealth of knowledge and information on nutrition.
-Lindsay Miller, Sophomore
Seth, your presentation to our group was great. I know they enjoyed it and got some useful information from it. I think you really made a difference in how students view eating habits. Thanks so much for coming.
Anne Shuster, Director of Student Programs at Wardenburg Health Center
University of Colorado Women’s Rowing Team:
Seth is very knowledgeable about nutrition and very good at presenting information in a positive way. He gave me a new perspective, which has helped me to be positive, healthy and happy. He taught me things that I have not learned anywhere else!
- Kate Horton
Each session was productive and I learned so much. After every program, I had a more positive outlook and felt like everything you taught was something I could bring into my life. Goal setting, budgeting, healthy mind and emotions as well as eating were all helpful.
-Becca Bossert
Valuable lessons on energy, emotions, and good eating. I feel more control over my life. I loved the “crowding-out” theory. Focus on what is good, not on what you can’t have.
-Anneke Claypool
Seth’s focus is different than other health books that I have read. Seth’s whole focus is on being happy and healthy, not on being skinny or losing weight. I learned to use my time better, to get more sleep and that helped me eat better and feel better.
- Logan Loeb
I’d recommend Seth for your school because he helped us create a plan for a better lifestyle without pressure or guilt. I really appreciated the focus that emotions are important to health too.
-Jennifer Davis
Some of things that Seth said, I have heard before, but I was really able to put them into action in my life. Working with Seth has helped me both mentally and physically. Everything I learned was valuable, but especially the nutrition part.
- Claire Duvall
To address the second point, here are a list of lecture topics that students benefit from hearing about:
- Health Is A Decision
- Healthy, Fast and Cheap Meals
- E-mail and Cell Phone: Handling The New Distractions to Success in School
- Time Management for Student Success
- Sleep & Performance
- Attitude Makes The Grade
We Work Together To Meet Your Needs for The Audience
- The Power of Your Words
- The Downside of Energy Drinks
- Skills For Future Leaders
- Achievement In School & Life
To the third point:
I can work with you and your department to create a program that works for your budget. Since I wrote the Healthy, Fast and Cheap series, I’ve been able to co-create unique programs that meet your needs.
Multi-department collaboration provides a platform to maximize my visit to campus. In the past, I’ve been able to coordinate a student affairs talk to peer mentors, a talk to the athletic departments, and a talk to faculty and administrators on the same day. Since each department was able to contribute a small amount of funds for the day, it made the sessions a reality!
Example:
Peer Mentor Group: The Choice for Health
Athletic Department: Healthy, Fast and Cheap Meal Ideas for Performance
Staff, Faculty and Administrators: The Hidden Cost of E-mail, Internet and Cell Phone Use on Students
Thanks for taking the time to visit this page. Call me at 303 443 6543. I am eager to present exceptional quality edutainment to your students, staff, faculty and administration.
