1. How to Achieve Your Hopes and Dreams Presented By Pamela Bozeman-Evans North Park University

2. On Achieving Dreams… For yourself think of this. “Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams. Much more than a dreamer is required to bring it to reality; but the dream must be there first.” Robert Greenleaf For your community think of this. “Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.” Albert Einstein For the world think of this. “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” Horace Mann

3. A Play on Words for a Deeper Meaning How to Achieve My Hopes and Dreams is Literally Defined as… (How) In what way, (to) and in what direction, should I go (achieve) to gain the success, (my) that belongs to me, (hopes) and that is likely to happen; (and) linking (dreams) the images from my sleep that appear as both real and imaginary.

5. Get Naked… Question everything that makes you comfortable. Assume nothing and explore everything. Be vulnerable, exposed, and then rebuild. Note: Gandhi left everything to have more.

6. “Be Free” Fill your mind with new thoughts, and your life with new experiences. Note: Malcolm X traveled to Africa and began to see value in all races and ethnicities.

7. “Change Shoes” Change your perspective, your attitude and your direction. Note: Tyler Perry lived in his car before his first big movie break.

8. “Suit Up” Once you re-focus, prepare yourself for the best possible outcome. Be confident and strut. The “old folks” use to say fake it til’ you make it! Note: Rosie Perez thought her accent would keep her out of acting.

9. “Out Them” Get over being insecure, jealous, or overwhelmed. Out-smart “them”. Out-do “them”. Out-shine “them”. Out-run “them”. Then include “them”! Note: Michael Jordon was rejected from his first team.

10. “Dream in Color” Most of our dreams reflect our current lives, limited by space and time. What are your dreams like in HDTV, and can those dreams become your new reality? Note: Pharell Williams is color blind, but translates music into colors in his mind.

11. “Tell it, Yell it” Don’t keep dreams a secret. There are people who can guide you along your journey, and they have to know where you’re going. Also, don’t be afraid of the messenger, good news can come dressed in strange clothes. Note: Tony Bennett says Lady Gaga is a musical genius, gifted and quite the “lady”.

12. “Get in Your Lane” You know what you know. Now get what you need. Invest in your dream, or turn back now. Note: Paul Sareno was dyslexic, and is now one of the world’s leading paleontologists.

13. “Look Backward” At some point on your journey plant your feet and take a long look back. Are you moving in the right direction? Do you need to change course? It may be time to pat yourself on the back, or kick someone else on their backside.

14. “Give Someone a Ride” Dreams and the lives that they shape need constant care and support. Have you nurtured the people you’ll need to sustain yourself? Isn’t time for you to support someone else’s dream?
