Yesterday I was looking out at my
1970 Volkswagen Beetle that I am fixing up, it is my first car that I bought in
high school for 900 dollars. I caught it on fire by going up the Lewiston hill
at 65 miles per hours which threw a piston rod through the engine case,
releasing tons of gas, mixed that with the sparks from the spark plugs and you
have a fire at the back of Volkswagen Beetle. Standing on the highway watching people
go by watching me watch the fire, I realized that I was one of my life’s dreams
to fix this car up and drive it until I die.
Yesterday I asked myself after 15
years of dreaming, is it worth fixing up my car? Was it worth a thousand or so
dollars on carpet, engine parts, gears, mirrors, seats and ect to fix up a car
that has sat in a back yard? The answer is “YES” because it is my dream. “YES”
because it is part of who I am. Just like my business to build ultralight
aircrafts, when I look at it and think about all the stuff I have to learn on
how to build airplanes, all the materials that I have to buy and build and
trial and error, I constantly ask myself, it is worth it do have my dream
business or should I do something else?
The answer is “YES” it is worth all
the trouble because it is my dream, it is who I am. And no matter how depressed
I get or how much flax I get from friends and family or from myself, I can and
will build a business that I am passionate about and dream about. Just like my
Beetle, I can ask myself is it worth it and have doubt, the answer is still “YES.”
