Tune In to Your Life

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

~Walt Disney

In my dream, I had contracted COVID-19. Since I have asthma, I was in the hospital. The nurse kept taking my temperature and saying, “You’re holding steady at 103.5.” I was lying in the hospital bed and kept telling myself, “103.5. I know I can beat this illness.”

Upon waking, I couldn’t remember much about the dream or even what the nurse looked like. However, I had a very vivid memory of the temperature, 103.5. I thought, That sounds like a radio station.

Looking for a change of scenery, I decided to go for a drive. I twisted the knob until it reached 103.5 FM. I wasn’t even sure there was a station at that frequency, but curiosity was getting the best of me.

Sure enough, there was a talk show discussing how to make a career switch. I heard people debating the pros and cons of changing careers and how furthering one’s education was beneficial.

It was eerie how relevant it was to my current state. I had been thinking about changing careers for some time but was afraid to take the leap knowing that it could require additional years of education.

It couldn’t be a coincidence. I ended up listening to the radio channel for over forty-five minutes. It provided some additional resources that I will be using soon as I apply for the courses that will help me achieve my dream job.
