Once upon a time, there was a 4-year-old boy named Braelen. He was taller than most kids his age and was extremely smart. His love for space and the solar system was beyond anyone’s imagination. His Auntie Jan Jan would keep him over the weekend and he would name all the planets in one breath and knew everything about each planet. He was fascinated with stars and the moon and dreamed of exploring space one day.
Auntie Jan Jan was amazed by her nephewโs knowledge and passion for space. She encouraged him to learn as much as he could about the universe and to never stop dreaming. She knew that her nephew was destined for greatness in the field of space exploration.
One day, Braelen’s mom decided to take him on a trip to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. As soon as they arrived, Braelen’s eyes lit up with wonder and excitement. He couldn’t believe he was standing in the midst of all the amazing space exhibits he had only ever seen in pictures before.
Braelen spent hours exploring the different exhibits and learning about the history of space exploration. He saw rockets and spacesuits and even got to experience what it felt like to walk on the moon! Braelen was thrilled and amazed by the experience and couldn’t wait to learn even more about space.

After their visit, Braelen’s mom noticed that her son was even more passionate about space than before. He talked non-stop about everything he had learned and couldn’t wait to discover more. She knew that Braelen was destined for great things and would one day make his mark on the world of space exploration.
Braelen continued to study and learn as much as he could about space. His family supported him every step of the way, encouraging him to aim for the stars and never give up on his dreams. Braelen knew that he wanted to grow up to be just like Neil deGrasse Tyson, and he worked hard every day to make that dream a reality.
Years later, Braelen had grown up to be a brilliant space scientist, just like he had always dreamed. He had made groundbreaking discoveries and had even traveled to space himself! Braelen’s mom was so proud of their son and knew that he was destined for greatness from the very beginning.
Braelen’s story teaches us that no dream is too big if you work hard and never give up. With the support of family and a passion for learning, anything is possible. So go ahead and aim for the stars, just like Braelen did!

I want to share with you a very important lesson that I’ve learned from Braelenโs story and throughout my life. It’s a lesson that has helped me overcome obstacles and achieve success, and I believe it can help you too.
No dream is too big if you work hard and never give up. With the support of family and a passion for learning, anything is possible. But what does that really mean? How can we apply this in our lives?
First and foremost, we need to have a willingness to learn and a distaste for assumptions. This is the life of a Troubleshooter. Learning is a process of progress, and we should always strive to improve ourselves. We need to bring our “thinking cap” to every situation, and never lose our sense of wonder.
Having wonder is a powerful thing. It’s the ability to be amazed and surprised by the world around us. We should be like children, with a sense of wonder, so we can say “wow” and truly appreciate the things we come across. We should never think we know it all or have seen everything, because there’s always something new to learn.
It’s important to remember that we never lose if we learn. Even if we fail, we can learn from our mistakes and grow stronger. Learning is the key to success and progress.
So, how can we cultivate a sense of wonder and a willingness to learn? Here are a few tips and analogies:
โข Be curious. Ask questions and seek answers. The more you learn, the more you’ll want to learn.
โข Keep an open mind. Don’t dismiss something just because it’s unfamiliar or different. Embrace new experiences and ideas.
โข Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you. Having a strong support system can make all the difference.
โข Imagine yourself as a sponge. Absorb as much knowledge as you can, and use that knowledge to grow and develop.
โข Remember the quote by Socrates, “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” Stay humble and always strive to learn more.
In conclusion, remember that no dream is too big if you work hard, never give up and keep faith in God. With the fear of God, support of family and a passion for learning, anything is possible. We need to have a willingness to learn, a distaste for assumptions, and a sense of wonder. If we bring our “thinking cap” to every situation, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve our goals.

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you with grateful hearts, thanking you for the gift of life and for the opportunities that come our way. We acknowledge that no dream is too big if we work hard and never give up. With the support of family and a passion for learning, anything is possible.
We ask for your grace to help us cultivate a willingness to learn and a distaste to assume. May we always be open to new ideas and experiences, and may we never lose our sense of wonder. Help us to be like children with a sense of wonder, so we can say wow and truly appreciate the beauty and complexity of your creation.
We know that learning is a process to progress, and we ask for your guidance and wisdom as we journey through life. Help us to bring our “thinking cap” every day, every situation, and to never lose our curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Hosea 4:6 says our nation is destroyed by lack of knowledge. Sometimes it seems itโs no desire for knowledge until itโs to late, but God You are still on the throne.
Thank you for the power of having wonder and for the countless opportunities to learn and grow. May we always remember that we never lose if we learn. May we never give up on our dreams, and may we always be inspired to work hard and persevere.
In your holy name we pray,
Amen.
