Self-fulfilling prophecies

So I just had the craziest déjà vu, I am explaining to my 8th period class about how they will preserve their plants. More specifically I am explaining the process of melting wax paper with an iron around a plant to preserve the plants. As I am talking I get this vision of someone getting burnt, me being sick, and a big race that is coming up this weekend. I remember having this dream about all of these events, it is hard to explain, but seriously it is like I knew what was going to happen. At the same time I really had to go to the restroom, like there is no waiting, so what do I do? (I don’t hold it like everyone says, I leave my classroom from time to time, but had the teacher across the hall listen in) As I leave I say for the 10th time, do not touch the iron until I get back. But when I get back I can tell one of the irons has moved. And a student comes up to me saying he burned himself. Luckily he did not touch it long enough to actually incur a burn. But………………. Close call.
So what about the rest of the déjà vu? What of the race, I had this déjà vu that this has happened before, I was sick and worried about the upcoming race. But all the worry was not needed because the race ended up turning out very well.

What does this mean? Am I a prophet? Do I see the future? I don’t think that’s my calling but who is to say?  Regardless of visions there is something to be said about how we look to the future. Do we always look for ways that we are going to fail? Do we wait to die, or to get sick, in a car wreck etc? Or do we look to the future with optimism? Each day being a chance to change who we are.
Each day should be the best day ever. Even if by a slim margin, make it better than the day before. Chose a future of greatness, not of mediocrity. Dream big, jump high. We may not make it to the very top, but each day is a chance to get a little further up the mountain. Each day the view is a little better, as you climb higher and higher and see more and more. So what of my race coming up? Did I see myself winning? No but I had a good feeling, a feeling that regardless of time or place I am going to sleep well knowing that I took a shot at glory.  
Choose the road less traveled, choose to suffer for a cause, choose to make a change. We are not supermen, but when you free yourself from worldly expectations you are free to climb, climb, climb.

Godspeed
