Pie In The Sky Print

the story

Coined in a song written in 1911 by a Swedish-born American named Joe Hill, we understand “pie in the sky” as something good and pleasant to contemplate, but very unlikely to be realized.

How great does the deck have to be stacked against you before you give up, labeling your dream as pie in the sky?

Only you can answer that, and every person has a different one. But we are often too quick to chalk something up as pie in the sky when it really isn’t. It can keep us from even starting. It lets us off the hook, thinking our dream was impossible anyway, because sacrifice and hard work and hope — yes, even hope — hurts sometimes. 

Not everything is worth seeing through ’till the end. As we grow, our dreams and desires and priorities can change. But don’t be tricked into stopping just because the odds seem long. Everything is impossible until it isn’t.

Yes, the odds may be long. Your stamina may be depleted. Your hope may be dim.

But if the cause is great enough and your soul is on board and your motive is pure, keep going.

You may just be able to grab that pie and eat it, too.
