So many dreams, So little time!

How do you handle achieving so much when there is so much to achieve?

For the longest time I thought that dreaming was what you did when you did not want to deal with real life. You know, in school or college when the teacher is boring - o the things you could do. Have you noticed that the nicest weather is when you have exams? Why is that?

Then life kind of gets in the way and there is stuff you have to do - whether you like it or not. it took me a while to figure out that life is what you make of it. That was not a cliche anymore - it really is true. Live in the now and feel every emotion instead of bypassing it or refusing to accept it.

That is when the goals formed - you know, dreams with deadlines - but that sounds so ominous - like if you did not achieve it you will die - I think I like the sound of 'dreams with dates' much better.

Interesting reaction to those who have a different view of life - the ones steeped in the old ways who believe that dreams are something you chase after you are done with your duties - But here is my question - is there ever a time that your duties are over? Whether you are a daughter, sister, wife, mother, daughter-in-law, you always have a duty to perform. The challenge is to be able to do both without upsetting the boat - but that is not easy - that is why it is a challenge.

So what conclusions have I come to? That you can still achieve your dreams but you take it one step at a time - starting with writing them down and then looking at it every day. That is a reminder whether or not you have completed it. And once you achieve it - give thanks to the Universe for making it happen and then move on to the next one.

So one down and many more to go.
