Dreams

Often times I ask older people if they ended up doing what they wanted to do when they were kids. Usually I get the same answer;"my life took turns that couldn't support that lifestyle" usually using excuses such as parents, kids, job opportunities for the money, friends, and other obstacles of that sort. Iv'e always told them that those are excuses, and if you want something badly enough you would get it. The reasons people have dreams, is to motivate them to reach that point some day and make it so your reality is better than your dreams. People rarely understand this, and usually think dreams are their to mock you of what you can't do. If you think about it, ANYTHING is possible, and with initiative and motivation, the sky is the limit. The worst is when I see people that wanted to be professional athletes and ended up being miserable teachers. The problem with them, is that they never put in enough work to reach the big leagues. Assuming that they tried their hardest, it just wasn't meant to be. So why didn't they become a coach, or a referee if they loved the sport so much. It makes me sick to see people waste their life for a minimum wage salary, when they could have been the president. Nothing should stop you, especially not yourself, if your telling yourself you can't do something, keep telling yourself the opposite of that until that original thought is completely gone. Remember you only have one life to live, so make sure you make the most of it.
