Dreams
Sometimes I wonder, do I dream too small? Are my ambitions not ambitious enough? Even before reading the lessons and articles from this past week, I have had these thoughts and feelings. My husband is a very ambitious person and has become very successful because of it. I look at him and am amazed at all that he has accomplished. I shouldn't, but sometimes I compare my ambitions to his and other peoples as well. Mine seem almost small and inferior, which is silly (because they're my dreams!) but unfortunately, those thoughts happen regardless.
I have always been fairly simple with what I want out of life. I have never had any desires for fame, fortunes, large or multiple houses, expensive cars, etc. Totally NOT a "keeping up with the Jones's" type of girl. Don't get me wrong though, I think my simplistic view and desires are a good thing; except that I wonder if I'm settling with my dreams. Am I really living to my full potential with what I could really be or achieve? I honestly don't know the answer to these questions but I feel like I need to push myself and maybe try a little harder out of my comfort zone in regard to my ambitions.
I don't want to someday look back on my life when I'm old and regret that I didn't do more with it. Even if I might have what some may call small dreams, I can can grow them and make them all that I need or want them to be. I want to be proud when I look back my life and all the I accomplished and really live my life to the fullest.
